1. Qur'an is very clear that Jesus (Easa) (AS) was never killed nor crucified despite the criminal attempt of his enemies to kill and crucify him, but they killed and crucified a person who looked like him. (Al-Nisaa' 157).
2. Jesus was raised from the earth to the sky (Al-Nisaa' 158).
3. Jesus is still alive in the sky and will come down to the earth and will be a follower and supporter of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).

Hanifs or Ahnaaf are those who remained on the faith of Ebrahim (AS). There were neither Jewish nor Christian. Prophet's father, grandfather and Abu Talib, the uncle and protector of the Prophet (SAWA) were on that faith of Ebrahim (AS).
The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) never attended any Jewish or Christian theologian.
WAssalam.
Blood money (Diyyah) is a penalty and compensation money to be given to the family of the person who was killed to compensate the financial loss. If the killer committed the crime deliberately then he must be punished and Diyyah will not be enough.
Diyyah of man is more then the Diyyah of woman because man is usually the person who works and spends on his family and the financial loss of his family is much more.

The Qur'an was compiled in chronological order by Imam Ali (AS) as we read in our books. Qur'an was also compiled in the present order by Imam Ali (AS) according to the orders of the Prophet (SAWA). The Prophet (SAWA) used to order Imam Ali (AS) to put every new verse in the place where the Prophet used to order, so it was not according to chronology but the wisdom and the aim of guiding people to the Truth.

1. We find in Quran that Allah (The Glorious) orders people to be with be The Truthful who are the Infallible (Al-Tawbah 119).
2. We also find in Quran that Allah (The Glorious) orders the believers who repent and need forgiveness to go through the Prophet (Al-Nisaa, 64). This means that reaching to Allah need going through His most humble servants and never away from them.
