Please answer the question....

I'm not a Muslim or a Christian, but from my understanding of the religions ...

They are not buried anywhere, they both ascended bodily into heaven.

Muslims agree that Jesus was a prophet of God, they just disagree about his divinity. (as do Unitarians)

okay, one of my majors is theology, so I think I can shed some light on your question. The resurrection has a lot of emphasis because, Jesus became incarnate(acquired a human body) in order to relate to the people better, now after he died ( that signifies our death, because we all die eventually, and in sin) when he resurrected ( this signified new beginnings ,so sins are now forgiven) in christianity, when one becomes a Christian , it is called born again, hence, becoming cleansed from the old life, (which is living for your self) but when born again becoming a new person which is to live for God. This does not mean that the person belives they don't sin, but that they recognize they are sinners, but through Christ gain forgiveness. Hope that helps you.

I don't have much specific knowledge about Mohammed, but generally "prophets" and "spiritual masters" (like Jesus) are empowered to do "God's" work in the material world. A great soul or "mahatma" is protected by the (divine) spiritual energy of the Supreme Person and can absorb the sinful reactions of sincere followers. Universal gurus on the highest level (like Jesus) are fully empowered with all mystic perfections and occasionally (when necessary) display "miracles" to convince followers. By some accounts, Jesus traveled and preached in parts of India as a young man and quickly mastered the mystic yoga system. The "Aquarian Gospel of Jesus" (which I vaguely recall reading amidst a cloud of incense smoke circa 1970) gives some info about Jesus in India. Another understanding of the Crucifixion and Resurection is that Jesus, always protected by Divine energy, was completely absorbed in mystic yogic trance or samadhi after he was nailed to the cross. Because his breathing was almost imperceptible, he was mis-diagnosed as having died. Regaining external consciousness in his tomb, he broke out, wrapped up his difficult mission of trying to elevate predominantly barbaric, low-class desert-dwellers and eventually returned to India where he continued to preach (among more civilized people) and was known as Isis. There is still a shrine to "Isis" in Kashmir - where he is said to have passed away, and I have read that there is reference to this in the archives of the Russian Orthodox Church...I'm not a Biblical scholar, and obviously, some of what I have conveyed here is patched together with hearsay and philosophical speculation, but based on my study of Vedic spiritual science, I'm more inclined to accept this version of events than "official" church dogma.
