Stop lying and tell him how you want a jewish prophet to come back.

Muslims say all prophets were Muslim, do they teach you prophets belong to other religions in Ahmadiya?

By jewish he means jewish ancestry (not religion) . The second coming of christ is not mentioned clearly in Quran . Nor was it mentioned in Muwatta of Imam Malik (The first hadith collection) . Better leave this topic . We are already divided . Lets not discuss theology here

Jewish ancestry is a made up term by Zionists to give them a national identity. He was of semetic lineage but jewish denotes religion not race. In the Quran it says Jesus died a normal death but he was not crucified. That doesn't mean he ended up in Kashmir either though which most modern scholars say is false.

We talk about terms as they are generally understood :

The 2013 Pew Research study of American Jews found that 62% thought that being Jewish was mainly a matter of ancestry and culture, while 15% thought that is was mainly a matter of religion.

You may believe in second coming of Jesus or Mahdi . But if you dont , this alone does not make you an apostate or deviant (as this is not mentioned in the Quran)

Jews can believe what they want it doesn't make it true or else Judaism would not longer be a religion. A lot of Jews got influenced by the Zionist beliefs that is why they belief as such those who do not are usually marginalized by the Israelis.

The Ahmadi belief of Jesus is not what people have a problem with though.

@Pakistani Exile First Jesus will return back and he will return back at same age when he was picked taken up alive by ALLAH secondly as for Mirza neither he was a PROPHET nor he was a Mahdi nor he was Massiah he was nothing but a liar Because Hazrat MUHAMMAD SAW have told details and signs of Mahdi and Jesus when they will appear and as for any PROPHET after HAZRAT MUHAMMAD SAW no PROPHET would come only Jesus would return and he would implement Islam in the whole world @Spring Onion

 

[Pakistani E]

Hazrat Isa (as) preached the shariah of Hazrat Musa (as), not the shariah of the holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (saw). There is quite a difference, yes?
No one has said that all prophets were not muslims, But they were muslims according to the law they were given. Each prophet was sent to their own people, with laws that were relevant to their times, unlike Hazrat Muhammad (saw) who's law is universal. Do you agree with me on this much? I hope you understand what I meant by my statement.

Anyway I don't wish to discuss religion on PDF, as I keep saying, that I will be the only one who gets "sanctioned" if I start explaining my beliefs.

Ok



I dont understand how some here told me that Mirza sahab is not equated to a prophet then what made him "holy personality"?

Which of the 2 statements is right:

Is he a prophet or not? If yes, that automatically defies the Quran

If no, then how is he a "holy" personality?

I am not bashing your religion but I did not understand this point at all...for me when you said "holy personality" I thought you meant Prophet Muhammad SAW but seems like you meant Mirza sahab....

As far as my beliefs are concerned, to me the most holy man to ever live or will ever live is, Hazrat Muhammad (saw). Regarding Mirza Sahib (as), in my thinking , he is the Imam Mahdi/Messiah of this time. His status is similar to that Hazrat Isa (as) in regards to the Shariah of Hazrat Musa (as). As for your question about "defying" the Holy Qur'an:

In Sura Fatiha, we continue to appeal to Allah to ‘Ihdinas-sirat al-mustaqeem’ which translates to ‘Guide us to the right path’, followed later by ‘Siratallathina an ‘amta ‘alai-him’. ‘The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings’.
What is this right path and the blessings that Allah has been bestowing?

"And Whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent companions are these." (Chapter 44, verse 70)

Unless of course you translate this verse differently and say muslims can only attain the ranks similar to the truthful but not the truthful, and only similar to the martyrs and not the martyrs etc mentioned in this verse.

"If Moses and Isa had been alive they would have had to follow me"

Zurqani, Vol VI, P54 and Ibn Katheer, Vol II, P246

"The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the revelations clear for them, and see how they are turned away!"
Al-Maeda Verse:75

"And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, (all) Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn your back on your heels?" (3:145)

[Porus]

Sir Zafarullah Khan went to attend Jinnah`s funeral . In his own words :

“So! My intention in being there was to offer the congregational prayers along with everyone else---- if I had not intended and fervently desired to pray for my leader, would it not have been more logical and make sense for me have stayed home--- and not having come to the funeral?

He did not attend the funeral , not because he wanted some Ahmedi to lead it (which was very unlikely anyways) , but because it was being led by a person who considered ahmedis to be kafir , In words of Zafarullah Khan :

“I was told that the cleric (mullah) who was to lead the prayer was none other than a person named Shabir Usmani who had used vile and abusive language against the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement.”

Now tell me that will any one offer prayers behind a person who abuses his prophet / Messiah ??



This man (Shabbir Usmani) had declared that Shia were Kafir too , ironically he led the public funeral prayers of Jinnah ; A Shia whose coffin was transported from the Governor’s House to the burial location constantly accompanied by a black Alam (flag) on which was inscribed “Ya Hazrat-e-Abbas” !!!

“The [Sindh High] court pro-ceedings bear evidence of the last rites observed by Miss Jinnah immediately after her brother’s death. Witness Syed Anisul Hasnain, a Shia scholar, deposed that he had arranged the ghusl (last bath) of Jinnah on the instructions of Miss Jin-nah. He led his namaz-e janaza (funeral prayer) in a room of the Governor General’s House at which such Shia luminaries as Yusuf Haroon, Hashim Raza and Aftab Hatim Alavi were present, while Liaquat Ali Khan, a Sunni, waited outside the room. !!

Now would you say the same about Liaquat Ali ??

It is really sad to see a lot of members trying to make desperate attempts to belittle our national hero , only because they differ with his religious beliefs !!

No wonder why Taliban can not be eradicated from a country where fake historians and pathological liars like Dr. Safdar and Orya Maqbool are respected scholars and highly educated people like Pervaiz Hoodhbhoy are considered "Jahil" ...... Where useless Mullahs are prominent figures and no one wants to acknowledge the great services of people like Dr Abdul Salam and Ch. Zafarullah !!

Sectarian War is a great book, a must read for everyone interested in knowing the reasons behind the ongoing sectarian strife. please mention the name of the book when you cite an excerpt from it so the other people know where it was taken from. A good post overall.

True but as Muslims we believe the message as it pertains to God was the same although the rules sent to the people changed depending on time until the final Prophet. To say he was Jewish prophet would be false according to Muslim belief.

All Jews even the African Jews shares genetic similarities with the rest of Jews.

Not all Jews many Eastern Europeans were converted there was a whole kingdom of converted Jews in areas now belonging to Russia. They have noSemitic ancestry. Those Jews like African Jews who do share genetic similarity have Semitic genes not jewish genes lol.

 

[Dubious]

As far as my beliefs are concerned, to me the most holy man to ever live or will ever live is, Hazrat Muhammad (saw). Regarding Mirza Sahib (as), in my thinking , he is the Imam Mahdi/Messiah of this time. His status is similar to that Hazrat Isa (as) in regards to the Shariah of Hazrat Musa (as). As for your question about "defying" the Holy Qur'an:

In Sura Fatiha, we continue to appeal to Allah to ‘Ihdinas-sirat al-mustaqeem’ which translates to ‘Guide us to the right path’, followed later by ‘Siratallathina an ‘amta ‘alai-him’. ‘The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings’.
What is this right path and the blessings that Allah has been bestowing?

"And Whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent companions are these." (Chapter 44, verse 70)

Unless of course you translate this verse differently and say muslims can only attain the ranks similar to the truthful but not the truthful, and only similar to the martyrs and not the martyrs etc mentioned in this verse.

​

Above is mentioned the righteous...basically it is just requesting us to be on the righteous path...Arabic is such a poetic language a beautiful one indeed...it emphsizes points in this case it emphasized righteous....

If you want to put martyrs in then unfortunately suicide bombers think they are dying a martyr death too...by hurting and killing innocents that is far from righteous...

Whichever deed is righteous in ALLAH's eyes, we request to be on that path...that is all I will say...

Finally, thank you for enlightening us about your religion...

[M. Sarmad]

[/USER]

So you are back again with your usual "pack of lies"


Second coming of Jesus (as awaited by Most) is something that contradicts with Quranic teachings . Do you know that this concept contradicts the very verse of Quran that is used to prove "kufr" of Ahmedis ??

Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah , of all things, Knowing.(33:40)

Jesus announced his prophethood as an infant as per Quran (19:30)

Now if someone says that prophet Jesus is alive and he will come back again, then how come Muhammad(pbuh) is the last prophet who died some 1400 years ago ??? And if your answer is that he will come back as a "ummati" and not as a prophet , then you should know that this Mullah made "lame excuse" contradicts with clear Quranic verses !! . Also the Ahadith claiming the second coming of christ say that "he will make certain unlawful things lawful" , which again contradicts the Quran (5:3) which tells that religion is perfect and complete

The Return (Second Coming) of Jesus Christ عليه السلام



The Bible describes in a vivid language the corruption, destruction, and death typifying the End of Times. We see the godly forces confronting the evil forces of Satan, the Anti-Christ, and Gog and Magog. We learn that the cataclysmic events will take place in the Middle East. But still the picture needs to be completed.

Among these, the Quran and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم have foretold the return of Jesus عليه السلام . Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has prophesied about several events that will occur just before the advent of the day of judgment. The return of Jesus will occur AFTER the Anti-Christ (known in Islam as the Dajjal, meaning the Deceiver who claims to be God) appears and attempts to deceive people into worshipping him. Then, Jesus (the Messiah) عليه السلام will descend from Heaven, pursue and kill the Anti-Christ, and destroy the savage and unbelieving armies of Gog and Magog, and bring peace and brotherhood to the World.

Christians will recognize the truth and accept Jesus عليه السلام as a Muslim Prophet and Messenger of God. The religion of God (Islam) will justly rule the World. There will be no more oppression or wars, and peace will prevail. Furthermore, there will be no need to collect Jizyah (tax levied on Christians & Jews in Islamic states) because Christianity and Judaism will end. Every human being will be financially well-off and no one will accept charity. Jesus عليه السلام will perform Hajj (pilgrimage), marry, begets children, and die after living on Earth. His death will signal the beginning of the last days for humanity before the Day of Judgment.





1. Brief History of Prophet Jesusعليه السلام


Due to the fact that the Jews had become deaf and blind to the words of God and deviated from the teachings of Moses and the right path, Allah honoured Jesus عليه السلامwith Prophethood and sent him as a messenger to the Israelites. Bearing all hardships Prophet Jesus عليه السلام spent all day and night conveying the message of Allah. Unfortunately, in spite of his tremendous effort, most of the Israelites did not accept his message. Seeing that the poor and weak were becoming inclined towards him and fearing they would lose their leadership, the Jews secretly conspired to kill him. However, Allah saved Prophet Jesus عليه السلام from their wicked scheme and gave him greater dignity by raising him alive to the heavens.

Allah (God) says in the Quran, "They did not kill him (Jesus) and nor did they crucify him (Jesus), but it seemed to them (as if it was Jesus being crucified) and those who differ there in, are in doubt. They have no certain knowledge. They are following nothing but conjecture for surely they did not kill him but Allah raised him up to him." (Surah Nisa)

Allah (God) says in the Quran "When Allah says, Jesus; I will take thee to me and I will purify thee of the unbelievers" (Surah Al-Imran)

These verses clearly prove that the Jews did not kill Prophet Jesus عليه السلام and that he was raised alive to Heaven. It is due to verses like those mentioned above and many authentic Hadiths, we Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام is alive in Heaven at this moment in time. We further believe due to the following verses and authentic



2. Evidence from Quran about the Second Coming of Jesus عليه السلام



159. وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا

Allah (God) says in the Quran, "There shall not be anyone from People of the Book, but shall believe in him before his death and on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) shall be a witness against them." (Quran 4: 159)



Furthermore, Allah (God) also says in the Quran, "And he (Jesus عليه السلام) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Resurrection); therefore have no doubt about it (the Hour). And follow me (Allah), this is a Straight Path." (Quran 43: 61)





3. Jesus عليه السلام as one of the Major Signs of the Day of Resurrection

Jesus' return to Earth is a major sign of Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection):

Allah (God) says in the Quran, "And he (Jesus عليه السلام) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Resurrection); therefore have no doubt about it (the Hour). And follow me (Allah), this is a Straight Path." (Quran 43: 61) Ibn Abbas has said that the meaning of this verse is that Prophet Jesus' عليه السلام descent is a sign of Qiyamah. (Musnad Ahmad)

Huzaifa bin Usaid reported that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم suddenly came to us while we were talking. He asked, "What are you talking about?" We replied"We were talking about the Last Hour." Prophet (s) said, "It will never come until you see ten signs before it. He then mentioned the Smoke, the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Daabba, the Rising of the Sun from the place of its setting, the Descent of Jesus son of Mary (from Heaven), Yajuj and Ma'juj (Gog & MaGog)..." (Sahih Muslim)





4. How does Jesus عليه السلام look like?



‏حدثنا ‏ ‏هدبة بن خالد ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏همام بن يحيى ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏قتادة ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏عبد الرحمن بن آدم ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي هريرة ‏
‏أن النبي ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال ‏ ‏ليس بيني وبينه نبي ‏ ‏يعني ‏ ‏عيسى ‏ ‏وإنه نازل فإذا رأيتموه فاعرفوه رجل ‏ ‏مربوع ‏ ‏إلى الحمرة والبياض بين ‏ ‏ممصرتين ‏ ‏كأن رأسه يقطر وإن لم يصبه بلل فيقاتل الناس على الإسلام فيدق الصليب ويقتل الخنزير ‏ ‏ويضع ‏ ‏الجزية ‏ ‏ويهلك الله في زمانه الملل كلها إلا الإسلام ويهلك ‏ ‏المسيح الدجال ‏ ‏فيمكث في الأرض أربعين سنة ثم ‏ ‏يتوفى فيصلي عليه المسلمون

Abu Huraira narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "There is no prophet between me and him (Jesus Christ عليه السلام ). He shall descend so, recognize him when you see him. He is a man of medium height, (his complexion) is between reddish and white; he will be between (or dressed in) two slightly yellowish garments; His head looks as if it is dripping water even though it is not wet. He will fight people in the cause (for the sake) of Islam, will break the Cross and kill the swine (pig) and abolish Jizya (tax on Christians and Jews); and Allah will put an end to all religious sects except Islam during his (Jesus') time. He (Jesus) will slay the Antichrist (Dajjal) and he will stay in the World for 40 years. Then, he will die and the Muslims will perform the funeral prayer for him."(Abu Dawud and Musnad Ahmad)

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesusعليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellow garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud , and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "The Daijal (Anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah (nation), and will live for forty. Then Allah will send Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام. He (Jesus عليه السلام) will closely resemble 'Urwah bin Masud (a Companion of Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). He (Jesusعليه السلام) will pursue him (Anti-Christ) and kill him. Then, for seven years, the people will live in such a state that there will be no ill-will or enmity between any two individuals of them." (Sahih Muslim).



5. Prophet Jesus's عليه السلامTasks



Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will have three main tasks, is his second coming to Earth:
1) The first and most important will be that he will kill the Dajjal.
2) Protect the Muslims from Yajuj and Majuj (Gog & MaGog) by taking them to Mount Tur and then praying to Allah to make Yajuj and Majuj perish.

وأخرج ( ك ) أبو عمر الداني في ((سننه))(596) عن حديفة قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:

(( [ تكون وقعة بالزوراء ,الحديث وفيه] فالتفت المهدي [ فإذا ] هو بعيسى بن مريم قد نزل [ من السماء في ثوبين ] كأنما يقطر من [ رأسه ] الماء [ فقال أبو هريرة :إذا أقوم إليه يا رسول الله فأعانقه فقال: يا أبا هريرة إن خرجته هذه ليست كخرجته الأولى, تلقى عليه مهابة , كمهابة الموت , يبشر أقواما بدرجات من الجنة , فيقول له الإمام:] تقدم فصل بالناس, فيقول [ له ] عيسى: إنما أقيمت الصلاة لك , فيصلى عيسى خلفه, الحديث...


6. Prophet Jesus's عليه السلام descent and the killing of Dajjal (Anti-Christ)

Jesus will descend at dawn, while the Muslims are preparing to pray the early morning prayer.

Jabir reported that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A party of my followers will not cease to fight for victory until the Day of Resurrection. He (the Prophet) said, then Jesus, son of Mary, will come down. Their Imam will say," Come and lead our prayer" He will reply, "Some of you are leaders over others on account of divine honour upon these people." (Sahih Muslim)

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "... then Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام will descend. The leader of the Muslims will say to him, 'Come, lead us in the Prayer', but he will say, 'No, you yourselves are leaders over one another ." This, he will say: this is in view of the honour that Allah has bestowed on this Nation (the Muslim nation)." (Sahih Muslim and Musnad Ahmad)



Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: " While the Muslims will be making preparations to fight him (Anti-Christ), they will be lining up (for the Prayer) and the lqamah will have been pronounced, Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend and lead them in the Prayer; and Allah's enemy (Anti-Christ) on seeing him (Jesus) shall start dissolving like salt in water. If Jesus عليه السلام were to leave him (Anti-Christ) alone, he (Anti-Christ) would melt to death anyway, but Allah will have him (Anti-Christ) killed by his (Jesus') hand, and he (Jesus) will show the Muslims his (Anti-Christ's) blood on his (Jesus') spear." (Sahih Muslim).

Abu Huraira reported that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By the one whose hands my life is in, surely the Son of Mary عليه السلام will descend amongst you as a just ruler. He will destroy the cross (this could mean that Jesus will put a final end to Christianity), kill the pig (meaning Jesus will outlaw raising pigs) and abolish the Jizya (this tax on Christians & Jews will be abolished because Christianity and Judaism will end.)." (Sahih Bukhari)

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesusعليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellowish garments, withhis hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud , and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said, " Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم delivered a speech to us, most of which dealt with the Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) and warned us against him. Umm Sharik bint Abi-'Akr said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?’. Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "At that time they will be few in number; most of them will be in the Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their Imam will be a righteous man. While their Imam is going forward to lead the people in the morning prayer, Isa (Jesus) son of Mary will descend. The Imam will step back, to let Jesus lead the people in prayer, but Jesus will place his hand between the man's shoulders and say, 'Go forward and lead the prayer, for the Iqamah was made for you.' So the Imam will lead the people in prayer… Jesus son of Mary will be a just ruler and leader of my Ummah (Nation). He will break the cross, kill the pigs (outlaw raising pigs), and abolish the Jizyah (tax on Christians & Jews). He will not collect the Sadaqah (charity), so he will not collect sheep and camels. Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will be able to put his hand into a snake's mouth without being harmed, a small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The Earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will cease…” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)

أخرج ( ك ) نعيم (1613) عن كعب قال:

(( يحاصر الدجال المؤمنين ببيت المقدس, فيصيبهم جوع شديد, حتى يأكلوا أوتار قسيهم من الجوع, فبينما هم على ذلك إذ سمعوا صوتا في الغلس, فيقولون: إن هذا لصوت رجل شبعان, قال: فينظرون فإذا بعيسى ابن مريم,قال: وتقام الصلاة, فيرجع إمام المسلمين المهدي,فيقولعيسى: تقدم فلك أقيمت الصلاة, فيصلي بهم [ ذلك الرجل ] تلك الصلاة [ قال]: ثم يكون عيسى إماما بعده ))

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "Exactly at the time when the Imam of the Muslims will have stepped forward to lead them in the Morning Prayer, Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend upon them. The Imam will step back so that Jesus may step forward (to lead the Prayer), but Jesus عليه السلام, placing his hand between his two shoulders, will say, "No, you should lead, for the congregation has assembled to follow you. So, the Imam will lead the Prayer. After the salutation, Jesus will say, "Open the gate;" so the gate will be opened. Outside, there will be the Dajjal, along with 70,000 of the armed Jews. As soon as the Anti-Christ sees Jesus (upon whom be peace), he will start dissolving like salt in water, and will flee. Jesus will say, "I shall strike you a blow which will not allow you survive." And he (Jesus عليه السلام) will overtake him (Anti-Christ) at the eastern gate of Lud, and Allah will cause the Jews to be defeated.... And the Earth will be so filled with the Muslims as a vessel is filled with water. The entire world shall recite and follow one and the same Kalimah (the testimony of Islam: There is no god, but Allah. Mohammad is a Messenger of Allah) and none shall be worshipped except Allah." (Ibn Majah).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم (while relating the story of the Dajjal) said: "At that time, suddenly Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام shall appear among the Muslims. Then, the people will stand up for the Prayer, and he (Jesus عليه السلام) will be asked, 'Step forward, Oh Spirit of Allah (and lead us in the Prayer); but he (Jesus عليه السلام) will say, 'No, your own leader should step forward and lead the Prayer.' Then, after offering the Morning Prayer, the Muslims shall go forth to fight the Dajjal.' He said, 'When the Liar (Anti-Christ) sees Jesus عليه السلام, he will start dissolving like salt in water. Then, Jesus عليه السلام will advance towards him and will slay him; and it will so happen that the trees and the stones will cry out: 'Oh Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me.' None will be left from among the followers of the Dajjal, whom he (Jesus عليه السلام ) will not kill." (Musnad Ahmad).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "Then in the morning, Jesus son of Mary عليه السلام will join the Muslims, and Allah will cause the Dajjal and his followers to be routed, until the walls and the roots of the trees will call out: "Oh believer, here is a disbeliever hidden behind me: come and kill him."(Musnad Ahmad and Al-Hakim).

Based on Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid:" Every Kaafir (Disbeliever) who smells his sweet breath will die and his breath will reach as far as he can see. On seeing prophet Jesus عليه السلام , Imam Mahdi will take a couple of steps backwards so Prophet Jesus عليه السلام can lead the prayer; however, Prophet Jesus عليه السلام will place his hands on the Imam's shoulder and will say: 'Go forward and lead the prayer as the Iqamah was made for you'. Thus Imam Mahdi will lead the prayer." ( Ibn-Majah).

Abu Huraira narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "How will you be if the Son of Mary (Jesus عليه السلام) descends on you and your Imam (leader of prayer) is one of you?" (Sahih Bukhari)

حدثنا ‏ ‏قتيبة بن سعيد ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏يعقوب يعني ابن عبد الرحمن ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏سهيل ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبيه ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي هريرة ‏
‏أن رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال ‏ ‏لا تقوم الساعة حتى يقاتل المسلمون ‏ ‏اليهود ‏ ‏فيقتلهم المسلمون حتى يختبئ اليهودي من وراء الحجر والشجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجر يا مسلم يا عبد الله هذا يهودي خلفي فتعال فاقتله إلا ‏ ‏الغرقد ‏ ‏فإنه من شجر ‏ ‏اليهود



Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as saying:"The Last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight against the Jews and the Muslims kill them to the extent that the Jews will hide behind a rock or a tree and the rock or the tree will say: O' Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the Gharqad tree ( Boxthorn tree) will not say that because it is the tree of the Jews." (Sahih Muslim) The Jews are currently planting lots of Gharqad trees in Israel to protect them.



الدجال يخرج في بغض من الناس وخفة من الدين وسوء ذات بين، فيرد كل منهل، فتطوى له الأرض طي فروة الكبش، حتى يأتي المدينة، فيغلب على خارجها، ويمنع داخلها، ثم جبل إيلياء، فيحاصر عصابة من المسلمين، فيقول لهم الذي عليهم: ما تنتظرون بهذا الطاغية أن تقاتلوه حتى تلحقوا بالله أو يفتح لكم، فيأتمرون أن يقاتلوه إذا أصبحوا، فيصبحون ومعهم عيسى ابن مريم ، فيقتل الدجال، ويهزم أصحابه، حتى إن الشجر والحجر والمدر يقول: يا مؤمن! هذا يهودي عندي؛ فاقتله .

رواه الحاكم في "مستدركه"، وقال "صحيح الإسناد ولم يخرجاه"، وقال الذهبي في "تلخيصه": "على شرط البخاري ومسلم ".

قلت: وله حكم المرفوع؛ لأن مثله لا يقال من قبل الرأي، وإنما يقال عن توقيف.

7. Where will Jesus عليه السلام descend from Heaven?

Some narrations indicate Jesus will descend in Damascus, while other narrations indicate Jerusalem:

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesusعليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellowish garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud (a city 13 miles east of Tel Aviv, Israel), and will kill him."(Sahih Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said, " Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم delivered a speech to us, most of which dealt with the Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) and warned us against him. Umm Sharik bint Abi'l-'Akr said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?’. Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "At that time they will be few in number; most of them will be in the Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their Imam will be a righteous man. While their Imam is going forward to lead the people in the morning prayer, Isa (Jesus) son of Mary will descend. The Imam will step back, to let Jesus lead the people in prayer, but Jesus will place his hand between the man's shoulders and say, 'Go forward and lead the prayer, for the Iqamah was made for you.' So the Imam will lead the people in prayer… Jesus son of Mary will be a just ruler and leader of my Ummah (Nation). He will break the cross, kill the pigs (outlaw raising pigs), and abolish the Jizyah (tax on Christians & Jews). He will not collect the Sadaqah (charity), so he will not collect sheep and camels. Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will be able to put his hand into a snake's mouth without being harmed, a small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The Earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will cease…” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)



8. Where will Jesus عليه السلام kill the Anti-Christ ?

Some narrations indicate Jesus will kill the Anti-Christ in Lud (near Tel Aviv, Israel), while other narrations indicate it will be near Afiq, close to Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee). Some scholars such as Al-Ahwazi believe that Lud does not refer to a name of a city or location, but rather it means Fitna (strife, trial, or tribulation).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesusعليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellowish garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud, and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "Then Jesus عليه السلام will descend, and Allah will cause the Dajjal to be killed near the mountain pass of Afiq (in Palestine, few miles from Lake Tiberias, called by Israelis 'Sea of Galilee') ." (Musnad Ahmad).

‏حدثنا ‏ ‏قتيبة ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏الليث ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏ابن شهاب ‏ ‏أنه سمع ‏ ‏عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن ثعلبة الأنصاري ‏ ‏يحدث عن ‏ ‏عبد الرحمن بن يزيد الأنصاري ‏ ‏من ‏ ‏بني عمرو بن عوف ‏ ‏يقول سمعت ‏ ‏عمي ‏ ‏مجمع ابن جارية الأنصاري ‏ ‏يقول ‏
‏سمعت رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏يقول ‏ ‏يقتل ‏ ‏ابن مريم ‏ ‏الدجال ‏ ‏بباب لد

رواه: الإمام أحمد، وأبو داود الطيالسي، والترمذي، وابن حبان في "صحيحه". وقال الترمذي : "هذا حديث صحيح"

Mujm'e bin Jariya Al-Ansari narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: " Son of Mary (meaning Jesus) will kill the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) at a door of Lud."(Tirmizi, Ahmad, Tabarani, Ibn Hayan, Abu Dawood Al-Tayalisi) . Tirmizi classified it as a Sahih Hadith.



9. The Wisdom in the Descent of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام

Sunni Muslim scholars have given many different reasons for the return of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام to this World. A few are listed below:


1) The Jewsbelieve that they killed Prophet Jesus عليه السلام , Allah will send him before the end of time to prove that they did not killed him and that he is alive. It is Jesus who will fight the Jews and kill their leader, the Dajjal. (Ibn Hajar Al'Asqalani's Fathul-Bari)


2) Some scholars have said that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام found many virtues of the followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Bible and thus he prayed to Allah to make him amongst the nation of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Allah answered his prayer and he will return for the second time as one of the followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. (Ibn Khathir)


3) It is the Law of Allah that anything created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not in the Heavens. Thus, he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried near the Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. (Muhammad Al-Barzanji's book Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat AsSaa'h).

10. Prophet Jesus عليه السلام and the Ya'juj Ma'juj (Gog Magog)

Nawwas bin Sam'an narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid:

" .... (After the Dajjal appears with his trails and tribulations,) it will at this very time that Allah will send the Messiah, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then go after (the Dajjal) until he catches him at the gate of Lud and kills him. Then, a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise.

It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus the following words: 'I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur (mountain).' Then, Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them (Gog and Magog) will pass the lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: 'There was once water there.'

Jesus and his companions will then be besieged here (at Tur mountain, and they will be so hard pressed) to the extent that an ox will be more valuable to them than one hundred Dinars (Arabic currency). Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, Jesus, and his companions will supplicate (pray) to Allah, who will send to them (Gog and Magog) insects (which will attack their necks) and in the morning, they would perish as one single person. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, Jesus, and his companions will then come down (from Tur mountain) and they will not find as much space as a single span that is not filled with decomposed remains of Gog and Magog's corpses. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, Jesus, and his companions will then supplicate to Allah who will send birds whose necks would be like those (the necks) of Bactrian camels and they will carry them (Gog and Magog) away and throw them where Allah wills.

Then Allah will send rain which no house of mud-bricks or (tent of) camel-hair will keep out and it will wash the Earth until it resembles a mirror. Then, the Earth will be ordered (by Allah) to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, pomegranate will grow that will be enough for a group of people to eat and seek shelter under its skin. A dairy cow will give so much milk that (will be enough for) a group of people to drink. The milking camel will give so such milk that a whole tribe will be able to drink from it...

At that time, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothe (people) even under their armpits. He will take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked will survive who will commit adultery like donkeys and the Last Hour would come to them." (Sahih Muslim)

عن الصادق الصدوق(صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم): ((… إذا قتل عيسى بن مريم() الدجّال ، أوحى الله تعالى إلى عيسى() ، أن أنطلق أنت ومن معك من المؤمنين إلى الطور ، فإنه قد خرج عباد لي لا يطيقهم أحد غيري والمؤمنون يومئذ اثنا عشر ألفاً سوى الذراري والنساء ، ويخرج يأجوج ومأجوج وهم من كل حدب ينسلون…))



11. Prophet Jesus عليه السلام as a Just Judge

‏حدثنا ‏ ‏إسحاق ‏ ‏أخبرنا ‏ ‏يعقوب بن إبراهيم ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏أبي ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏صالح ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏ابن شهاب ‏ ‏أن ‏ ‏سعيد بن المسيب ‏ ‏سمع ‏ ‏أبا هريرة ‏ ‏رضي الله عنه ‏ ‏قال ‏
‏قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏والذي نفسي بيده ‏ ‏ليوشكن أن ينزل فيكم ‏ ‏ابن مريم ‏ ‏حكما عدلا فيكسر الصليب ويقتل الخنزير ويضع ‏ ‏الجزية ‏ ‏ويفيض المال حتى لا يقبله أحد حتى تكون السجدة الواحدة خيرا من الدنيا وما فيها ثم يقول ‏ ‏أبو هريرة ‏ ‏واقرءوا إن شئتم ‏

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By whom my soul is in his hand, soon, the Son of Mary (Jesus) will come down to be among you as a just Judge. He will break the cross, kill (outlaw raising) the pig, and abolish the Jizya (tax on Christians & Jews because Christianity and Judaism will end). There will be abundance (surplus or outflow) in Wealth (and money) to the extent that no one will accept it (if you want to give charity) and a single prostration (in prayer to Allah) will be better than the World and all what is in it." ( Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)





12. Islam will spread and the World will be ruled according to Islam

There is no Hadith that mentions that Jesus will rule the World. However, there are Hadith that indicate Islam will spread throughout the World and the World will be ruled according to laws of Islam. Furthermore, Jesus will ensure that Christianity and Judaism will no longer be practiced.

‏حدثنا ‏ ‏أبو الربيع العتكي ‏ ‏وقتيبة بن سعيد ‏ ‏كلاهما ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏حماد بن زيد ‏ ‏واللفظ ‏ ‏لقتيبة ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏حماد ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أيوب ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي قلابة ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏أبي أسماء ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏ثوبان ‏ ‏قال ‏
‏قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏إن الله ‏ ‏زوى ‏ ‏لي الأرض فرأيت مشارقها ومغاربها وإن أمتي سيبلغ ملكها ما ‏ ‏زوي ‏ ‏لي منها وأعطيت الكنزين ‏ ‏الأحمر ‏ ‏والأبيض ‏ ‏وإني سألت ربي لأمتي أن لا يهلكها بسنة عامة وأن لا يسلط عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيستبيح ‏ ‏بيضتهم ‏ ‏وإن ربي قال يا ‏ ‏محمد ‏ ‏إني إذا قضيت قضاء فإنه لا يرد وإني أعطيتك لأمتك أن لا أهلكهم بسنة عامة وأن لا أسلط عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم يستبيح ‏ ‏بيضتهم ‏ ‏ولو اجتمع عليهم من بأقطارها أو قال من بين أقطارها حتى يكون بعضهم يهلك بعضا ‏ ‏ويسبي ‏ ‏بعضهم بعضا

Thawban said that The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah, the Exalted, unfolded for me the Earth, to the extent that I saw its Eastern and Western sides (i.e. the extremities). The Kingdom of my Ummah (nation) will reach as far as what has been unfolded to me. The two treasures, the red (Persian Kingdom) and the white (Roman Empire), were bestowed on me.... " (Sahih Muslim and Ibn Kathir)



The word of Islam will spread throughout the World, enter every home, and no one will be left who has not heard of it.

Al-Miqdad ibn Aswad said I heard the Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم say: "Not a dwelling (house) whether of brick, or fur will remain on the surface of the Earth that Allah will not ensure that the word of Islam enters it, either honoring an honorable person or disgracing an abject person." (Imam Ahmad, At-Tabarani, Ibn Hibban, Al-Haakim, Al-Albany)

A variation of this hadith reported by Al-Albany in AsSahiha states:

قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ليبلغن هذا الأمر مبلغ الليل والنهار، بعز عزيز، وبذل ذليل، عزاً يعز الله به الإسلام، وذلاً يذل به الكفر»

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "This matter (Islam) will reach as far as Day and Night (can reach), honoring an honorable and dishonoring (disgracing) a dishonorable (lowlife, who deserves to be disgraced or humiliated). An honor by which Allah honors Islam and a disgrace by which Allah disgraces disbelief."(Al-Albany)



13. Blessings at the time of ProphetJesusعليه السلام

All types of spiritual and worldly blessings will descend on Earth in his time.

- There will be an abundance in wealth. Wealth will flow like water. The Islamic government will be wealthy and all people will be financially well-off, having lots of wealth and property, to the extent that nobody will be in the need of Zakat (tax) and Sadaqa (charity). People will no longer have to pay Zakat and Sadaqa.

- All hearts will be free from misery, envy, malice, and jealousy.

- Each harmful animal will be made harmless. Camels will graze with the lions and the cheetahs with cattle. A little girl will chase a lion and make it run away from her like children chasing a puppy and this lion will not harm her. Venom will be taken out from all venomous animals, a little boy will put his hand in a snake's mouth, but it will not harm him. The wolf will live with the sheep and protect them as if it were a sheep dog.

- Peace, harmony and tranquillity will prevail in the world. People will be in complete agreement, wars will cease, the earth will be filled with peace like a silver basin and it will sprout with vegetation like at the time of Prophet Adam عليه السلام .

- The fertility of the land will increase to the extent that if a seed is planted in a rock, it will sprout. 700 mudd of wheat will sprout without ploughing the land. The Earth will produce so much fruit that a large group of people will sit to eat a bunch of grapes or a pomegranate and they will be satisfied and use it's peel as an umbrella.

- There will also be blessing in milk. The milk of a single she camel will be sufficient to satisfy the hunger of a large group of people. A cow will produce what is sufficient for a tribe of people, and a sheep will produce milk, which is sufficient for a family of people.

- Horses will be cheap as they will be never ridden in war and bulls will be expensive, as they will be needed to plough the land.

- Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable after Jesus' descent from Heaven and people will live in comfortably during Jesus' reign as a Muslim Caliph.

(Nawwas bin Sarnaan /Muslim and Abu Umamah/Ibn Majah)





14. Jesus will perform Hajj (Pilgrimage) like Muslims



Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: "By Him in Whose Hand is my life (meaning I swear By Allah that), Son of Mary (Jesus) will make Talbiya (required declaration) for performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) or for Umrah or for both in the valley of Rawda." (Sahih Muslim)



Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Jesus, Son of Mary عليه السلام shall descend; then he will kill the pig and destroy the Cross; and a congregation will be held for him for the Prayer; and he will distribute so much wealth that people will be satiated with it; and he will abolish the Jizya (tribute tax on Christians & Jews) ; and he will camp at Rawda (a place at a distance 35 miles from Madina), and from there will go to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, or both." (Sahih Muslim).



15. The similarity between Jesus and Adam

The 59th verse of the Sura 3 (Family of Imran) points to a similarity between Adam and Jesus. There is no other comparison like that between any other two prophets in the Quran. How many times are each of Jesus' first name and the word "Adam" mentioned in the Quran? Exactly 25 times each.

The verse that points to this similarity between Jesus and Adam is :

[3:59] The example of Jesus, as far as GOD is concerned, is the same as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "Be" so he becomes.

The wordNumber of occurrence
Adam25
Jesus25
If we study the numerical value of the names, عِيسَى(Jesus in Arabic) and ءَادَمَ (Adam in Arabic), we will find that the numerical values of Jesus: 70 +10+ 60 +10 and of Adam: 1+ 1+ 4 + 40.

If we add all the digits of Jesus and Adam: 7+0+1+0+6+0+1+0+1+1+4+4+0 = 25.

Jesus' name is mentioned 25 times in the Quran and also Adam's name is mentioned 25 times in the Quran.

Trinitarian Christians believe Jesus is God because Jesus was created without a father. Such a blasphemous belief is contrary to the omnipotence of God. God provides us with Adam as the ultimate, miraculously created human being whom God created, though Adam had no father and no mother. Whereas Jesus had at least mother, but no father. Adam's birth was more miraculous than Jesus' birth. Since Christian believe Adam was a merely a human being, so they should recognize that Jesus was also merely a human being like Adam.

By doing so, God shows how illogical it is to attribute to Jesus divine qualifications. God, while referring to the similarity between Adam and Jesus, also supports this statement with numerical miracles mentioning each of Jesus and Adam 25 times in the Quran.

The numerical miracle is not limited to this alone. Let’s examine the table below:

Verse 59 of Sura Family of Imran (Chapter 3) illustrates the relationship between Adam and Jesus. It is the only verse in which these two names are mentioned together. In this verse, both these two names are used the 7th time from the beginning of the Quran. On the other hand, these two names in verse 59 are the 19th time they are mentioned in Quran, if we start counting from the end of the Quran.

From the beginning of the Quran to verse 3:59, there are 352 verses. In 3:59, the names Adam and Jesus are used for the 7th time. So, we get: 352 + 7 = 359 which refers to verse 3:59



We would like to present another interesting point. How many times the word Mary is used in the Quran? 34 times. As we have mentioned earlier, Jesus is mentioned by name is Sura Mary in verse 34.

34. ذَلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
34. Such is ‘Isa son of Maryam (Jesus son of Mary. That is) the truth about which these people doubt




The 19th occurrence of each of the names of Jesus and Adam in the Quran (if we count from the beginning of the Quran) is in the Sura Mary which is the 19th Sura of the Quran. The word Jesus appears in verse 34 and the word Adam appears in the verse 58 of Sura Mary. If we start counting from the verse 34 (including verse 34), we find that verse 58 is the 25th verse.

58. أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَا إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَن خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا
58. These are the people on whom Allah bestowed Favour from among the Prophets of the seed of Adam and of those (believers) whom We (saved and) carried with Noah in the Ark, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel (Jacob) and of those (chosen ones) whom We guided and exalted. When the Verses of the Most Kind (Lord) are recited to them, they fall down prostrating themselves in (profuse) tears.




16. Jesus' Marriage, life, and Death



Sometime narrations indicate that Jesus will live for 7 years, other narrations indicate he will live for 40 years.



There is a narration in Nuaim bin Hammad's Kitab Al-Fitan that specifies that after Jesus returns to Earth, he will get married, have children, and will live for a period of 19 years after his marriage. According to this narration, he may live more than 19 years.



‏حدثنا ‏ ‏عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏أبي ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏شعبة ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏النعمان بن سالم ‏ ‏قال سمعت ‏ ‏يعقوب بن عاصم بن عروة بن مسعود الثقفي ‏ ‏يقول سمعت ‏ ‏عبد الله بن عمرو ‏ ‏وجاءه رجل فقال ما هذا الحديث الذي تحدث به تقول إن الساعة تقوم إلى كذا وكذا فقال سبحان الله أو لا إله إلا الله ‏ ‏أو كلمة نحوهما ‏ ‏لقد هممت أن لا أحدث أحدا شيئا أبدا إنما قلت إنكم سترون بعد قليل أمرا عظيما يحرق ‏ ‏البيت ‏ ‏ويكون ويكون ‏ ‏ثم قال ‏
‏قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏يخرج ‏ ‏الدجال ‏ ‏في أمتي فيمكث أربعين ‏ ‏لا أدري أربعين يوما أو أربعين شهرا أو أربعين عاما ‏ ‏فيبعث الله ‏ ‏عيسى ابن مريم ‏ ‏كأنه ‏ ‏عروة بن مسعود ‏ ‏فيطلبه فيهلكه ثم يمكث الناس سبع سنين ليس بين اثنين عداوة ثم يرسل الله ريحا باردة من قبل ‏ ‏الشأم ‏ ‏فلا يبقى على وجه الأرض أحد في قلبه مثقال ذرة من خير أو إيمان إلا قبضته حتى لو أن أحدكم دخل في ‏ ‏كبد ‏ ‏جبل لدخلته عليه حتى ‏ ‏تقبضه ‏ ‏قال سمعتها من رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال فيبقى شرار الناس في خفة الطير ‏ ‏وأحلام السباع ‏ ‏لا يعرفون معروفا ولا ينكرون منكرا فيتمثل لهم الشيطان فيقول ألا تستجيبون فيقولون فما تأمرنا فيأمرهم بعبادة الأوثان وهم في ذلك ‏ ‏دار ‏ ‏رزقهم حسن عيشهم ثم ينفخ في ‏ ‏الصور ‏ ‏فلا يسمعه أحد إلا ‏ ‏أصغى ‏ ‏ليتا ‏ ‏ورفع ‏ ‏ليتا ‏ ‏قال وأول من يسمعه رجل ‏ ‏يلوط ‏ ‏حوض إبله قال ‏ ‏فيصعق ‏ ‏ويصعق ‏ ‏الناس ثم يرسل الله أو قال ينزل الله مطرا كأنه ‏ ‏الطل ‏ ‏أو الظل ‏ ‏نعمان ‏ ‏الشاك ‏ ‏فتنبت منه أجساد الناس ثم ينفخ فيه أخرى فإذا هم قيام ينظرون ثم يقال يا أيها الناس هلم إلى ربكم ‏



‏وقفوهم إنهم مسئولون ‏



‏قال ثم يقال أخرجوا ‏ ‏بعث ‏ ‏النار فيقال من كم فيقال من كل ألف تسع مائة وتسعة وتسعين قال فذاك يوم ‏



‏يجعل الولدان شيبا ‏



‏وذلك ‏



‏يوم يكشف عن ساق ‏





Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, " The Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah, and will remain for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. Then Allah will send Jesus son of Mary, who looks like Urwah bin Masud. He (Jesus) will chase the Dajjal and kill him. Then, people will stay forseven years during which there will be no enmity between any two persons. Then, Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of AshSham (Greater Syria), which will take the soul of everyone who has the slightest speck of good or faith in his heart. Even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, the wind would reach him there and take his soul. Only the most wicked people will be left; they will be as careless as birds, with the characteristics of beasts, and will have no concern for right and wrong. Then, Satan will come to them in human form and say: 'Don't you respond?' And they will say: 'What do you order us to do?' And he (Satan) will order them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they will have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then, the trumpet will be blown and no one will hear that but he will bend his neck and raise it. He (the Prophet) said 'The first one to hear that trumpet will be the person who will be busy repairing the water reservoir for his camels (to drink). He will be struck and the other people will also struck, then Allah will send or He (the Prophet) said will bring down rain which will be like men's semen, out of which the bodies of the (dead) people will grow. Then the trumpet will be blown another time and they (dead people) will be resurrected and be looking around.' Then it will be said: 'O people, go to your Lord (God)'. Then he (the Prophet) mentioned verse 24 of Chapter 37: 'Stop them for they must be questioned.' He (the Prophet) said "Then it will be said 'Bring out the groups of Hell-Fire'. It will be said'How many ? ' It will be said: 'Out of every one thousand, nine hundred ninety nine.' Then, He (the Prophet) said: 'That is the day (and he mentioned the end of verse 17 of Chapter 73) that makes children turn grey-haired.' Then he mentioned the end of verse 42 of Chapter 68: 'The day that reveals the great affliction, and they will be called to prostrate, but they can not.' " (Sahih Muslim)

‏أن النبي ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال ‏ ‏ليس بيني وبينه نبي ‏ ‏يعني ‏ ‏عيسى ‏ ‏وإنه نازل فإذا رأيتموه فاعرفوه رجل ‏ ‏مربوع ‏ ‏إلى الحمرة والبياض بين ‏ ‏ممصرتين ‏ ‏كأن رأسه يقطر وإن لم يصبه بلل فيقاتل الناس على الإسلام فيدق الصليب ويقتل الخنزير ‏ ‏ويضع ‏ ‏الجزية ‏ ‏ويهلك الله في زمانه الملل كلها إلا الإسلام ويهلك ‏ ‏المسيح الدجال ‏ ‏فيمكث في الأرض أربعين سنة ثم ‏ ‏يتوفى فيصلي عليه المسلمون



Abu Huraira narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "There is no prophet between me and him (Jesus Christ عليه السلام ). He shall descend so, recognize him when you see him. He is a man of medium height, (his complexion) is between reddish and white; he will be (dressed) in two yellowish garments; His head looks as if it is dripping water even though it is not wet. He will fight people in the cause (for the sake) of Islam, will break the Cross and kill the swine (pig)and abolish Jizya (tax on Christians and Jews); and Allah will put an end to all religious sects except Islam during his (Jesus') time. He (Jesus) will slay the Antichrist (Dajjal) and he will stay on Earth for 40 years. Then, he will die and the Muslims will perform the funeral prayer for him." (Abu Dawud and Musnad Ahmad).

وروى الطبراني من حديث عبد الله بن نافع ، عن عثمان بن الضحاك ، عن محمد بن يوسف بن عبد الله بن سلام ، عن أبيه ، عن جده قال : يدفن عيسى ابن مريم مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وأبي بكر وعمر ، فيكون قبره رابعا .

Othman bin Al-Dhahak based Mohammad bin Yousef bin Abullah in Salam, based on his grandfather, said: "Jesus son of Mary will be buried with the Messenger of Allah , along with Abu Bakr and Omar, such that his coffin will be the fourth." (Tabarani)

Abdullah bin Amr narrated that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the Messiah will die after completing the duration he was destined to pass in the World and that Muslims will offer his funeral prayers and bury him next to the grave of the Prophet (Mohammad). (Mishkat, p. 480)



After Jesus returns and then dies, a pleasant wind will take the souls of all the remaining Believers in Allah and this may be referred to as the Rapture. After this wind, only the UnBelievers will remain on Earth and they may live for an unknown number of years until the Day of Resurrection occurs.
