The Return Of Jesus Christ According To The Quran And The Hadith by ardeks(m): 6:44am On Aug 07, 2015 |
An examination of the verses about Jesus in the Quran
indicates that Jesus neither died nor was killed, but he was
raised to the presence of Allah. In Surat an-Nisa, it is related
that Jesus was not killed but raised to the presence of Allah.
The related verse follows:
And (on account of) their saying, "We killed the Messiah, ‘Isa
son of Maryam, Messenger of Allah." They did not kill him
and they did not crucify him but it was made to seem so to
them . Those who argue about him are in doubt about it.
They have no real knowledge of it, just conjecture. But they
certainly did not kill him. Allah raised him up to Himself.
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nisa: 157-158)
From what has been related so far, it is clear that Jesus did
not die but was raised to the presence of Allah. However,
there is one more point that is underlined by the Quran:
Jesus will come back to earth. That Jesus will come back to
earth towards the end of time is related in another verse
43:61. [detailed references are available in the book related
to other verses: 3:45-48; 3:55; 4:157-159].
Starting from Surat az-Zukhruf: 57, there is reference to
Jesus :
When an example is made of the son of Maryam (‘Isa) your
people laugh uproariously. They retort, "Who is better then,
our gods or him?" They only say this to you for argument’s
sake. They are indeed a disputatious people.
He is only a slave on whom We bestowed Our blessing and
whom We made an example for the tribe of Israel. (Surat
az-Zukhruf: 43-59)
If We wished, We could appoint angels in exchange for you
to succeed you on the earth. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 43-60)
Just after these verses, Allah declares that Jesus is a sign of
the Day of Judgment.
He is a Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it. But follow
me. This is a straight path. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 43:61)
Ibn Juzayy says that the first meaning of this verse is that
Jesus is a sign or a precondition of the Last Hour. We can
say that this verse is a clear indication that Jesus will come
back to earth at the end times. That is because Jesus lived
six centuries before the revelation of the Quran.
Consequently, we cannot interpret his first coming as a sign
of the Day of Judgment. What this verse actually indicates is
that Jesus will come back to earth towards the end of time,
that is to say, during the last period of time before the Day
of Judgment and this will be a sign for the Day of Judgment.
Allah surely knows the best.
The Arabic of the verse "He is a Sign of the Hour" is
"Innahu la ‘ilmun li’s-sa’ati…" Some people interpret the
pronoun "hu" (he) in this verse as the Quran. However, the
preceding verses explicitly indicate that Jesus is mentioned
in the verse: "He is only a slave on whom We bestowed
Our blessing and whom We made an example for the
tribe of Israel" [1]
In Sahih Muslim, it is also stated that the Hadith in which it
is said that the Prophet Jesus will descend amongst people
at the end of time have reached the degree of being
mutawatir, i.e. narrated by so many people in each
generation that it is not possible to have any doubt of their
authenticity, and that it is counted as one of the major signs
of the Day of Rising. (Sahih Muslim, 2/58)
Hudhayfah ibn Usayd al-Ghifari said, "The Messenger of
Allah (saas) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a
discussion). He said: ‘What are you discussing?’ We said: ‘We
are discussing the Last Hour.’ Thereupon he said: ‘It will not
come until you see ten signs before it’ – and (in this
connection) he made mention of the smoke, the Dajjal, the
beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of
‘Isa the son of Maryam, Yajuj and Majuj, and landslides in
three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in
Arabia at the end of which fire will burn forth from the
Yemen, and drive people to the place of their
assembly." (Sahih Muslim). Source: Islamicity.org |
