Jesus (Isa) A.S. in Islam, and his Second Coming
by Mufti A.H. Elias
Mirrored from
http://www.islam.tc/prophecies/jesus.html
with
explanatory notes by Dr. Ari Levitt
The person described on this page is most obviously
neither the Yeshua of the Bible nor the Jesus of Christianity, and is but
one of the many proofs that Allah, the false “god” of Islam, is obviously
not the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya`akov.
In fact, the Qur'an specifically declares that Allah is not the G-d of the
Bible. Out of respect to the G-d of the Bible, we have
changed all references to Allah on this page from “God” to “god.” All text
in this color type has been added or changed by Ari Levitt.
I. Jesus (A.S.) In Islam
Muslims do believe that
Isa (A.S.) was sent down as a Prophet of
Allah (god)[1], but
he (Jesus) is not G-d or Lord, nor the son of G-d.
Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by
Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he
was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time,
end all wars, and bring peace to the world. Like Jesus (A.S.),
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is also a Prophet and Messenger. Muhammed (P.B.U.H.)
is the last Prophet, though, and there is none after him.
Hence, Islam is the last religion, complete, with the Holy
Qur'an as the unchanged and perfect
word of G-d for over 1400 years, as G-d promised
to preserve it till the last day for all of humankind, unlike sacred texts
of other religions which have multiple versions and are "revised"
periodically.[2]
God, or Allah in Arabic, is Divine and
Supreme Being and Creator.
What the Holy Qur'an says about Jesus:
They slew him not, nor did
they crucify him but it was made dubious to them.
(Holy Qur'an, Surah Nisaa,
Verse 157)
Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) himself told of the
coming of Prophet Muhammad[3] (Peace be upon him). In the Bible,
Jesus (A.S.) says,
If you love me, Keep my commandments. And I
will pray to the Father
and He shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you
forever.
(Bible, John 14-15/16)
But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father,
even the spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify
of me, and he also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from
the beginning. (Bible, John 15-26/27)
I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
How be it when he, the spirit of Truth will come, he will guide you into
all
truth, for he shall speak not of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear,
that he shall speak, and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify
me, for he shall receive of mine, and he shall show it unto you.
(Bible, John 16-12/14)
Ulema (learned scholars in Islam) have said that the
person who is described by
Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) to come after him - in
the above verse - does not comply with any other person but Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
In this case, the "comforter" he mentions is none other
than Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his laws and way of life (Shariah) and Book (Holy
Qur'an) are those that Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) asks his followers to abide by.
The "person" whom Jesus (A.S.) prophecised [sic.] will
come after him, is called Pargaleeta[4] in the Bible. This word was deleted
by interpreters and translators and changed at times to "Spirit of
Truth" and at other times, to "comforter" and sometimes "Holy Spirit." The
original Greek and its meaning is "one whom people praise exceedingly."[4] The
sense of the word, then, is applicable to the word Muhammad in Arabic,
since Muhammad means "the praised one."[5]
Jesus (A.S.) also says in the Bible,
... and a little while and you shall not see
me;
and again a little while, you shall see me because
I go to the Father. (Bible, John 16:16)
... and the Holy Qur'an says,
And surely they slew him not. But Allah (god) raised him unto Himself.
(Holy Qur'an, Surah Nisaa, Verse 157-158)
As such, Muslims believe that Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) was
raised to heaven. According to Hadith, he is on the second heaven.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam=Peace be upon him)
mentioned, "During the Meraj (Ascension), I met Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) on the
second heaven. I found him of medium stature, reddish white. His body was
so clean and clear, that it appeared as though he had just performed
ghusal (ablution, cleansing of the entire body) and come." In another
Hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentioned to the Jews
that, " Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) is not dead, he will most surely return to you
before Qiyamat (the Day of Judgement)."
May Allah Guide all people to the Truth. Aameen.

II. Hadhrat Isa's (A.S.) Descension
The Physical Features of Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)
He will resemble the famous Sahabi (A.S.)
Hadhrat Urwa bin Masoodi (R.A.). He will be of average height and red and
white in colour. His hair spread to the shoulders, straight, neat and
shining as after a bath. On bending his head, it will seem as if pearls
are falling. He will have an armour on his body. He will be wearing two
pieces of cloth light yellow in color.
His Descension [sic.]
He will descend on a Jamaat (group) that
will be righteous at the time and comprising of 800 men and 400 women. The
people will be preparing for war at the time against
Dajjal (the
anti-Christ). It will be time for Fajr prayers, and
Imam Mahdi will be
the Amir (leader). From the darkness of the dawn, a sound will suddenly be
heard that "one who listens to your pleas has come" — the righteous people
will look everywhere and their eyes will fall on Isa (A.S.). Briefly, at
the time of Fajr, Isa (A.S.)
will descend. When descending, Isa (A.S.)'s hands will be on the shoulders
of two angels (according to another source [Kab Abrar], a cloud will carry
him). On their insistence Hadhrat Isa will introduce himself. He will
inquire about their enthusiasm and thoughts on Jihad against Dajjal. Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)
will descend on the eastern side near the Minaret in Damascus (or in Baitul-Muqaddus
by Imam Mahdi). At the time Imam Mahdi will have proceeded forward to lead
the Fajr
Salaat. The
Iqamat of the Salaat would have been
said (already recited) and Imam Mahdi will call Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) for
Imamat (to lead the prayer), but he (Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)) will instead tell
Imam Mahdi to lead the prayer since the Iqamat of that Salaat has already
been said for him. Thus Imam Mahdi will lead the prayer, and Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)
will follow him. After the ruku, he will make this statement: "Allah has
killed Dajjal and the Muslims have appeared."
The Killing of
Dajjal (anti-Christ) and the Victory of the Muslims
After the completion of Fajr Salaat (congregational
dawn prayers), Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will open the door behind him where
Dajjal accompanied by 70,000 Yahudis (Jews) will be. He will indicate with
his hand to move away between him (Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)) and Dajjal. Dajjal
will then see Hadhrat Isa (A.S.). At that time every Kafir on whom the breath of Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)
will reach, will die. His breath will reach up to the distance of his
eyesight. The Muslims will then come down from the mountains and break
loose on the army of Dajjal. There will be war, Dajjal will retreat, and
Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will pursue Dajjal. Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will have two
flexible swords and one shield with him and with these he will kill Dajjal
at the Gate of Hudd. He willl show the Muslims the blood of Dajjal which
will get on his shield. Eventually the Yahudis [the
Jews] will be selected and killed.[6] The swine [the
Jews] will be killed and the cross [the
Christians] broken. People will revert to Islam. Wars will end, and
people will return to their respective countries. One Jamaat (group) of
Muslims will remain in his service and companionship.
Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will go to Fajr Rawha and perform
Haj or Umrah (or both) from there. He will also go to the grave of
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and present his greetings and
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) will reply. People will live
comfortable lives. The wall of Yajooj and Majooj (Gog and Magog) will
then break.
III. The Blessings of Hadhrat Isa (Jesus) (A.S.)
1 Hadhrat Isa
(A.S.) will descend and stay on earth.
2 His
descension [sic.] will be in the last era of
the Ummat.
3 He will be a
just ruler and a fair judge.
4 His ummat
will be the Khalifa (deputies) of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
5 He will act
himself and instruct others on the Qur'an and Hadith (Shariat/Tradition of
Islam).
6 He will lead
people in Salaat (Prayer).
7 He will stay
on earth for a period of 40 years[7] after descending. The will be the best
era of the Ummat after the first era of Islam.
8 Allah will
protect his companions from Jahannam.
9 Those who
will save the Deen of Islam by associating themselves with Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)
will be amongst the most loved by Allah Ta'ala.
10 During this
period all other religions and mazhabs besides Islam will perish, hence
there will be no kuffaars (non-believers) in the world.
11 Jihad will
be stopped.
12 No Khiraaj
will be taken.
13 Nor Jizya
(protection tax) money from the kafirs (non-believers)
14 Wealth and
property will be in surplus to such an extent that there will be no one to
accept the wealth of the other (everyone will be independent).
15 Receiving
Zakaat (Alms-giving, Charity to poor) and Saadaqa will be discarded (as
there will be no poor to receive them!).
16 The people
will love the sajda (prostration to [Allah])
more than the world and what it consists of.
17 All types
of Deeni (religious) and worldly blessings will descend on earth (many
halaal (lawful) things will be created).
18 There will
be peace, harmony and tranquility during the time of Hadhrat Isa (A.S.)'s
stay in the world.
19 There will
be no animosity for a period of seven years, even between two persons.
20 All hearts
will be free from miserliness, envy, hatred, malice and jealousy.
21 For a
period of forty years no one will fall ill or die.
22 Venom will
be taken out of all venomous animals.
23 Snakes and
scorpions will not harm anyone to the extent that if a child put his hand
in its mouth, he will not be harmed.
24 Will [sic.]
animals will not harm anyone.
25 If a man
will pass a lion, he will not be troubled or harmed, or even if any girl
will open its mouth to test if it will do anything.
26 The camels
will graze among lions, cheetahs with cattle and the jackals with goats.
27 The
fertility of the land will increase to such an extent that even if a seed
is planted in a hard rock, it will sprout.
28 A
pomegranate will be so huge that a jamaat will be able to eat it and the
people will use its peel as shade.
29 There will
be so much barakaat (blessing) in milk that a camel will suffice for a
huge jamaat, a cow for a tribe and a goat for a family.
30 In short,
life will be most pleasant after the descension
[sic.] of Jesus (A.S.) [and the elimination
of all Jews and Christians].
His Marriage, Death and Deputies
After his descension [sic.] on earth,
Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will marry. He will have children, and he will remain
on earth 19 years after marriage. He will pass away[8] and
Muslims will perform his Janaza Salaat and bury him next to Rasulullah (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wasallam). (Tirmidhi)

Notes:
[by Ari Levitt]
1. The name Allah is almost always either translated or
explained as meaning “god”—do not be deceived. Allah is only one of
thousands of jinni, or
desert demons, that were worshipped by the sons of Ishmael before Mohammed
rose to power. Allah is most definitely not the G-d of
Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya`akov (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). Allah may well
in fact be Satan himself. [Return]
2. Obviously, every time
anything—either written or spoken—is translated into any other language,
it becomes a different “version” or “revision.” It is therefore likewise
patently obvious that, contrary to the author’s claim, the “Holy Qur’an”
has multiple “versions” and is “revised” periodically. In fact, there are
a number of different versions of the Qur’an available on the Internet.
Search Google.com for
Qur'an,
Quran, and
Koran. [Return]
3. The second chapter of the Book of
Acts makes it unmistakably clear that the Comforter and Spirit of Truth of
Whom Yeshua (Jesus) was speaking is Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit), not
Mohammed. [Return]
4. The word to
which the author is referring is
paraklhtoß (Parakletos), not “Pargaleeta”
— it was most certainly not “deleted by interpreters and
translators” — the term appears five times in the Greek New Testament, and
is in fact essential to our correct understanding of the Biblical doctrine
of Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit. Parakletos cannot possibly be
translated as “one whom people praise exceedingly.” It is formed from two
Greek words para (beside) and kaleo (to call) and means
literally “one who is called alongside another” — it was used in Greek
jurisprudence to mean one's advocate or lawyer.

5. This blatant fabrication [concerning
the Greek word paraklhtoß] is
typical of Islam. One can not read or listen to any discussion about
Israel or Jerusalem without hearing the official Islamic position that,
contrary to the testimony of both history and archaeology, Israel was
never the Jewish homeland, Jerusalem was never the capital, and neither of
the two Temples ever existed. Yeshua said: “You are of your father the
devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no
truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for
he is a liar and the father of lies.” [lit. the Lie
Gen. 3:4-5]. (John 8:44
NASB) We believe this “personality trait” of Islam is evidence to help
support the idea that Allah is actually Satan himself. [Return]
6. Thus we see that according to
Islamic theology, Yeshua HaMashiach, Israel’s Messiah, the King of the
Jews, will return in glory and great power to slay all the Jews! [Return]
7. The Bible teaches that Yeshua will
reign on earth for 1,000 years, not 40 years. “Blessed and holy is the one
who has a part in the first resurrection ; over these the second death has
no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign
with Him for a thousand years. ” (Rev. 20:6
NASB) [Return]
8. Since Yeshua HaMashiach is HaShem,
the King of kings and LORD of lords, he cannot die, but will rein over the
new heaven and new earth forever. “Then he showed me a river of the water
of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb,
in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of
life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and
the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no
longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it,
and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name
will be on their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and
they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun,
because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and
ever.” (Rev
22:1-5 NASB) [Return]
