Great Misconception of JESUS’s (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) Return
by Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) Came as a Miracle and He (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) Gone as a Miracle
Around
1.8
Billion Muslims are REAL followers of Jesus / Issa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him),
believing on him as Prophet, Messenger of Allah and clearing all
misconceptions like son of god, born as a case of rape what Jews blame
on him, etc. There is NO Doubt
that Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be coming again to this
earth, which may be another Miracle before the end of this world to
kill DAJJAAL, according to REALLY Authentic Hadeeth, acknowledge by
many Great Scholars till today, who are of course NOT Allah (GOD). BUT
nowhere in the Quraan is mentioned, although some people try to
enforce this concept by doing wrong translation. The main problem is
that many people still don’t know How to Understand the Quraan, and
they BLINDLY believe on Scholars.
Timing Analysis of the Second Coming of Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) in the Bible:Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will Return according to the Bible:Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of
the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory", (Mat. 24:29-30).
Let us Analyze it from the Quraan:According
the Quraan, on the day of Judgment / day of resurrection, the Moon and
the Stars will be darkened and the Sun and the Moon will be joined
together etc.
He
asks: When is the day of resurrection ? But when sight is confounded,
And the moon becomes dark, And the sun and the moon are brought
together, Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to? By no means!
there shall be no place of refuge, (Al_Quraan_075.006-011).
AlsoThe angels will be all around, and eight angles will, that Day, bear the Thorne of your Lord above them, (Al_Quraan_069.017).
Not only Jesus BUT all the Prophets will be gathered at their appointed times.So
when the stars are made to lose their light, And when the heaven is
rent asunder, And when the mountains are carried away as dust, And when
the messengers are gathered at their appointed time, To what day is the
doom fixed? To the day of decision, (Al_Quraan_077.008-013).
O' Muslim be not like those who divide their religion and breakup into sects.And
(O' Muslims) be not like those who became divided and disagreed after
clear arguments had come to them, and these it is that shall have a
grievous chastisement. On the day when (some) faces shall turn white
and (some) faces shall turn black; then as to those whose faces turn
black: Did you disbelieve after your believing? Taste therefore the
chastisement because you disbelieved, (Al_Quraan_003.105-106).
Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be questioned exactly like all other prophets:And
when Allah will say (on the Day of Judgment): O Isa son of Marium! did
you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he
will say: Glory be to Thee, it did not befit me that I should say what
I had no right to (say); if I had said it, You would indeed have known
it; You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in Your
mind, surely You art the great Knower of the unseen things. I did not
say to them aught save what You did enjoin me with: That serve Allah,
my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness of them so long as I was
among them, but when You took me, You were the watcher over them, and
Thou art witness of all things, (Al_Quraan_005_116 – 117).
Even Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be saying the same thing:Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Quraan for just foolish nonsense", (Al_Quraan_025.030).
Also All Prophets (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be saying the same thing:One
day will Allah gather the messengers together, and ask: "What was the
response you received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say: "We
have no knowledge: it is You Who know in full all that is hidden",
(Al_Quraan_005.109).
Advise to the Scholars, Writers, and Speakers etc.:Be
careful in trying to explain the Ayaat of Quraan. Don't try to mislead
the people by doing wrong translations or give wrong concepts against
the Quraan. This is not a joke. We are all learning from each other and
are students of the Quraan. Please don't
use abuse words for others like
IGNORANT etc., and you must respect
others. You must learn How to do Effective Communication.
When Allah says, "
it is easy to understand", don't force the people to believe that it is difficult.
When Allah says "
AFTER", don't force the people to accept it as before.
When Allah says "
ON the Day of Resurrection", don't force the people to accept it as before.
When Allah says "
ON the Day of Judgment", don't force the people to accept it as Grave, etc.
When Allah says "
Paradise (in Arabic “JANNAH”)", don't force the people to accept it as Grave, etc.
When Allah says "
Hell (in Arabic “NAAR”)", don't force the people that it as Grave, etc.
Also don't apply any
exceptional rules over
general rules, for example the people who are killed on the way of Allah during the war are not dead, BUT not the general public.
You must know "
How to Understand the Quraan".
http://www.global-right-path.com/Ummah-Reformer/MR_Quraan_Understanding.htmAdvise to the Readers, listeners etc.:Great
Thanks to our Scholars (Ulemaa), who have worked extremely hard to keep
Islaam ALIVE and to keep us Muslims by providing Beautiful knowledge of
Islaam. BUT Scholars are NOT Allah and they might do mistakes.
You
MUST always check in the Quraan and don't BLINDLY trust on Scholars,
Writers, and Speakers etc. They are human being and may have made
mistakes. Otherwise you may fall into the category of making the
scholars your God. Be careful. Check the topic in the Quraan, what
Allah is saying about, check the TRUE meaning of it. If you find any
error in Scholars, Writers, Speakers etc., you must acknowledge them by
telling the Scholars, Writers, Speakers etc., otherwise the misleading
may go on and on and also you might be put into the category of
supporters to them who have done wrong translation and Allah may punish
you as well. So, don’t sit quietly and rise up to correct any
misconception, it is also a Great Jihaad and you will get a Great
Reward for it, Inshaa Allah.
The
main reason why we don’t understand the concept and the meaning of
Quraan could be as mentioned in the Quraan as, “ … And yet you study
the Scripture? Will you not understand?” (Al_Quraan_002.044).
You must also know "
How to Understand the Quraan".
http://www.global-right-path.com/Ummah-Reformer/MR_Quraan_Understanding.htmSome one's Death could be very SECRET (e.g. Solomon {Peace-Be-Upon-Him}), it was secret till worm ate his staff:Then
when We decreed that he [Solomon {Peace-Be-Upon-Him}] should die
[mawt], nothing divulged his death [mawtihi] to them except the worm
that ate his staff. (Al_Quraan_034.014)
Allah has Perfected Islaam, No more Miracle:In the Quraan Allah has told us that “… This day I have
PERFECTED your Religion for you and
COMPLETED My
FAVOR unto you, and have chosen for you as religion
AL-ISLAAM”, (Al_Quraan_005.003).
If
anything is completed, does it NEED any Additions or Subtractions or
Alterations? The absolute answer to this is only and only NO. Therefore
any Hadeeth contradicting the Quraan, we are not supposed to accept and
those are NOT Authentic Hadeeth. Since Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
already warned about the spreading of Hadeeth and how to verify them.
So We all must have to follow that and a single proof should be enough
for this that there are some Poor Hadeeth and we need to test all of
them according to the Quraan.
The Quraan is the real Authentic Source, FREE from and ERROR or CONTRADICTION.
Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) said, there is
NO DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So
you MUST test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN.
If it is really according to the QURAAN only then accept it otherwise
reject it, (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba
Farooqi – 513).
Below are some examples, which could help you to raise questions from the Scholars, Writers and Speakers etc.:Ref# 1:Muslims
believe that Jesus alaysalam, the Prophet and Messiah, is alive and
will return to the Earth in the near future. The Quraanic verse
CLEARLY
says that Jesus-alaysalam was not crucified, nor was he killed, but
that Almighty Allah raised him to heaven (he was not killed, but taken
from the earth by Almighty Allah).
Muslims
believe that Jesus-alaysalam is still alive in heaven and will come at
the end of time, according to the religion of Islam. Together with the
Muslim Messiah he will fight against the anti-Christ and kill him.
Answer# 1:Nowhere
in the Quraan does it
CLEARLY say about the second coming of Jesus
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him). There are TWO groups of Muslims in believing on
Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), so don't under estimate.
Ref# 2:That
they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the
Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but
so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full
of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow,
for of a surety they killed him not, (Al_Quraan_004.157).
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise, (Al_Quraan_004.158).
Behold!
Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and
clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make
those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of
Resurrection: Then shall you all return unto me, and I will judge
between you of the matters wherein you dispute, (Al_Quraan_003.055).
Answer# 2:Here
Allah is talking to Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) in the past when Jesus
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was present in the world, about the Future, i.e.
Take Thee (already happened), Raise Thee (already happened), Clear Thee
(Muslims already CLEARING all misconception about Jesus
{Peace-Be-Upon-Him}). On the Day of Judgment we all return to Him. We
can see at present, Jews are not superior to Christens or Muslims other
than that they are misusing Christens. They are in very less population.
Remember,
here Clear Thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme, does not
mean that Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will return to this world again.
Around
1.8 Billion Muslims are
REAL followers of Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), believing on him as
Prophet, Messenger of Allah and clearing all misconceptions like son of
god, born as a case of rape what Jews blame on him, etc. Islaam is the
fastest growing religion in the whole world and it is still growing and
clearing any misconception according to the time.
“They
killed him not, nor crucified him”, does not mean that Jesus / Isaa
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will come again to this world again."I
will make those follow thee superior to those who reject faith", may be
thought as right now the Christens are dominating the world and not the
Jews in population vise. BUT remember at the time when Jesus
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was present in this world, Christens were believing
on Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) as Messenger of Allah, Messiah and a
Prophet and not like present thought of Christens. Another thought may
be taken as Islaam is the fastest growing religion and may be in future
Islaam will dominate the world very soon, Inshaa Allah. Every Muslim
believes on Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) as a Prophet, Messenger of Allah
and free from any falsehood. Actually Islaam is clearing all
misconception about Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and accepting him as
Prophet, born metrically without any father. Allah knows the best.
There
is NO Doubt that they didn’t kill Jesus (Peace-Be-Upon-Him).
Here Allah
is saying about the Day of Resurrection NOT before, Allah will judge on
all those matters we dispute, THEN Why are you forcing us to believe on
BEFORE, WHY?????
Ref# 3:And
(Jesus) shall be (in the Future not in the past on the Day of Judgment)
a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (
on the Day of Judgment, NOT
Before): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow you Me:
this is a Straight Way, (Al_Quraan_043.061).
Answer# 3:Shall
be a (in Future) Sign of the Hour means the Day of Judgment. Here also
Allah is saying about
the Hour on the Day of Judgment NOT Before, Jesus
will be Sign, THEN Why are you forcing us to believe on BEFORE, WHY?????
Ref# 4:"So
peace is on me the day I was born (free from falsehood) (already
happened), the day that I die (already happened), and the day that I
shall be raised up to life (again on the day of Judgment)", (Al_Quraan_019.033).
Answer# 4:"So
peace is on me the day I was born": Here Allah may want to say that he
was born as a miracle and free from all falsehood, what Jews were
blaming on him.
"the day that I shall be raised up to life":
Every person will be raised to the life again, second time on the Day of Judgment.
Ref# 5:And there is none (NOT a single one) of the People of the Book (including
1.8 Billion Muslims) but must believe in him (as only a Messenger of Allah) before his (Jesus Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death (around
1.8
Billion Muslims believe on him as a Prophet, Messenger of Allah and
free from any falsehood or misconception, what Christens or Jews blamed
on him); and on the Day of Judgment (
NOT Before) he (Jesus
Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be a witness against them, (Al_Quraan_004.159).
Answer# 5:Here Allah is again talking about
the Day of Judgment and NOT before, THEN Why are you forcing us to believe on BEFORE, WHY?????
Hadeeth is a different issue, I don't want to discuss it here in detail BUT I would like your answers.Who compiled the Quraan, is it Usmaan (RA), THEN why didn't he compiled Hadeeth?????Why
Usmaan (RA) compiled the Quraan? Is it because of several HUFFAAZ
Sahabaas were killed in the war, so they FEAR that people may LOSE the
Quraan. So it is necessary to protect the Quraan by binding it
into a book, BUT why didn't they care about Hadeeth, Why????
Since All the Sahabaas didn’t give PRIORITY to the Hadeeth over the Quraan, THEN Why you are forcing us to do so, WHY????
The main reason why we don’t understand the concept and the meaning of the Quraan could be as mentioned in the Quraan as, “ …
And yet you study the Scripture? Will you not understand”, (Al_Quraan_002.044)?
To understand about Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) Dead or Alive we need to do analysis of the Ayaat below:There is none (
NOT a single one) of the People of the book (including
1.8
Billion Muslims) but must believe in him (as only a Messenger of Allah)
before his (Jesus Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death. And on the Day of
Resurrection (
NOT Before), he (Jesus Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be a witness against them", (Al_Quraan_004.159).
First Proof:The
first proof that Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) is NOT Alive is this
Ayaat itself, since it says that “on the Day of Resurrection (
NOT
Before), he (Jesus Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be a witness against them”,
if Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) comes second time in this world
then he will be witness in the world before the Day of Resurrection,
which cannot be true according to the above mentioned Ayaat. The
concept of Quraan cannot be wrong, BUT our pre-assumptions and our
beliefs could be wrong.
Second Proof:For the second proof, we need to understand the meaning of the
People of the Book (Scripture).
Jews are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Torah, which is one of the Books of Allah.
Christians are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Injeel (Bible), which is one of the Books of Allah.
Similarly Muslims are the People of the Book, since they believe on the Quraan, which is also one of the Books of Allah.
This
is also another proof that Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) is not
Alive, since in the above Ayaat it is mentioned that “none (not a
single one) of the People of the book (including
1.8
Billion Muslims) but must believe in him (as only a Messenger of Allah)
before his (Jesus Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death“, and Alhamdulillaah, around
1.8 Billion Muslims around the world believe on Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) as Messenger of Allah.
Third Proof:For
the third proof, Allah said that he will take away Jesus / Isaa
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and no where he mentioned that he will send back
Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) again for the second time, instead
Allah mentioned that whatever we are arguing about him
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him), He will tell us on the day of Judgment and
NOT before.
Behold
Allah said: O Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) I will take thee and
raise thee to myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who
blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who
reject Faith, to the day of resurrection (
not before): then shall you all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein you dispute, (Al_Quraan_003.055).
Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be questioned exactly like all other prophets:And
when Allah will say (on the Day of Judgment): O Isa son of Marium! did
you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he
will say: Glory be to Thee, it did not befit me that I should say what
I had no right to (say); if I had said it, You would indeed have known
it; You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in Your
mind, surely You art the great Knower of the unseen things. I did not
say to them aught save what You did enjoin me with: That serve Allah,
my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness of them so long as I was
among them, but when You took me, You were the watcher over them, and
Thou art witness of all things, (Al_Quraan_005_116 – 117).
Even Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be saying the same thing:Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Quraan for just foolish nonsense", (Al_Quraan_025.030).
Also All Prophets (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will be saying the same thing:One
day will Allah gather the messengers together, and ask: "What was the
response you received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say: "We
have no knowledge: it is You Who know in full all that is hidden",
(Al_Quraan_005.109).
Knowledge of Future is with Allah only: Messenger did not know when & where he would die:Then, when We decreed (Solomon’s Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death,
nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth,
which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down,
the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would Not
have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task),
(Al_Quraan_034.014).
Verily
the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (Alone). It is He Who knows
rain, and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does anyone
(including Messengers) know what it is that he will earn on tomorrow:
nor does anyone (including Messengers) know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things), (Al_Quraan_031.034).
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: say,
The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone): and what will make thee understand? Perchance the Hour is nigh, (Al_Quraan_033.063).
Say
(O Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), to the disbelievers): I say not unto
you (that) I possess the treasures of Allah, nor that I have knowledge
of the Unseen; and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an angel. I follow only
that which is inspired in me. Say: Are the blind man and the seer
equal?
Will you not then take thought, [Al_Quraan_006.050]?
Say (O Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him): I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah wills.
If I had knowledge of the Unseen, I should have multiplied all good
and no evil should have touched me: I am but a Warner, and a bringer of
glad tidings to those who have Faith, [Al_Quraan_007.188].
He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are
clear revelations, they are the
basis or fundamental (foundation) of the Book,
and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is
perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to
mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. But none
knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted
in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none
do mind except those having understanding, (Al_Quraan_003.007).
Gog (Yajooj) and Magog (Majooj) coming out of the Barrier:They
said: O Zulqarnain! Surely Gog and Magog make mischief in the land.
Shall we then pay you a tribute on condition that you should raise a
barrier between us and them. He said: That in which my Lord has
established me is better, therefore you only help me with workers, I
will make a fortified barrier between you and them; Bring me blocks of
iron; until when he had filled up the space between the two mountain
sides, he said: Blow, until when he had made it (as) fire, he said:
Bring me molten brass which I may pour over it. So they were not able
to scale it nor could they make a hole in it. He said: This is a mercy
from my Lord, but
when the promise of my Lord comes to pass He will make it level with the ground, and the promise of my Lord is ever true, (Al_Quraan_018.094-098).
Here the question rises that: Are coming of Imaam Mahdee, Dajjaal and Second Coming Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) more important than the Gog and Magog?
Coming out of the Barrier by Gog and Magog are clearly mentioned in the
Quraan while Imaam Mahdee, Dajjaal and Second Coming Jesus / Isaa
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) are not mentioned clearly and we are not supposed
to go behind the Allegorical Ayaat, Ayaat which are not clear.
That
they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the
Messenger of Allah"; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so
it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of
doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for
of a surety they killed him not, (Al_Quraan_004.157).
“
They killed him not, nor crucified him”, does not mean that Jesus / Isaa (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) will come to this world again.
Behold!
Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and
clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make
those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of
Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge
between you of the matters wherein ye dispute, (Al_Quraan_003.055).
Here Allah is saying about the
Day of Resurrection NOT before, Allah will judge on the matters we dispute, So
we should not waste our time in the dispute matters, instead we should obey the Clear Ayaat of the Quraan.
