OUR PROPHET
(SAAS) GAVE THE GLAD TIDINGS OF JESUS' RETURN
There are many hadiths of our Prophet (saas)
that refer to the second coming of Jesus(as) to the world.
The Islamic scholar Shevkani said that there are 29 hadiths
about 'Jesus' (as) return and that the information contained
in these hadiths cannot be mistaken. (Sunen-i Ibn-i Mace,
10/338) Some of them are as follows:
| 
|
| "By Him
in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Maryam
(as) (Isa) (as) will shortly descend amongst
you people (Muslims) as a just ruler. "
(Bukhari)
"The
Hour will not be established until the son
of Maryam (as) (i.e. 'Isa) (as) descends
amongst you as a just ruler.
(Bukhari) |

Our Prophet tells what Jesus(as) will do when he
returns:
|
|
| Isa
(as), son of Maryam (as), will descend,
rule for 40 years with the book of Allah
and my sunnah, and die.
(The End Times, Signs of Mahdi of the End
Times, p.92)
Isa (as),
son of Maryam (as), will be a just judge
and just priest (in my community), break
and crush the cross and kill the pig ...
He will fill the world with peace like a
bowl of water. There will be unity of religion,
and nothing other than Allah will be worshipped.
(Sünen-i Ibn-i Mace, 10/334)
"Isa
(as) will break the cross, kill the pigs,
and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be
in abundance so that nobody will accept
it (as charitable gifts).
(Bukhari ) |

So it can be understood that, when Jesus(as) returns,
errant doctrines such as that of the Trinity, the cross and
the professional clergy and forbidden actions such as eating
pork will be removed and the Christian world will be saved
from its heretical state and all people will be called to
live according to the true religion and moral values contained
in the Qur'an.
At this stage, there is an important point we must
stop and consider. In the Qur'an and in the hadiths there
is no doubt that Jesus(as) will return to earth in the End
Times. On the other hand, today some Muslims disregard the
evident proofs regarding this return and suggest that it is
possible that Jesus(as) will return after Muhammad (saas)
comes. Muslims who think such a thing should interpret the
relevant verses and hadiths dispassionately or without prejudice.
And secondly, there is no contradiction between the fact that
Muhammad (saas) is the last Prophet (saas) and that Jesus(as)
will return to earth. When Jesus(as) comes for the second
time, he will not bring a new religion but will be subject
to the true religion communicated by the Qur'an and our Prophet
Muhammad (saas).
