About Jesus Christ in Islam

Taken from - Jesus (Isa) A.S. in Islam, and his Second Coming (http://www.islam.tc/prophecies/jesus.html) by Mufti A.H. Elias

Muslims do believe that JESUS (A.S.) was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. 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 God for over 1400 years, as God promised to preserve it till the last day for all of humankind, unlike sacred texts of other religions which have mulitple versions and are "revised" periodically. 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 (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 will come after him, is called Pargaleeta 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." The sense of the word, then, is applicable to the word Muhammad in Arabic, since Muhammad means "the praised one."

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)."

Minor Signs of Last Day (part 2)

Taken off: (http://www.islaam.org/Al_Mahdi/minor_signs.htm)

Hadhrat Abu Musa Ash'ari radhiyallahu anhu narrates that Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "Qiyamah will come...

1. When untrustworthy people will be regarded as trustworthy and the trustworthy will be regarded as untrustworthy.
2. When it will be hot in winter (and vice versa).
3. When the length of days is stretched, i.e. a journey of a few days is covered in a matter of hours.
4. When orators and lecturers lie openly.
5. When people dispute over petty issues.
6. When women with children come displeased on account of them bearing offspring, and barren women remain happy on account of having no responsibility of offspring.
7. When oppression, jealousy, and greed become the order of the day.
8. When people blatantly follow their passions and whims.
9. When lies prevail over the truth.
10. When violence, bloodshed and anarchy become common.

13. When the offspring become a cause of grief and anger (for their parents).

Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood radhiyallahu anhu when he inquired from Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam about the Signs of Qiyamah

1. People will indulge in homosexuality.
2. There will be an abundance of illegitimate children.
3. There will be an abundance of critics, tale-carriers, back- biters and taunters in society.
4. People will establish ties with strangers and sever relations with their near and dear ones.
5. Hypocrites will be in control of the affairs of the community and evil, immoral people will be at the helm of business establishments.
6. The Masjid will be decorated, but the hearts of the people will be devoid of guidance.
7. The courtyards of Masjids will be built beautifully and high mimbars (pulpits) will be erected.
8. Gangsters and evil people will prevail.
9. Various wines will be consumed excessively.

Auf bin Malik radhiyallahu anhu says: I came to Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition. He said to me, "Count six things before the advent of Qiyamah:

1. The conquest of Jerusalem (after ww1, was the dajjal in england then? when england was almost defeated by germans, the jews brought US into the war and defeated the germans, for that they demanded Isreal that British had)
   
2. Mass deaths amongst you people, just as when sheep die in large numbers during an epidemic
3. Abundance of wealth to such an extent that if a person were to be given a hundred Dinars he will still not be satisfied. (how the arab countries discovered oil and now are rich, e.g Kuwait)
   
4. General anarchy and bloodshed, that no Arab household will be spared from it. (in palastine, iraq, afgan, ..)
   
5. Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you and the Banil Asfaar
6. (Romans) which they will break and attack you with a force consisting of eighty flags and under each flag will be an army of twelve thousand men." (US attack on Iraq, Afganistan, ....)

Jabir bin Abdullah said: 'Soon the people of IRAQ will neither receive any food (grain) nor any money.'" We asked, "Why would such a thing happen?" He replied, "Because of the non-Arabs." (i.e they will prevent food from going into Iraq, in the form of "sanctions" to this day.) He then said: "Soon the people of Shaam (SYRIA) will neither receive any money nor grain." We asked as to why this would happen. He replied: "Because of the Romans (christians)."

Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said, "Islam will spread far and wide, across the seas. Horses will cross the land and seas in the cause of Jihaad. Then a time will come wherein a group of people will emerge which recites the Quraan. They will claim, "We have recited the Quraan and is there anyone who understands the Quraan better than us? There is NO ONE more proficient than us in the study of the Quraan."

Then Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam asked the Sahaba, "Do you see any good in their claims?" The Sahaba replied, "No". Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "But these conceited claimants will be from my Ummah and will be the fuel of the Fire."
