Esa Ibn Maryam (salallahu 3alayhee wa selaam) and Al Hawareeyoun (RA) were muslims and they lived and faught to keep Islam alive alhamdulillah. Roosul Esa (sallahu alayhee wa selaam) is near and dear to us like all the Prophets (sallahu alayhoum wa selaam) of Allah(swt). We accept all of them from Adam (as) to Muhammad(saw). The main difference is we dont believe Esa(sallahu alayhee wa selaam) was killed and nailed to a cross. The account as is told by Allah(swt) in the Qur'an is as follows :
وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلاَّ اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا
[4:157]
'That they said (in boast), "We killed Al-Masih 'Isa the son of Maryam, 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.'
بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
[4:158]
'Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.'
Al Roosulullah (salallahu also said of Esa (salallahu alayhee wa selaam):
Allah's Apostle said, "You will be resurrected (and assembled) bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised." The Prophet then recited the Divine Verse: "As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it: A promise We have undertaken. Truly we shall do it." (21.104)
He added, "The first to be dressed will be Abraham. Then some of my companions will take to the right and to the left. I will say: 'My companions!' It will be said, 'They had been renegades since you left them.' I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus, the son of Mary said: 'And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if you forgive them, You, only You are the All-Mighty the All-Wise.' " (5.117-118) Narrated by Quaggas (ra) "Those were the apostates who renegade from Islam during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr who fought them".
-Hadith - Bukhari 4.656, Narrated Ibn Abbas, r.a.-
InshaAllah this settles the comtinuing misunderstanding of the position of Esa (sallahu alayhee wa selaam) in Islam and with muslims.
أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا لَّهُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ
"Onlar namazlarını dosdoğru kılan ve kendilerine rızık olarak verdiğimizden [Allah yolunda] harcayan kimselerdir".8:3 |
