Default Why Jesus and not Muhammad(pbut) - 07-09-2009

Following a discussion with my Christian neighbour I would like to know if there is any explanation as to why Jesus is coming back rather than Muhammad (pbuh). The guy talks for 80 pc of the time and usually contradicts himself, when he does listen he then replies and usually contradicts further, however he raised a good point that I had no answer for. If Muhammad (pbuh) was the last prophet, why is it Jesus (pbuh) that will return ? Whilst I am sure there is a good reason for it I dont know what it is. So please before this thread descends into a mind numbing and tedious debate that actually serves no purpose, would the members of this forum please allow my question to be answered first, thanks in advance

Muhammed (pbuh) is the final Prophet with God's chosen religion-
Islam . Jesus (as ) won't come back as a new Prophet . He will preach Islam , offer salat with Muslims.

While discussing about the Prophets (pbut) , pl. tell non-Muslims that we respect all the Prophets , not only Muhammed (pbut). It does not matter who is the first one or last one or was in the middle of the list , all are God's chosen Prophet and Muslims respect them all.

thanks for the speedy replies, already discussed prophets and believe I am better armed for the discussions as was christian some time ago, I constantly strive to further my knowledge and my neaighbour has come to realise my faith is unshakeable, I can usually answer him well and if I dont know something I say so. The point he raised is a good one, even tho it was born of him doubting Muhammads(pbuh) credentials as a prophet becuase "he killed ppl in wars", steering toward Jihad here but I totally defended Rasulullah (pbuh). If there is any further info on this subject I would dearly love to hear guidance. Peace

Jesus in Islam

By Reading Islam Team


How do Muslims view Jesus? Was Jesus crucified? Will Jesus come back? Find out the answers to these and more questions on the issue...
The Muslim Jesus

On the occasion of Easter, Reading Islam invites you to watch the movie (Jesus in Islam) which narrates the story of the life of Prophet Jesus according to the Muslim belief.


Jesus Crucifixion in the Bible: Joy or Sorrow?
The tragic loss of Jesus Christ due to his painful crucifixion according to the New Testament left his disciples suffering from sadness and sorrow to an extent that they needed a comforter. Could this comforter be Prophet Muhammad?

Mary's Story and the Birth of Jesus
The story starts with Mary, who was blessed as a child with God’s protection. Mary was born to the pious household of Aal `Imran, or the family of `Imran. More Q & A About Jesus:
Is Jesus the Incarnation of God?
Understanding Allah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit
The Proper Understanding of Jesus's Life
Did Prophet Jesus Marry?
The Language of Jesus
Is Jesus Dead or Alive?
The Meaning of "Messiah"

Jesus Between Islam and Christianity
Muslims Following Jesus
A Brother for Jesus?
Is Jesus God?
Is Jesus Superior to Muhammad?
In relating the story of Jesus, the Qur'an describes how Mary, the mother of Jesus, was approached by an angel from God, bringing her tidings she had never imagined.
Jesus Through a Muslim Lens
The Muslim Jesus



In this article, Michael Wolfe, a filmmaker and author of books of poetry, fiction, travel, and history, argues that the shared interest of both Christians and Muslims in Jesus of Nazareth and his message goes much further than a belief in his miracles.
Was Jesus Crucified? (Q&A)
Muslims reject the idea that an innocent Son of God—or God Himself— had to die on the cross to save sinners from punishment.
Will Jesus Come Back?
When Jesus comes, everyone may not be able to recognize him; but those who are very close to him will recognize him through their belief.
Jesus is considered one of five great prophets sent by God to man. He is worthy of the utmost honor and respect as a prophet of God to the Children of Israel. He was neither an incarnation of God nor God’s son, and he never claimed to be.
In Defense of Mary the Virgin (Commentary)
As a Muslim, I am a passionate defender of the virgin birth of Christ, and all Muslims should be so, Mustafa Aykol writes. Why? Because this is one of the very important themes in the Qur’an.


Too tired to read? Listen to Dr. Jamal Badawi's talks:

Jesus in Islam — VII: The Second Coming of Jesus (1)
Jesus in Islam — VIII: The Second Coming of Jesus (2)

I didn't read every post so forgive me if I am repeating something that has already been written.

Jesus (p) didn't die, yet he is human.. and each soul shall have a taste of death, also he is a sign of the end, as in signaling the hour..

Other than the reasons given above, according to the talks and seminars I've seen or heard his return's basic reason will be the restoring of the actual faith. You see, he's the only Prophet whose followers believed that he claimed Divinity (i.e. He's God/son of God) and when he will return his main aim will be to refute this claim and bring all the people to the true faith of Monotheism.
Other reasons include that he'll come to kill the Dajjaal/AntiChrist, pray against Yajuj & Majuj/Gog & Magog etc

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) climbed up Uhud, accompanied by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan, and the mountain shook with them. He struck it with his foot and said: “Stand firm, O Uhud, for there is no one on you but a Prophet or a Siddeeq or two martyrs.”

Try clicking this link insha'Allah because it explains all logical reasoning in an Islamic perspective on Prophet Isa(AS) second return to this test called Earth. After reading this you will fully understand the concept of why he is coming back down,to tell you something he is not coming only for one thing but several reasonings explained in this article you have to read in your spare time brother Tony and then you will be able to speak back and explain to that person insha'Allah: http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename

Brother Tony you have a typo on the threads name saying (PBUT) when it should be (PBUH) can a moderator please fix that insha'Allah.

This is an interesting thread.
I have followed some of the links, but I find that they focus very much on Jesus' humanity and on demonstrating that he is not divine. That's understandable, given that this is one of the crucial differences between Islam and Christianity.

But my question takes me back to the one Tony's friend asked originally:

Why is Jesus the one who will return to earth?
To be as a Christian it seems like a very special privilege, and one I might expect to be bestowed to Muhammed as the final and most revered prophet ...

The answer may simply be because God wills it ... but it is an interesting question nonetheless (Well, I thought so! )

Does anybody have any thoughts or views with regards to this specific question?

Thank you, naidamar

I have had another look. The only answers I found in direct relation to my question 'Why Jesus, and not Muhammed?' seem to be these:

Is that the only reason, or have I missed anything?

Glo in the posts above it has been already mentioned what things prophet Jesus is supposed to fulfil, other than that our knowledge is limited to why Allah has chosen to descend prophet Jesus and not Muhammad, that is purely Allahs will and we are nobody to question why Allah has chosen so, so Allah knows best

In the end times, the Prophet Isa As will descend and kill the anti-christ. He will be a follower of Islam. The religion that Muhammad (saw) came with. He won't be bringing any new religion.
Thank you, Alpha Dude. I think I have received the answer to my question why - according to Islam - Jesus will return and not Muhammed:
  • Because Jesus has not yet died, and all have to taste death
  • Because God wills it and God known best

That sounds fine to me, and has answered my question. Thank you all!
