The belief in Imaam Mehdi has been transmitted through mutawatir teachings. It is firmly rooted in the muslim community since the salaf (pious predecessors), and it is inconceivable that the salaf would unite on a deviation.

Question:


Is the hadith about the coming of Mehdi Saheeh?
Because I was told by a friend of mine, that it's not and it's a weak hadith.


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

There are saheeh ahaadeeth that indicate that the Mahdi (peace be upon him) will appear at the end of time. He is one of the signs of the Hour. Among these ahaadeeth are the following:

1. Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "At the end of the time of my ummah, the Mahdi will appear. Allaah will grant him rain, the earth will bring forth its fruits, he will give a lot of money, cattle will increase and the ummah will become great. He will rule for seven or eight years. (Mustadrak al-Haakim, 4/557-558; he said: this is a hadeeth whose isnaad is saheeh, although it was not reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. Al-Dhahabi agreed with him, and al-Albaani said: this is a saheeh sanad, and its men are thiqaat (trustworthy), Silsilat al-ahaadeeth al-saheehah, vol. 2, p. 336, hadeeth 771)

2. ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: ‘The Mahdi is one of us, a member of my family. Allaah will guide him in a single night.’" (Musnad Ahmad, 2/58, hadeeth 645, edited by Ahmad al-Shaakir, who said: its isnaad is saheeh; Sunan Ibn Maajah, 2/1367. This hadeeth was also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, 6735). Ibn Katheer said: "This means that Allaah will forgive him, grant him help, inspire him and guide him, when he was not like this before." (Al-Nihaayah, al-Fitan wa’l-Malaahim, 1/29; edited by Taha Zayni).

3. Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: ‘The Mahdi is of my lineage, with a high forehead and a long, thin, curved nose. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it was filled with oppression and injustice, and he will rule for seven years.’" (Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitaab al-Mahdi, 11/375, hadeeth 4265; Mustadrak al-Haakim, 4/557; he said: this is a saheeh hadeeth according to the conditions of Muslim, although it was not reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. See also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6736).

4. Umm Salamah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) say: ‘The Mahdi is of my lineage and family, from the descendants of Faatimah.’" (Sunan Abu Dawud, 11/373; Sunan Ibn Maajah. 2/1368. Al-Albaani said that it is saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6734)

5. Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: ‘‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will descend, and their leader the Mahdi will say, "Come and lead us in prayer," but he will say, "No, one of them should lead them as an honour to this ummah from Allaah."’" The version narrated by Muslim says: "… Then ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam (Peace be upon him) will descend and their leader will say, ‘Come and lead us in prayer,’ but he will say, ‘No, some of you are leaders over others as an honour from Allaah to this ummah.’" (Reported by Muslim, 225)

6. Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "He is one of us, behind whom ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will pray." (Reported by Abi Na’eem in Akhbaar al-Mahdi. Al-Albaani said it is saheeh; see al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, 5/219, hadeeth 5796).

7. ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood reported that the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "The world will not come to an end until the Arabs are ruled by a man from my family whose name will be the same as mine." (Musnad Ahmad, 5/199, hadeeth 3573. Another version says: "… whose name is the same as mine and whose father’s name is the same as my father’s." Sunan Abi Dawud, 11/370).

The ahaadeeth concerning the appearance of the Mahdi reach the level of Tawaatur in meaning (tawaatur refers to a hadeeth which was narrated by so many people through so many isnaads that it is inconceivable that they could all have agreed on a lie). The imaams and scholars of this ummah have stated this, and a few of their comments are quoted below:

1. Al-Haafiz Abu’l-Hasan al-Aabiri said: "The mutawaatir reports from the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) describing the Mahdi are very many. They state that the Mahdi will be of his family, that he will rule for seven years, that he will fill the earth with justice, that ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will emerge and help him to kill the Dajjaal, and that he will lead this ummah in prayer and ‘Eesaa will pray behind him."

2. Muhammad al-Barzanji said, in his book al-Ishaa’ah li Ashraat al-Saa’ah: "The major signs and the signs that will be immediately followed by the Hour: these signs are many, of which the Mahdi will be the first. Know that the ahaadeeth that have been narrated about him in various reports are numerous." He also said: "You know that the ahaadeeth which speak of the Mahdi, his appearance at the end of time, and his lineage and descent from the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) via Faatimah reach the level of tawaatur in meaning, so there is no point in denying them."

3. Al-‘Allaamah Muhammad al-Safaareeni said: "There are so many reports which speak of the appearance of the Mahdi that they reach the level of tawaatur in meaning; they are very popular among the scholars of Sunnah and have become part of their faith." Then he quotes a number of ahaadeeth and reports about the appearance of the Mahdi and the names of the Sahaabah from whom they were narrated: "Many reports were narrated from the Sahaabah whose names were mentioned and others whose names were not mentioned, may Allaah be pleased with them all, and from the Taabi’een after them, all of which proves that this is definitive knowledge. Belief in the appearance of the Mahdi is obligatory, as it has been confirmed by the scholars and is listed among the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah."

4. Al-‘Allaamah al-Mujtahid al-Shawkaani said: "The ahaadeeth that we have come across that speak of the awaited Mahdi reach the level of tawaatur, including fifty saheeh, hasan and da’eef munjabar ahaadeeth. There are mutawaatir without a doubt; indeed they are more mutawaatir than others, according to all the standards of usool. There are also many reports from the Sahaabah that speak about the Mahdi and that reach the level of marfoo’, so there is no room for individual opinions in such an issue."

5. Al-‘Allaamah al-Shaykh Siddeeq Hasan Khaan said: "Even though there are different versions of reports concerning the Mahdi, they are so many that they reach the level of tawaatur in meaning. They are to be found in al-Sunan and other books of Islam."

6. Al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Kattaani said: "The conclusion is that the ahaadeeth narrated concerning the Mahdi are mutawaatir, as are the ahaadeeth concerning the Dajjaal and the descent of ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam, upon whom be peace." (See Ashraat al-Saa’ah by Yoosuf ibn ‘Abdullaah al-Waabil, pp. 195-203).

You should be aware that some liars have fabricated ahaadeeth about the Mahdi, and others have even claimed to be he, or that he belongs to a group other than Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah. Some of these "false mahdis" have tried to deceive the slaves of Allaah for some worldly gain and to distort the picture of Islaam. Some have started movements and revolutions and gathered those people and supporters whom they were able to deceive. Then they were destroyed, and their lies and falsehood were exposed. None of this affects the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah in the Mahdi, upon whom be peace, and that he will undoubtedly appear and rule the earth in accordance with Islamic Sharee’ah. And Allaah knows best.


Islam Q&A
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid (www.islam-qa.com)

assalaam o alaikum Ansar

the things I have criticised you are providing me as reference, it is surprising for me. brother I am saying these things are not right and proved it from your Salaf's books. So it is useless to put these Ahadith as reference

Allah hafiz

The [article] is erroneous. By claimin' that it's not explictly mentioned in the Sahih Bukhari &/or Muslim collection doesn't indicate that it's a fabricated "tale". The advent of Mahdi is mentioned in many Sahih Hadiths which are Mutawatir in meaning. Furthermore, I find it amusin' bro how you attempt to discredit the sahih hadiths 'cause they're not in perferct harmony with your logic.

This is a serious allegation akhi, and has been dealth with by brother Shahid.

----------------
In this treatise we will inSha Allaah discuss some misconceptions and/or distortions, which are put forward by enemies of Islaam. The issues we will explore are,



1.Is there a second coming of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} [Jesus] according to Islaam?

2.Did Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} die on the cross?

3.How the Ayaah 3:55 is referring to Christians & Jews?

4.Is the Ayaah 3:55 referring to the death of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}?

5.What is the meaning of إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَused in Ayaah 3:55?

6.What is the meaning of وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّused in Ayaah 3:55?

7.What is the meaning of وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواused in Ayaah 3:55?

8.What is the meaning of مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْused in Ayaah 5:117?

9.How to reconcile Glorious Qur’aan, Bible and so-called state of Israel?



The mention of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} is found in the thirteen chapters of Glorious Qur’aan. Among some of them he is called by name “Isa”, whereas in some he is called as Maseeh or Abdullah. In some chapters he is called by his Kunniyaah, Ibn Maryam.



There have been deliberate distortions done by the Christian missionaries, Qadyanis and Perwazis (both are pseudo-Islaamic cults) to obscure and obfuscate the truth of Islaam and the teachings of Glorious Qur’aan. Some pseudo-Muslims and secular Muslims are also known to be a part of forgeries of propagating to so-called proof of “Holy Spirit and/or Holy Ghost” (Christian concept) in the Glorious Qur’aan. I would like to ask the readers to examine the Ayaat 16-21 in the Surah Maryam of the Glorious Qur’aan; I mean the Glorious Qur’aan not the translation in any language, which is not the Qur’aan. I will cite Ayaat 17 & 19 to present the evidence that claims made by the Christians and/or else are not true.



Surah Maryam 17

فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا

She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Jibrîl (Gabriel)), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.



*Notice: رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَOur Ruh (angel Jibrîl (Gabriel)), and he appeared



Thus, according to Islaam and/or Glorious Qur’aan the word رُوحَhas many meanings. In Glorious Qur’aan wordرُوحَhas been used for,



1.For soothing mercy, comfort in Ayaat 12:87 and 56:89.

2.For soul, which has been used 19 times where it means (a) the soul of man: The spirit which was breathed into Adam 15:29; 32:9 & 38:72 The spirit which was breathed into Maryam (AS) {Mary} 4:171; 21:19 & 66:12 (b) Jibraeel {AS} (Gabriel) the archangel of revelation: 2:87; 2:253; 5:110; 16:102; 17:85; 19:17; 26:192-193; 58:22; 70:4; 78:38 & 98:4 (c) Revelation, inspiration, Qur’aan: 16:2; 40:15 & 42:52



Now if you are reading a translation of the Glorious Qur’aan only, than you are most likely to misunderstand many parts of the Glorious Qur’aan; as the above explanation is the testament. Because in translations for example in English translations the word used is “spirit or holy spirit”, which is not even close to actual meanings and/or theme, but espouses a doubt that Muslims believe in “holy spirit” of “holy ghost” like Christians, which is not the case at all.



Let us examine Ayaah 19:19



قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا

(The angel) said: "I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."



In the above Ayaah archangel Jibraeel جبرائيل عليه السلام is introducing himself as رَسُولُmessenger.



The miraculous birth of Isa Ibn Maryam was a sign from Allaah, as we read (Also see 19:9 1 and 66:12),



Surah Maryam 21

قَالَ كَذَلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِنَّا وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَقْضِيًّا

He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me (Allâh): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allâh), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allâh).’ "



The birth of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} without a father was rejected by the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) and pseudo-Islaamic cult of Qadyanis and its offshoots, atheists; many Christians also refuse to believe in it. Whereas many Christians sects went too far making Isa Ibn Maryam a son of god or god or both because of his miracle birth. Glorious Qur’aan has repudiated the beliefs of Jews and Christians in this regard. One must note that if there was no truth in the claim of Isa’s (Jesus” birth without father then the Glorious Qur’aan could have easily rejected the Christians’ claim of Jesus’ divinity by naming his father. Contrary to that Glorious Qur’aan made it clear that this fact cannot be an argument in favor of his (Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}) divinity, it said,



Surah Al-i-'Imran 59

إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ

Verily, the likeness of ‘Îsâ before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was.



Nevertheless these people have interpreted the Ayaat (verses) of the Glorious Qur’aan wrongly by disjointing the phases to create mischievous impressions about the birth of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}. If we read all the Ayaat on the subject together, we will have no doubt whatsoever on the meaning that Isa {AS} was born without a father unless the words of the Arabic language are given assumed meanings, which of always done by the Qadyanis, Orientalists and Christian missionaries.



Let discus the Ayaah 3:55 by retaining the order of narration found in the Glorious Qur’aan.



The first promise in the Ayaah 3:55 is "O ‘Îsâ! I will take you (I will complete your appointed time)” إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ. This means that your death will not come by the hands of your enemies i.e. Jews; but you will die your natural death at its appointed time. Allaah (SWT) let Prophet Isa (AS) know that the first promise will be fulfilled by وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ“and raise you to Myself” it will be done, Allaah then said, “وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا {in such a way that the disbelievers would not even be able to touch you} And then, Allaah (SWT) said, “I will grant predominance to your followers over the rejecters until the day of resurrection.”{Means, even the misguided Christians and the rightly guided Muslims will have an upper hand over the Jews until the Day of Judgment, and the Jews will not have an absolute ruling authority till then.” Final Judgment will be delivered on the Day of Resurrection when the difference between Truth and Falsehood will be settled}.



We know that the first, second and third promises have been fulfilled, which are:



1Allaah did not let Prophet Isa die by the hands of his enemies i.e. Jews, we also read confirmation of this in Ayaah 4:157.

2Allaah raised Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} up in the heaven.

3Jews have never been able for 2000 years {since alleged killing of Isa Ibn Maryam (AS) until today} to rule on the earth.


Fulfillment of God’s promise did come to pass as we read in Old Testament, Joshua 21:43-45 & Joshua 23:14-16!



43 So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there. 44 The LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the LORD handed all their enemies over to them. 45 Not one of all the LORD's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.



Further confirmation that God fulfilled all the promises:

Joshua 23

14 "Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. 15 But just as every good promise of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you. 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD's anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you."



The enemies of Islaam and/or pseudo-Islaamic cults have always presented their absurd claims by changing the sequence of the promises especially the alleged promise to give holy land to Jews, by distorting the facts and creating their own meanings of the Ayaah 3.55. Readers may find it interesting to know that these Ayaat were enough for Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to successfully refute the Jews and Christians of his time.

The exegesis is based on the reading تَوَفّى: تُجْزَى جزاءً كاملا {tuwaffa} to mean complete the appointed time. It is then interpreted as death but that is not the true meaning of تَوَفّى{tuwaffa}. The root is وَفَّى: أَدَّى ما عليه كاملا {wafa} and its correct meaning is to take in full. Since man completes his appointed time at his death, when Allaah takes back his soul the moment of death fully, thus, this word is used in this context figuratively in the sense of death.



However, if the real meaning can only be applied and no other meaning can be taken, even if the subject in the sentence is Allaah and the object man with soul; then only the real meaning to take in full is applied. For example,



It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.



In the above Ayaah the word tuwaffa is used for those too that die not. On the one hand, it is said clearly that those are alive that do not die and on the other hand it is asserted that Allaah takes in full تَوَفّىin their sleeping state. Allaah is the subject of the sentence and man is the object but in no case does تَوَفّى{Tuwaffa} mean death. Otherwise the phrase وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ{those that die not} will be meaningless (Allaah forbid).



Let us examine another Ayaah (Verse),



Surah Al-An'am 60

It is He Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day,



Here too the word tuwaffa cannot mean death although again the sentence has Allaah as its subject and the man as its object.



Let us see another example,



Surah Al-An'am 61

…until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take him in full.



In the above Ayaah the topic is death yet the word tuwaffa does not mean death, otherwise there would have been unnecessary repetition, which is hardly used, in ordinary speech let alone eloquent speech of Glorious Qur’aan.



Readers can now see that how hollow is the claims made by Murtadd Akbarally Meherally and his sidekick Qadyani Kashif Ahmed Shehzada. The use of both words together and the difference in the sense they convey shows clearly that they are not synonyms. There is a distinct difference in their real meaning, take this Ayaah,



فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّى يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ

…confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them …



The word مَوْت{mawt}is the subject of the verb تَوَفّى{tuwaffa}. It is common to the grammar of every language that the subject and predicate are not the same. The subject is the doer (doing word) and the verb or predicate is what is done, it is not the subject. Thus, tuwaffa does not at all mean death.



Readers must know that apart from the above examples, Allaah is the subject of تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} and its object is soul of man, تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} still cannot mean death under any circumstances, as we see in the following examples,



Surah Al-Baqarah 281

وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allâh. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.



Surah An-Nahl 111

يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

(Remember) the Day when every person will come up pleading for himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did (good or evil, belief or disbelief in the life of this world) and they will not be dealt with unjustly.



Suggesting that تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} and مَوْت{mawt} are synonymous or that when تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} has, Allaah as it’s subject and man or his soul as its object, can only be the death as it’s meaning, is erroneous.



In the entire Glorious Qur’aan only Allaah is used as the subject of مَوْت{mawt} [death] and no other noun is used. Butتَوَفّى{tuwaffa} has frequently been for angels as its subject, e.g.



Surah An-Nisaa 97

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنْتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَا فَأُولَئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا

Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on the earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination!



Surah Al-An'am 61

He is the Irresistible, (Supreme) over His slaves, and He sends guardians (angels guarding and writing all of one’s good and bad deeds) over you, until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty.



Also

Surah As-Sajda 11

قُلْ يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ

Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls. Then you shall be brought to your Lord."



And

Surah Al-Anfal 50

And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death); they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire."



Despite the fact that word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} is used in all the above Ayaat figuratively for death, yet has the angels or the angel of death as its subject so the word مَوْت{mawt} is not used; because death is only given by Allaah (SWT). Taking the soul at the appointed time is an act of angels when Allaah (SWT) completes anyone’s appointed time and commands that death be given to him. That is why to depict what is happening, the word مَوْت{mawt} is never used but تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} is used.



Another difference betweenمَوْت{mawt} and تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} is that Glorious Qur’aan has used مَوْت{mawt} in relation to hayah {life}, but has never used for once تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} against hayah.



See the following examples,



Surah Al-Furqan 3

Yet they have taken besides Him other alîhâh (gods) who created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither harm nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.



Surah Al-Mulk 2

الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;



Also see: 2:260; 30:19; 2:164; 16:65; 45:5; 3:49 & 42:9



What is often left out and/or concealed by the enemies of Islaam due to deception is the Ayaah 3:54,



Surah Al-i-'Imran 54

وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

And they (disbelievers) plotted to kill ‘Îsâ عليه السلام), and Allâh plotted too. And Allâh is the Best of those who plot.



The word مَكَر {makara} is used in the Arabic language and/or Qur’aanic vocabulary for a secret plan (and to cheat). According to the grammatical and/or language rules, if anyone devises a counter-plan against another ‘s conspiracy that is also called مَكَر {makara}. The same word is even used when it is with good intention. We read rest of it in Ayaah 5:110,



Surah Al-Maidah 110

(Remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection). "O ‘Îsâ, son of Maryam! Remember My Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Rûh-ul-Qudus (Jibrîl (Gabriel)) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay a figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) as you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’"



Thus, in the Ayaah 3:55 وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ “and raise you to Myself” and "O ‘Îsâ! I will take you (I will complete your appointed time)” إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ. This means that your death will not come by the hands of your enemies i.e. Jews; will mean that Isa Ibn Maryam (AS) is safe in all manners from the disbelievers. Allaah then said, “وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا {in such a way that the disbelievers would not even be able to touch you}.



Enemies of Islaam can only hope to distort the truth of Islaam, but they should take a heed to the fact,



Surah Fussilat 42

لَا يَأْتِيهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ

Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allâh عز وجل)



Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} is alive:



وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا

And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (‘Îsâ, son of Maryam, as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being) before his (‘Îsâ عليه السلام) or a Jew’s or a Christian’s) death{1} (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he (‘Îsâ) will be a witness against them.

{1} (V.4: 159) - "Before his death," has two interpretations: before ‘Îsâ’s death after his descent from the heavens, or a Jew’s or a Christian’s death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death when he will realize that ‘Îsâ was only a Messenger of Allâh, and had no share in Divinity.



Before this, Ayaah 4:157 explicitly says that they killed him not, nor they crucified him. Readers must observe that the word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} is used in Surah Al-Imraan and Surah Al-Ma’idah meaning take in full, Surah An-Nisa 4:159 has the word مَوْت{mawt}[death]

Why is that so?



This is because the word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} alone was exactly suitable there as I have explained above, but in Surah An-Nisa, it is the death that is being discussed, so the word مَوْت{mawt}[death] is appropriate. Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} will also taste death like all other human beings. If that had not been the case, the word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} would have been used in Surah An-Nisa and the word مَوْت{mawt}[death] in Surah Al-Imraan and Surah Al-Ma’idah. But it is the seekers of the truth and rightly guided Muslims who can distinguish these differences and expose the forgeries of Kuffar and enemies of Islaam, in this case of Murtadd Akbarally Meherally & Kashif Ahmad Shehzada or else.



The word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} used in 3:55 & مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ in Glorious Qur’aan 5:117!



"Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).



I have discussed the word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} above in great detail, but it is important to mention the use of phrase مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ{as long as I was with then or while I dwelt among them}, if Glorious Qur’aan had to convey that Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} had died, than Qur’aan would have used the word مَوْت{mawt}[death] in relation to حَيًّا hayah [life], like it is used in Glorious Qur’aan 19:33 for Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}



Surah Maryam 33

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتُ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

"And Salâm (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"



We see that Glorious Qur’aan has used مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ{as long as I was with then or while I dwelt among them} instead of حَيَاةَandمُتَوَفِّيكَinstead of مَوْت{mawt}. Therefore, Glorious Qur’aan conveys in these two words all the stages Isa Ibn Maryam went through i.e. his life, raising up to heavens, descend back to earth and then death. Readers must notice that Glorious Qur’aan has not used the phrase Ma hayyat مَا حُيِّيتُ{as long as I lived}, thus by usingمَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْGlorious Qur’aan did put in brief sentence all phases of the life of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}. By using the فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي(in 5:117){means, but when You recalled me or took me up} Glorious Qur’aan has cited two experiences of raising up to the heavens and death after descent on earth. The word مَوْت{mawt}[death] would have conveyed only once sense whereas the word تَوَفّى{tuwaffa} conveys both facts together.



Second Coming of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}!



Glorious Qur’aan 3:55!



{1} (V.3: 55) The advent (descent) of ‘Îsâ, (son of Maryam) عليه السلام. a) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عبه Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely (‘Îsâ), the son of Maryam عليه السلامwill shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ân (as a just ruler); he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jîzyah " (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Hurairah added: "If you wish, you can recite (this Verse of the Qur’ân): "And there is none of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (i.e. ‘Îsâ عليه السلام as a Messenger of Allâh and a human being) before his (‘Îsâ عليه السلام or a Jew’s or Christian’s) death, and on the Day of Resurrection, he (‘Îsâ عليه السلام) will be a witness against them." (4:159). (See Fath Al-Bari, Vol.7, Page No.302) According to the quotation of Kushmaihani there is the word Al-Jizyah * instead of Al-Harb (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.657). b) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "How will you be when the son of Maryam (i.e. ‘Îsâ عليه السلام descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur’ân and not by the law of the Injeel (Gospel)." (Fath Al-Bari, Vol.7, Pages 304 and 305) (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.658). * The Jizyah: a tax imposed on non-Muslims who would keep their own religion, rather than embrace Islâm) will not be accepted by ‘Îsâ عليه السلام, but all people will be required to embrace Islâm and there will be no other alternative.



Glorious Qur’aan 4:159!



وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا

{1} (V.4: 159) See the footnote of (V.3: 55).

{2} (V.4: 159) - "Before his death," has two interpretations: before ‘Îsâ’s death after his descent from the heavens, or a Jew’s or a Christian’s death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death when he will realize that ‘Îsâ was only a Messenger of Allâh, and had no share in Divinity.

Glorious Qur’aan 43:61!



And he (‘Îsâ, son of Maryam)shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) (i.e. ‘Isâ’s descent on the earth). {1} Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to Allâh and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islâmic Monotheism, leading to Allâh and to His Paradise).

{1} (V.43: 61) See the footnote of (V.3: 55) above.

Glorious Qur’aan 6:60!

Allaah says in Glorious Qur’aan 39:42!



It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die notduring their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.



Meaning of “Take You”



Following Ayah/verse 20:55 must be understood clearly with the context of what is cited above:



Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.

GIST:From it - the earth - We created you and back too it will We bring you (at death), and out of it will We bring you again (on the Day of Judgment).



"مِنْهَا"





"أُخْرَى"



The Ayah/Verse 20:55 clearly prove that the belief in 2nd coming of Isa Ibn Maryam is inevitable to deny. As we see that Allaah (SWT) says in the above Ayah, that mankind is created from the clay (earth), and will bury in earth, and then will be brought out of earth again on the Day of Judgment. That has NOT happened with Jesus.Thus, according to correct belief, Jesus will come again alive, live and then die before the Day of Judgment. To further cement the proof please read the following Ayah/verse:



In the Ayah 20:55 cited above the statement “And from it We shall bring you out once again,” means:



This Ayah (17:52) cited above is similar to Allaah’s statement,



Allthe Messengers of Allaah (SWT) got married and had children, whereas Isa Ibn Maryam (PBUT) is the only one who didn’t get married and have children. According to the correct Aqeedah of Islaam Isa Ibn Maryam (PBUT) will descent to earth, then he will follow the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW){i.e. Islaam}, he will get married and will have children. Then he will die his natural death. Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan 13:38, the following:



Glorious Qur’aan 13:38!



And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring a sign except by Allâh’s Leave. (For) every matter there is a Decree (from Allâh). (Tafsir Al-Tabari)



Glorious Qur’aan 33:62!

ُ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلً

Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan (2:176):



ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ لَفِي شِقَاقٍ بَعِيدٍ

That is because Allâh has sent down the Book (the Qur’ân) in truth. And verily, those who disputed as regards the Book are far away in opposition.



Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan:



Glorious Qur’aan 3:7!



It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the Book (this Qur’ân). In it are Verses that are entirely clear; they are the foundations of the Book (and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm (commandments), Al-Fara’id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers)); and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allâh. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding.



Conclusion!



1.The Ayaah 3:55 says that Jews will remain the subject rather than rulers till the Day of Judgment, even under misguided Christians and rightly guided Muslims. Two thousands years of history is testament to it.

2.Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} never died {especially on the cross} neither he was killed as falsely claimed by Jews, Christians and some pseudo-Islaamic cults.

3.Second coming of Isa Ibn Maryam is inevitable as is proved in this treatise derived from Glorious Qur’aan and Sunnah.
source

No brother, I just showed you that they have been classified as Saheeh by the world's leading Muhaddith.

Imaam Al-Albani, most notably has reviewed all the information you presented and still has classified them as saheeh and some as mutawaatir.

This belief has been firmly rooted in the Muslim ummah since the time of Prophet Muhammad saws. It was agreed upon by the Salaf.

Furthermore, it is inconceivable that the Ummah would unite on disbelief, because that defies the logic of the mutawaatir nature of the Sunnah.

Evidence of Second Coming of Isa Ibn Maryam عليهما السلام!



By: Shahid Bin Waheed شاهد بن وحيد


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمدلله رب العالمين والصلوة والسلام على اشرف الانبياء وسيدالمرسلين نبينا محمد صل ا لله عليه وعلى آله واصحابه وازواجه اجمعين - امابعدThanks to be Allaah, Sustainer of the Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish of the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives, children and Companions.



In this treatise we will inSha Allaah discuss some misconceptions and/or distortions, which are put forward by enemies of Islaam. The issues we will explore are,



1. Is there a second coming of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} [Jesus] according to Islaam?

2. Did Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} die on the cross?

3. How the Ayaah 3:55 is referring to Christians & Jews?

4. Is the Ayaah 3:55 referring to the death of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}?

5. What is the meaning of إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ used in Ayaah 3:55?

6. What is the meaning of وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ used in Ayaah 3:55?

7. What is the meaning of وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا used in Ayaah 3:55?

8. What is the meaning of مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ used in Ayaah 5:117?

9. How to reconcile Glorious Qur’aan, Bible and so-called state of Israel?



The mention of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} is found in the thirteen chapters of Glorious Qur’aan. Among some of them he is called by name “Isa”, whereas in some he is called as Maseeh or Abdullah. In some chapters he is called by his Kunniyaah, Ibn Maryam.



There have been deliberate distortions done by the Christian missionaries, Qadyanis and Perwazis (both are pseudo-Islaamic cults) to obscure and obfuscate the truth of Islaam and the teachings of Glorious Qur’aan. Some pseudo-Muslims and secular Muslims are also known to be a part of forgeries of propagating to so-called proof of “Holy Spirit and/or Holy Ghost” (Christian concept) in the Glorious Qur’aan. I would like to ask the readers to examine the Ayaat 16-21 in the Surah Maryam of the Glorious Qur’aan; I mean the Glorious Qur’aan not the translation in any language, which is not the Qur’aan. I will cite Ayaat 17 & 19 to present the evidence that claims made by the Christians and/or else are not true.



Surah Maryam 17
فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Jibrîl (Gabriel)), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.



*Notice: رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ Our Ruh (angel Jibrîl (Gabriel)), and he appeared



Thus, according to Islaam and/or Glorious Qur’aan the word رُوحَ has many meanings. In Glorious Qur’aan word رُوحَ has been used for,



1. For soothing mercy, comfort in Ayaat 12:87 and 56:89.

2. For soul, which has been used 19 times where it means (a) the soul of man: The spirit which was breathed into Adam 15:29; 32:9 & 38:72 The spirit which was breathed into Maryam (AS) {Mary} 4:171; 21:19 & 66:12 (b) Jibraeel {AS} (Gabriel) the archangel of revelation: 2:87; 2:253; 5:110; 16:102; 17:85; 19:17; 26:192-193; 58:22; 70:4; 78:38 & 98:4 (c) Revelation, inspiration, Qur’aan: 16:2; 40:15 & 42:52



Now if you are reading a translation of the Glorious Qur’aan only, than you are most likely to misunderstand many parts of the Glorious Qur’aan; as the above explanation is the testament. Because in translations for example in English translations the word used is “spirit or holy spirit”, which is not even close to actual meanings and/or theme, but espouses a doubt that Muslims believe in “holy spirit” of “holy ghost” like Christians, which is not the case at all.



Let us examine Ayaah 19:19

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا
(The angel) said: "I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."



In the above Ayaah archangel Jibraeel جبرائيل عليه السلام is introducing himself as رَسُولُ messenger.



The miraculous birth of Isa Ibn Maryam was a sign from Allaah, as we read (Also see 19:9 1 and 66:12),



Surah Maryam 21
قَالَ كَذَلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِنَّا وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَقْضِيًّا
He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me (Allâh): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allâh), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allâh).’ "



The birth of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} without a father was rejected by the Bani Israel (Children of Israel) and pseudo-Islaamic cult of Qadyanis and its offshoots, atheists; many Christians also refuse to believe in it. Whereas many Christians sects went too far making Isa Ibn Maryam a son of god or god or both because of his miracle birth. Glorious Qur’aan has repudiated the beliefs of Jews and Christians in this regard. One must note that if there was no truth in the claim of Isa’s (Jesus” birth without father then the Glorious Qur’aan could have easily rejected the Christians’ claim of Jesus’ divinity by naming his father. Contrary to that Glorious Qur’aan made it clear that this fact cannot be an argument in favor of his (Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}) divinity, it said,



Surah Al-i-'Imran 59
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ

Verily, the likeness of ‘Îsâ before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was.



Nevertheless these people have interpreted the Ayaat (verses) of the Glorious Qur’aan wrongly by disjointing the phases to create mischievous impressions about the birth of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}. If we read all the Ayaat on the subject together, we will have no doubt whatsoever on the meaning that Isa {AS} was born without a father unless the words of the Arabic language are given assumed meanings, which of always done by the Qadyanis, Orientalists and Christian missionaries.



Let discus the Ayaah 3:55 by retaining the order of narration found in the Glorious Qur’aan.



The first promise in the Ayaah 3:55 is "O ‘Îsâ! I will take you (I will complete your appointed time)” إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ. This means that your death will not come by the hands of your enemies i.e. Jews; but you will die your natural death at its appointed time. Allaah (SWT) let Prophet Isa (AS) know that the first promise will be fulfilled by وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ “and raise you to Myself” it will be done, Allaah then said, “وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا {in such a way that the disbelievers would not even be able to touch you} And then, Allaah (SWT) said, “I will grant predominance to your followers over the rejecters until the day of resurrection.” {Means, even the misguided Christians and the rightly guided Muslims will have an upper hand over the Jews until the Day of Judgment, and the Jews will not have an absolute ruling authority till then.” Final Judgment will be delivered on the Day of Resurrection when the difference between Truth and Falsehood will be settled}.



We know that the first, second and third promises have been fulfilled, which are:



1 Allaah did not let Prophet Isa die by the hands of his enemies i.e. Jews, we also read confirmation of this in Ayaah 4:157.

2 Allaah raised Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} up in the heaven.

3 Jews have never been able for 2000 years {since alleged killing of Isa Ibn Maryam (AS) until today} to rule on the earth except being fugitives and/or refugees, which is also mentioned in the Chapter 28 of the Deuteronomy (Bible). For those who may find it difficult to reconcile the two things i.e. the Glorious Qur’aan and even Bible (especially Deuteronomy chapter 28) seems to indicate that the Jews will never have a sovereign state, while they have actually usurped Palestine and set up a state of their own. Historically Jews have always been either fugitives and/or refugees. However, if we go beyond the appearances, we can easily see that “Israel” is not an independent sovereign state, but only a stronghold of the Western powers which they have established in the midst of the Muslim countries and/or on Muslims’ land in order to protect their own interests; without the backing and/or protection of these super-powers the Jewish “state” cannot survive for a month, and the Western powers themselves look upon the Jewish intruders and/or occupiers as their henchmen. The “Israeli state” has been living, as the Glorious Qur’aan says, “through a rope from men,” and. Even at that, living as a parasite on the Western powers. So, there is no real occasion to have a misgiving about what the Glorious Qur’aan has said on the subject. The occupying Jews are not the ones Glorious Qur’aan talks about. All of them have implanted from USA, Canada, Europe and Russia etc. under a false pretext of so-called divine right, which is nothing but a hoax if one read the Bible itself carefully.



Fulfillment of God’s promise did come to pass as we read in Old Testament, Joshua 21:43-45 & Joshua 23:14-16!



43 So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there. 44 The LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the LORD handed all their enemies over to them. 45 Not one of all the LORD's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.


Further confirmation that God fulfilled all the promises:

Joshua 23
14 "Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. 15 But just as every good promise of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you. 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD's anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you."



The enemies of Islaam and/or pseudo-Islaamic cults have always presented their absurd claims by changing the sequence of the promises especially the alleged promise to give holy land to Jews, by distorting the facts and creating their own meanings of the Ayaah 3.55. Readers may find it interesting to know that these Ayaat were enough for Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to successfully refute the Jews and Christians of his time.

The exegesis is based on the reading تَوَفّى: تُجْزَى جزاءً كاملا {tuwaffa} to mean complete the appointed time. It is then interpreted as death but that is not the true meaning of تَوَفّى {tuwaffa}. The root is وَفَّى: أَدَّى ما عليه كاملا {wafa} and its correct meaning is to take in full. Since man completes his appointed time at his death, when Allaah takes back his soul the moment of death fully, thus, this word is used in this context figuratively in the sense of death.



However, if the real meaning can only be applied and no other meaning can be taken, even if the subject in the sentence is Allaah and the object man with soul; then only the real meaning to take in full is applied. For example,



Surah Az-Zumar 42

اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنْفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَى إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.



In the above Ayaah the word tuwaffa is used for those too that die not. On the one hand, it is said clearly that those are alive that do not die and on the other hand it is asserted that Allaah takes in full تَوَفّى in their sleeping state. Allaah is the subject of the sentence and man is the object but in no case does تَوَفّى {Tuwaffa} mean death. Otherwise the phrase وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ {those that die not} will be meaningless (Allaah forbid).



Let us examine another Ayaah (Verse),



Surah Al-An'am 60
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا جَرَحْتُمْ بِالنَّهَار

It is He Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day,



Here too the word tuwaffa cannot mean death although again the sentence has Allaah as its subject and the man as its object.



Let us see another example,



Surah Al-An'am 61

حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا …

…until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take him in full.



In the above Ayaah the topic is death yet the word tuwaffa does not mean death, otherwise there would have been unnecessary repetition, which is hardly used, in ordinary speech let alone eloquent speech of Glorious Qur’aan.



Readers can now see that how hollow is the claims made by Murtadd Akbarally Meherally and his sidekick Qadyani Kashif Ahmed Shehzada. The use of both words together and the difference in the sense they convey shows clearly that they are not synonyms. There is a distinct difference in their real meaning, take this Ayaah,



Surah An-Nisaa 15

فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ حَتَّى يَتَوَفَّاهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ
…confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them …



The word مَوْت {mawt} is the subject of the verb تَوَفّى {tuwaffa}. It is common to the grammar of every language that the subject and predicate are not the same. The subject is the doer (doing word) and the verb or predicate is what is done, it is not the subject. Thus, tuwaffa does not at all mean death.



Readers must know that apart from the above examples, Allaah is the subject of تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} and its object is soul of man, تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} still cannot mean death under any circumstances, as we see in the following examples,



Surah Al-Baqarah 281

وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allâh. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.



Surah An-Nahl 111
يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
(Remember) the Day when every person will come up pleading for himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did (good or evil, belief or disbelief in the life of this world) and they will not be dealt with unjustly.



Suggesting that تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} and مَوْت {mawt} are synonymous or that when تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} has, Allaah as it’s subject and man or his soul as its object, can only be the death as it’s meaning, is erroneous.



In the entire Glorious Qur’aan only Allaah is used as the subject of مَوْت {mawt} [death] and no other noun is used. But تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} has frequently been for angels as its subject, e.g.



Surah An-Nisaa 97

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنْتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَا فَأُولَئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا

Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on the earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination!



Surah Al-An'am 61
وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةً حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ

He is the Irresistible, (Supreme) over His slaves, and He sends guardians (angels guarding and writing all of one’s good and bad deeds) over you, until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty.



Also

Surah As-Sajda 11
قُلْ يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
Say: "The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls. Then you shall be brought to your Lord."



And

Surah Al-Anfal 50
وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ يَتَوَفَّى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَارَهُمْ وَذُوقُوا عَذَابَ الْحَرِيقِ

And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death); they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire."



Despite the fact that word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} is used in all the above Ayaat figuratively for death, yet has the angels or the angel of death as its subject so the word مَوْت {mawt} is not used; because death is only given by Allaah (SWT). Taking the soul at the appointed time is an act of angels when Allaah (SWT) completes anyone’s appointed time and commands that death be given to him. That is why to depict what is happening, the word مَوْت {mawt} is never used but تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} is used.



Another difference between مَوْت {mawt} and تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} is that Glorious Qur’aan has used مَوْت {mawt} in relation to hayah {life}, but has never used for once تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} against hayah.



See the following examples,



Surah Al-Furqan 3
وَاتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا

Yet they have taken besides Him other alîhâh (gods) who created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither harm nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.



Surah Al-Mulk 2
الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ
Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;



Also see: 2:260; 30:19; 2:164; 16:65; 45:5; 3:49 & 42:9



What is often left out and/or concealed by the enemies of Islaam due to deception is the Ayaah 3:54,



Surah Al-i-'Imran 54
وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ
And they (disbelievers) plotted to kill ‘Îsâ عليه السلام), and Allâh plotted too. And Allâh is the Best of those who plot.



The word مَكَر {makara} is used in the Arabic language and/or Qur’aanic vocabulary for a secret plan (and to cheat). According to the grammatical and/or language rules, if anyone devises a counter-plan against another ‘s conspiracy that is also called مَكَر {makara}. The same word is even used when it is with good intention. We read rest of it in Ayaah 5:110,



Surah Al-Maidah 110

إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدْتُكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي فَتَنْفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِي وَتُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَى بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْكَ إِذْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ

(Remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection). "O ‘Îsâ, son of Maryam! Remember My Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Rûh-ul-Qudus (Jibrîl (Gabriel)) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay a figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) as you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’"



Thus, in the Ayaah 3:55 وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ “and raise you to Myself” and "O ‘Îsâ! I will take you (I will complete your appointed time)” إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ. This means that your death will not come by the hands of your enemies i.e. Jews; will mean that Isa Ibn Maryam (AS) is safe in all manners from the disbelievers. Allaah then said, “وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا {in such a way that the disbelievers would not even be able to touch you}.



Enemies of Islaam can only hope to distort the truth of Islaam, but they should take a heed to the fact,



Surah Fussilat 42
لَا يَأْتِيهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ
Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allâh عز وجل)



Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} is alive:



Surah An-Nisaa 159

وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا
And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (‘Îsâ, son of Maryam, as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being) before his (‘Îsâ عليه السلام) or a Jew’s or a Christian’s) death{1} (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he (‘Îsâ) will be a witness against them.

{1} (V.4: 159) - "Before his death," has two interpretations: before ‘Îsâ’s death after his descent from the heavens, or a Jew’s or a Christian’s death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death when he will realize that ‘Îsâ was only a Messenger of Allâh, and had no share in Divinity.



Before this, Ayaah 4:157 explicitly says that they killed him not, nor they crucified him. Readers must observe that the word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} is used in Surah Al-Imraan and Surah Al-Ma’idah meaning take in full, Surah An-Nisa 4:159 has the word مَوْت {mawt}[death]

وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ



Why is that so?



This is because the word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} alone was exactly suitable there as I have explained above, but in Surah An-Nisa, it is the death that is being discussed, so the word مَوْت {mawt}[death] is appropriate. Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} will also taste death like all other human beings. If that had not been the case, the word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} would have been used in Surah An-Nisa and the word مَوْت {mawt}[death] in Surah Al-Imraan and Surah Al-Ma’idah. But it is the seekers of the truth and rightly guided Muslims who can distinguish these differences and expose the forgeries of Kuffar and enemies of Islaam, in this case of Murtadd Akbarally Meherally & Kashif Ahmad Shehzada or else.



The word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} used in 3:55 & مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ in Glorious Qur’aan 5:117!



Surah Al-Maidah 117

مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

"Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).



I have discussed the word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} above in great detail, but it is important to mention the use of phrase مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ {as long as I was with then or while I dwelt among them}, if Glorious Qur’aan had to convey that Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} had died, than Qur’aan would have used the word مَوْت {mawt}[death] in relation to حَيًّا hayah [life], like it is used in Glorious Qur’aan 19:33 for Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}



Surah Maryam 33

وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتُ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا
"And Salâm (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!"



We see that Glorious Qur’aan has used مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ {as long as I was with then or while I dwelt among them} instead of حَيَاةَ and مُتَوَفِّيكَ instead of مَوْت {mawt}. Therefore, Glorious Qur’aan conveys in these two words all the stages Isa Ibn Maryam went through i.e. his life, raising up to heavens, descend back to earth and then death. Readers must notice that Glorious Qur’aan has not used the phrase Ma hayyat مَا حُيِّيتُ {as long as I lived}, thus by using مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ Glorious Qur’aan did put in brief sentence all phases of the life of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}. By using the فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي (in 5:117){means, but when You recalled me or took me up} Glorious Qur’aan has cited two experiences of raising up to the heavens and death after descent on earth. The word مَوْت {mawt}[death] would have conveyed only once sense whereas the word تَوَفّى {tuwaffa} conveys both facts together.



Second Coming of Isa Ibn Maryam {AS}!



Glorious Qur’aan 3:55!



إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَجَاعِلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوكَ فَوْقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

{1} (V.3: 55) The advent (descent) of ‘Îsâ, (son of Maryam) عليه السلام. a) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عبه Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely (‘Îsâ), the son of Maryam عليه السلامwill shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ân (as a just ruler); he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jîzyah " (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Hurairah added: "If you wish, you can recite (this Verse of the Qur’ân): "And there is none of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (i.e. ‘Îsâ عليه السلام as a Messenger of Allâh and a human being) before his (‘Îsâ عليه السلام or a Jew’s or Christian’s) death, and on the Day of Resurrection, he (‘Îsâ عليه السلام) will be a witness against them." (4:159). (See Fath Al-Bari, Vol.7, Page No.302) According to the quotation of Kushmaihani there is the word Al-Jizyah * instead of Al-Harb (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.657). b) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "How will you be when the son of Maryam (i.e. ‘Îsâ عليه السلام descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur’ân and not by the law of the Injeel (Gospel)." (Fath Al-Bari, Vol.7, Pages 304 and 305) (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.658). * The Jizyah: a tax imposed on non-Muslims who would keep their own religion, rather than embrace Islâm) will not be accepted by ‘Îsâ عليه السلام, but all people will be required to embrace Islâm and there will be no other alternative.



Glorious Qur’aan 4:159!



وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا
{1} (V.4: 159) See the footnote of (V.3: 55).

{2} (V.4: 159) - "Before his death," has two interpretations: before ‘Îsâ’s death after his descent from the heavens, or a Jew’s or a Christian’s death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death when he will realize that ‘Îsâ was only a Messenger of Allâh, and had no share in Divinity.

Glorious Qur’aan 43:61!



وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُونِ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

And he (‘Îsâ, son of Maryam) shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) (i.e. ‘Isâ’s descent on the earth). {1} Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to Allâh and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islâmic Monotheism, leading to Allâh and to His Paradise).

{1} (V.43: 61) See the footnote of (V.3: 55) above.

Glorious Qur’aan 6:60!

Allaah says in Glorious Qur’aan 39:42!



اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنْفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَى إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.



Meaning of “Take You”


عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ

I will take you and raise you to Myself [3/55]



وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ

It is He Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep)[6/60]



اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنْفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا

It is Allâh Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. [39/42]



Following Ayah/verse 20:55 must be understood clearly with the context of what is cited above:



مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى

Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.



GIST: From it - the earth - We created you and back too it will We bring you (at death), and out of it will We bring you again (on the Day of Judgment).



Tafseer Jalalain!



"مِنْهَا"
أَيْ مِنْ الْأَرْض

"خَلَقْنَاكُمْ"

بِخَلْقِ أَبِيكُمْ آدَم مِنْهَا

"وَفِيهَا نُعِيدكُمْ"

مَقْبُورِينَ بَعْد الْمَوْت

"وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجكُمْ"

عِنْد الْبَعْث

"تَارَة"

مَرَّة

"أُخْرَى"
كَمَا أَخْرَجْنَاكُمْ عِنْد ابْتِدَاء خَلْقكُمْ



The Ayah/Verse 20:55 clearly prove that the belief in 2nd coming of Isa Ibn Maryam is inevitable to deny. As we see that Allaah (SWT) says in the above Ayah, that mankind is created from the clay (earth), and will bury in earth, and then will be brought out of earth again on the Day of Judgment. That has NOT happened with Jesus. Thus, according to correct belief, Jesus will come again alive, live and then die before the Day of Judgment. To further cement the proof please read the following Ayah/verse:



In the Ayah 20:55 cited above the statement “And from it We shall bring you out once again,” means:



يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

On the Day when He will call you, and you will answer (His Call) with (words of) His Praise and Obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while!

(Glorious Qur’aan 17:52)



This Ayah (17:52) cited above is similar to Allaah’s statement,



قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ

He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected)." (Glorious Qur’aan 7:25)



All the Messengers of Allaah (SWT) got married and had children, whereas Isa Ibn Maryam (PBUT) is the only one who didn’t get married and have children. According to the correct Aqeedah of Islaam Isa Ibn Maryam (PBUT) will descent to earth, then he will follow the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW){i.e. Islaam}, he will get married and will have children. Then he will die his natural death. Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan 13:38, the following:



Glorious Qur’aan 13:38!



Surah Ar-Ra'd 38

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ

And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring a sign except by Allâh’s Leave. (For) every matter there is a Decree (from Allâh). (Tafsir Al-Tabari)



Glorious Qur’aan 33:62!

ُ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلً
…and you will not find any change in the Way of Allâh.



Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan (2:176):



ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ لَفِي شِقَاقٍ بَعِيدٍ
That is because Allâh has sent down the Book (the Qur’ân) in truth. And verily, those who disputed as regards the Book are far away in opposition.



Allaah (SWT) says in Glorious Qur’aan:



Glorious Qur’aan 3:7!



هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the Book (this Qur’ân). In it are Verses that are entirely clear; they are the foundations of the Book (and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm (commandments), Al-Fara’id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers)); and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allâh. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding.



Conclusion!



1. The Ayaah 3:55 says that Jews will remain the subject rather than rulers till the Day of Judgment, even under misguided Christians and rightly guided Muslims. Two thousands years of history is testament to it.

2. Isa Ibn Maryam {AS} never died {especially on the cross} neither he was killed as falsely claimed by Jews, Christians and some pseudo-Islaamic cults.

3. Second coming of Isa Ibn Maryam is inevitable as is proved in this treatise derived from Glorious Qur’aan and Sunnah.

assalaam o alaikum brother kadafi

hoping you would be enjoying your life and work

sorry brother i could not reply you soon, because of some personal problems. secondly i want to deep examine your post [in favour of descending of Isa (as)]there were few new things that i could not ignore.

reply is in front of you, examine and tell me what is the result

http://www.islamicboard.com/showthre...%29+imam+mahdi (link of kadafi's post)

Allah Hafiz

assalaam o alaikum

Brother Kadafi we can discuss over Ruh when we know what it is, you said there are many meanings of word Ruh and put some examples but brother when word Ruh have not any definition, as Allah said in Quran “they ask you that what is Ruh? Tell them it is beyond your senses (you are not able to understand) it is “Amr-a-Rabbi” so leaves it” (bani isra’eel) then how you got many meanings of it. Allah says it is Amr-a-Rabbi, meanings are “Hukam-a-Rabbi” and “bring some thing in existence from nothing”. There are two stages of creations “amr” & “khalq”. Amr mean “bring some thing in existence at once from nothing” (Nahee), and Khalq mean “bring some thing in existence through another thing in a specific time”. The word “kun fayakoon” is relate to “aalam-a-amr” where He creates or born something at once from nothing. The base of this universe relates to Amr, so, obviously, the Ruh, the angels, the Wahee are the part of Aalam-a-Amr because these things were created at very early steps of creation of the universe, and that is beyond our senses. What is Ruh, what is angel we are not able to understand, might both are same or not. These are, only, few names (Roh, Angels, Wahee) for us; we don’t know what these things are and how do work, same as Quran mentions Allah’s hand, Allah’s foot, Allah’s “Tahat” and Allah’s eyes, (could we imagine what kind of these are) so construct a building on the base of such things is not a good way, as you tried in your article.

Lets come to ayah you made the base of your discussion; ayah 55 of Surah Aal-a-Imran

3/55. When God said, `Jesus, I am ending thy term (twaffa) and raising thee to Me (raffah) and purifying thee of the unbelievers, and making those who follow thee above the unbelievers till the Day of Resurrection. Then unto Me shall you return, and I will decide between you wherein you differed. And, as for the unbelievers, I will punish them with a terrible punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they shall have no helpers. And as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, God will pay them their wages in full; and God does not love the wrongdoers.

Brother kadafi a big part of your discussion round about the word “tuwaffa” (3/55) and you got its meaning “to take in full” but this is a one portion of this word, the meaning that could fully covered this word is “to get back as exact as it was given or taken” This is the reason that this word is commonly used for death. Ruh is the part of human that given by Allah at once from aalam-a-amr and the rest (body) is created step by step here in aalam-a-khalq, the word “tuwaffa” deals with the first portion not with both Ruh & Body, because only Ruh is got back not in full. For example

39/42. It is Allâh, Who get back your souls (as it was given to you) (tuwaffa) at the time of death, and of those, too, that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.

6/60. It is He, Who takes your souls (tuwaffa) by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day, then he raises (wakes) you up again that a term appointed (your life period) be fulfilled, then in the end unto Him will be your return. Then He will inform you what you used to do.

Both the ayaat clearly saying that the word “tuwaffa” relate only to Ruh not with the both Ruh & body. In your discussion you tried to prove that the word Tuwaffa is used for those persons too that die not and present above two verses as reference, but, as I have said, we don’t know what is Ruh and how Allah take it back when we are in sleep, its goes out of our bodies or not? May word Ruh used for senses because in sleep we die not but become senseless (in case of death, too, nothing destroy but we lost our senses – remain in sleepy condition) and its common for every one not in a special case. Secondly sleep (for those that die not) is the condition for “tuwaffa” not at any time and it’s for a very limited time. Thirdly sleep is name of death as there are some very famous prayers for sleeping and awakening time by Muhammad (saw) that told us that sleep is like death. For example

1_I die and rise up (amoo’to wa ah’yaa) by the name of Allah (sleeping time)
2_Praise for Him who rise up again after we have died (ah’yaana ma baa’da amaatu’na) and we have to back to Him (after death) (awakening time)

This is the reason that the word tuwaffa is used here for those that die not but in sleepy condition. This word has same meanings at everywhere as I describe above. Its our assumptions that compel us to change its meanings.

Lets see this word in another angle

2/281. And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allâh. Then every person would be paid back as exact as he earned (tuwaffa), and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

16/111. (Remember) the Day when every person will come up pleading for himself, and every one will be paid back (tuwaffa) as exact as he did (good or evil, belief or disbelief in the life of this world) and they will not be dealt with unjustly.

Whatever we send to aalim-a-amr (for us) from here (aalim-a-khalq) will be get back as exact, same as the Ruh sent from aalim-a-amr and got back as exact as it was sent.

Let see another ayah of Surah A’raf

7/37. Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allâh or rejects His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)? For such their appointed portion (good things of this worldly life and their period of stay therein) will reach them from the Book (of Decrees) until, when Our Messengers (the angel of death and his assistants) come to them to get back their souls (tuwaffa), they (the angels) will say: "Where are those whom you used to invoke and worship besides Allâh," they will reply, "They have vanished and deserted us." And they will bear witness against themselves, that they were disbelievers.

The word tuwaffa is clearly used for death, when this word is, usually, used for death why we feel the need of and try to change it’s meaning in the case of Isa (as) the reason is only one – the ayaat-a-qurani are less important for us but ahadith have much importance. We have the courage to change the meaning of Quran but not able to leave the ahadith that stand against the Quran.

Let see is it a “muttawater & agreed” matter? And what meaning is taken of word “tuwaffa” by Aalims.

Molana abaidullah sindhi (very famous Aalim) is saying, in his tafseer (Illhaam ur rahman) for 3/55
“The meaning of “muttawafika” is death. And the ideology that Isa (as) is alive is only a “yahoodi” and “sa’aibee” perception. This concept penetrated in muslims by “yahoodi and irani”. They did not want the muslim pay attention over the ayaah of Surah Saff that the main purpose of revealing islam is to overpowered it (islam) over every other religion, they did not want the muslim act upon and every other religion minimized. So they gave the concept that it will be happened when Isa (as) will descend………………. the base is quran and quran have not any verse that indicating the descending of Isa (as)” (Illhaam ul Rehman, book 2)

Abaidullah sindhi said in his tafseer for 5/117 (after tafseer of ayah)

5/117. I did not say to them except what Thou didst command me: __ `serve God, my Lord and your Lord,' and I was a witness over them, so long as I remained among them; but when Thou didst take me, Thou Thyself wast the watcher over them; and Thou art a witness over all things.

“Due to the many of the researchers did not take the concept of descending of Isa (as) and Imam Mahdi as Ahl-a-Sunnat’s concept, for example there is no indication of these concepts in famous books “al muwa’qif” + “muqa’sid” and there is no criticism by exegesist or annotator of these books. It means the persons have such “Aqa’aid” did not think over deeply” (Illhaam ur Rehman)

3/55 Qa’taada and some other “mufasareen” said it means Allah will take him up and then give him death. Ibn-a-abbas said it means death. Tibri and some other mufasareen take the meanings as you (kadafi) have described. (Tafseer ibn-a-kaseer)

Let come to ayah of Surah Al Nisa that relate to this topic. This verse has much importance for those that have the “Aqee’dah” of descending of Isa (as)

4/159. And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being], before his ['Iesa (Jesus) or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them.

Is the word of this verse are claiming or there is any other ayah in quran tells us that Isa (as) will come again, indeed not. These are, only, the thinking and assumptions of peoples, every one assumes from different ayaat of Quran that He will descend, most probably this ayah.

Commonly take the meanings of the words before death – “at the time of the appearance of the angel of death” (as you took too) but it is not right, the ayah is not describing the time, so before death means there could be any time before death. And certainly it should be because ayah is not saying that their Aimaan will not be beneficiary for them, as saying in Quran

85/40. Then their Faith could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like) this has been the way of Allâh in dealing with His slaves. And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them).

It means they embrace Islam in proper time before their death, and would be called Momin.

Let see further, according to you, from the day when this event was happened every yahoodi or Isa’ee is “Momin”, because if you take the death of Isa (as) then He is alive (according to some sects) and up to the day He will die, every yahoodi or isa’ee will has brought “Aiman” over Him, and if you take the death of every yahoodi or isa’ee, the meanings are the same that every one will take Aiman proper time before one’s death. I have cleared above that their Aiman would, indeed, be beneficiary for them. Further you said Isa (as) would be witness against them, what for He would be a witness? When every one has brought Aimaan then what is the need of witness, is He the witness of their Aimaan? Certainly not, because ayah is clearly saying that witness would be against bad or wrong deeds so there would be some that considered “kafir” (it means the assumption that every one will become Momin is not right), but how Isa (as) could be a witness against those persons that died in between the period from taken up to descending?

5/117. "Never did I [Isa (as)] say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: 'Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things.

Further more the words “lay uminan’na ba’hee" لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ is clearly future sentence (not for past or present) so the verse is clear about that this is for those persons that were alive at that time and would be born after the revealing of this verse. And the other thing is Allah use the word “ahl-a-kitaab” than that of Nisara or Yahood.

So brother as I understand this verse its meaning is “amongst Yahood + Nisara (that were alive at revealing time of this verse and will be born afterward), every one from Ahl-a-Kitaab (but really able to called ahl-a-kitaab) would bring Aimaan over (that Isa (as) was the messenger of Allah and He was not hanged) before one’s death and would be the witness against those (that are insisting Isa (as) is the son of Allah or he was hanged) as Quran says

121/2. Those, to whom We gave the Book, recite it (i.e. obey its orders and follow its teachings) as it should be recited (i.e. followed), they are the ones that believe therein. And whoso disbelieves in it, those are they who are the losers.

83/5. And when they (who call themselves Christians) listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. They say: "Our Lord! We believe; so write us down among the witnesses.

4/159 In tafseer (bi’yaan ul quran) written by Molana Ashraf Ali Thaanvi sb, and the tafseer (tas’heel-a-bi’yaan ul quran) written by Molana Zafar Ahmed Usmani sb, there is not any indication of the descending of Isa (as) by both the persons though they are very famous “Aalim” of Ahl-a-Sunnah.


Let see another ayah of Quran, which presented in favour of descending of Isa(as)

43/59. He was only a servant whom We blessed and made him an example for the Children of Israel. And if We will, We would surely make some of you as angels to be successors in the earth. But indeed it is knowledge of the Hour, so do not have doubt concerning it, and follow me; this is a straight path.

The views or thinking of Thaanvi sb & Usmani sb for above ayaat are “the birth without father is an unusual matter (out of the way, not ordinary) as the Qiyaamat is unusual thing, so through this event Allah told us there could be happened something special beyond your imaginations.”

(Bi’yaan ul Quran by Molana Ashraf Ali Thaanvi sb, Tas’heel-a-Bi’yaan ul Quran by Molana Zafar Ahmed Usmani sb)

Let examine two ayaat of Surah Mariyam

19/15. And Salâm (peace) be upon him [Yahya (as)] the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life.

19/34. And Salâm (peace) be upon me [Isa (as)] the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised up to life. Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute).

Both the ayaat are about two messengers [Yahya (as) + Isa (as)] the words, the chain, the circle is same for the both i.e. born, death, rise up again. Is there any difference between? Certainly not, then what is the reason that we have been trying to add up a new portion in this chain in the case of Isa (as). The reason is only one, the ahadith about descending of Isa (as) that compel us to convert the ayaat of Quran according to ahadith. The principle is “present ahadith in front of Quran to know the exactness” but we present the ayaat in front of ahadith and try to change the meanings of ayaat according to ahadith.

Quran has not any verse that tells us that Isa (as) will come again in between us but we assumed due to some ahadith. Lets check the ahadith claiming that Isa (as) will descend for a short period.

Most of the ahadith relate to the topic reported by Zuhri, he narrate them from Saeed bin museeb and Nafay bin abbas and the both are from Abu Huraira (rt). And there is a little difference in the ravis after Zuhri.

1_Imam bukhari, ishaq bin Muhammad bin ismail, yaqoob bin ibrahim, ibrahim bin saad, salah bin Muhammad bin abi za’aida, ibn-shahab zuhri, saeed bin museeb, abu huraira (rt),

Allâh’s Messenger (saw) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely (‘Îsâ), the son of Maryam will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ân (as a just ruler); he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be no “Harb” Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Hurairah added: "If you wish, you can recite (4/159) "And there is none of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (i.e. ‘Îsâ (as) as a Messenger of Allâh and a human being) before His (Îsâ) or a Jew’s or Christian’s) death, and on the Day of Resurrection, He (as) will be a witness against them."

There are many ahadith in miscellaneous books on the topic but its only hadith that have the addition that “if you wish, you can recite 4/159………….”

Further more there are 21 famous copies of saheeh bukhari, for example Ferbary, Hamvi, Mustamly, Ibn-a-Asaaker, Surkhasi, Aseely, Sheikh Ibn-a-Hajar, not only kashmaiheeni, and all the other copies have the word Al harb but only kashmaiheeni said it is al jaziyah, why? Even the copy written by ibn-a-hajar has the word al harb. 20 copies are saying it is al harb and only kashmaiheeni is saying it is al jaziyah, so I will take the word al harb for bukhari’s ahadith.

To terminate of al harb mean “jihad” would be end and Isa (as) will perform his duty through “tableegh” only (as He done before), and if I assume for a moment it is al jaziyah then to terminate al jaziyah mean there would not be any other option for unbelievers to embrace islam, other wise they would be killed. It means Isa (as) will come with a new “sharia” not as the ummati of Muhammad (saw) because it would may al jaziyah or al harb both are the clear orders of Allah (rab ul izzat), and being a Ummati no one have any right to change or terminate any order of Allah. Kill the pig is also a new thing. The thing should always remain in front of you that Isa (as) duty was the same, mean a little change in “Deen-a-Moosavi” but He (as) called messenger of Allah not the Ummati of Moosa (as)

2_Imam bukhari, yahya bin Abdullah bin bakair, la’ees bin saad, younis bin yazeed ailee, ibn-shahab zuhri, nafay bin abbas, abu huraira (rt)
How will you be, when Isa (as) will descend amongst you and your “Imam” will be one of you.

3_Imam muslim, yahya bin Abdullah bin bakair, la’ees bin saad, younis bin yazeed ailee, ibn-shahab zuhri
How will you be when Isa (as) will descend amongst you and your “Imam” will be from you.

4_Imam muslim, Muhammad bin Abdullah bin muslim (zuhri’s nephew), la’ees bin saad, younis bin yazeed alilee, ibn-a-shahaab zuhri,
How will you be when Isa (as) will descend amongst you and He will be your “Imam”

5_Ibn-a-jareeg abdul mulk bin abdul aziz, abu zubair Muhammad bin muslim, jabber bin Abdullah (rt) (in muslim)
Muhammad (saw) reported, a “jamaat” in my umma will remain busy to fighting against unbelievers then Isa (as) would descend, the “ameer” of muslims will say Him come and lead in Namaz, He will say no, some of you will make your “ameer” , its an hounor by Allah for the umma.

The difference between above 4 ahadith is in front of you; He will be Imam or will not be. Three ahadith are saying He will not be Imam and if it is right then how He will terminate al jaziyah of al harb? Besides, sorry to say, I could not get any evidence from all these ahadith that Isa (as) offer the prayer as “muktadee” or not, he will offer the

6_Imam muslim, ubaid bin hameed, yaqoob bin ibrahim, ibrahim bin saad, salah bin Muhammad bin abi za’aida, ibn-shahab zuhri, saeed bin museeb, abu huraira,

7_Imam muslim, hassan halwani, yaqoob bin ibrahim, ibrahim bin saad, salah bin Muhammad bin abi za’aida, ibn-shahab zuhri, saeed bin museeb, abu huraira,

8_Imam tirmazi, qa,teeba bin saeed, la’ees bin saad, ibn-a-shahab zuhri

Allâh’s Messenger (saw) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely (‘Îsâ), the son of Maryam will shortly descend amongst you (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ân, he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jîzyah, Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.

9_Imam muslim, muhammad bin ramah, la’ees bin saad, ibn-shahab zuhri

12_Imam muslim, zuhair bin harab, sufiyaan bin ai’nia, ibn-shahab zuhri
13_Imam muslim, hurmala bin yahya, ibn-a-wahab, younis bin yazeed ai’lee, ibn-shahab zuhri
14_Imam ibn-a-maaja, abu baker bin sheeba, sufiyaan bin ai’nia, ibn-shahab zuhri,

Allâh’s Messenger (saw) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, surely (‘Îsâ), the son of Maryam will shortly descend amongst you, and will judge mankind justly by the law of the Qur’ân; he will break the cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jîzyah, Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it.

15_Imam muslim, qa’teeba bin saeed, la’ees bin saad, saeed al maqbari, atta bin meena, abu huraira (rt),

Whose hand my soul is, surely, Isa (as) will descend, break the cross, kill the pig and terminate the Jaziyah, there would be peace all over the world, the people leave there camels without any safety and no one will give them any harm.

16_Imam muslim, zuhair bin harb, mu;alla bin mansoor, sulaiman bin bilal, suhail, abu salah zekwaan, abu huraira (rt)

Hour will not come as long as ahl-a-room come at “aamaaq and wabiq” (places in shaam) then an army will appear from madina for defense consist of the best people of the world, when both will draw up their lines ahl-a-room will say to muslims aside between us and our those persons that have give up our religion but muslims reply, never, then fight will start, one third of the muslims will run away which can never be forgiven by Allah, one third will be “shaheed” these are better than any other shaheed in the eye of Allah, and one third will get “fatah”, the successor will never trialed and over come Qustuntunia easily, they would be busy in dividing the “ghaneemat” the “shaitaan” will cry Dijaal is appeared and reached to your home, they will return back but there will be nothing, then they come back to shaam then he will appear, the people getting ready to fight and drawing up the lines for Namaz Isa (as) descend, when the enemy of Allah (dijaal) will see Him melting like salt melt in water, if he leaved in the same condition certainly died but “Allah will kill him with His hand and show the blood of dijaal on His (Allah’s) tool or weapon to the muslims.”

17_Imam muslim, abaidullah bin mo’aaz ambri, mo’aaz ambri, shaubah, nauman bin saalim, yaqoob bin asim bin urwa bin masood saqfee, Abdullah bin umro (rt)

18_Imam muslim, muslim bin bashaar, Muhammad bin jafar, shaubah, nauman bin saalim, yaqoob bin asim bin urwa bin masood saqfee, Abdullah bin umro (rt)

It’s a very lengthy hadith like story of ameer hamza, consist of the things that are very surprising even not understandable, so I will discuss over the Ravis only.

19_Imam muslim, sufiyaan bin ai’nia, faraat al qazaaz, abu tufail (amir bin wasila), abu sareeha (hazeefa bin useed)

We were talking that Muhammad (saw) come to us and asked about topic, the people reply that we are talking about “Qiamat”, Mohammad (saw) said it will not come but after ten signs, smoke, dijaal, dabay, sun rise in the west, descend of Isa (as), yajoog & majoog, three “Khasoof” (moon eclipse) one in east, one in west, one at Arab and tenth sign is fire will appear from “Yaman” and bring the people at “maidaan-a-hashr)

20_Imam muslim, Muhammad bin bashaar, shaubah, faraat al qazaaz, abu tufail, abu sareeha,

We were sited out of Muhammad (saw) home and narrating such kind of ahadith then shauba said I think he (faraat) said that would be air will come where from the people come and stay wherever people will stay, (here shaubah said there was a person (unknown) that narrate this hadith but up it to abu sareeh not to Muhammad (saw) then said) one of them (person / faraat) said that would be descend of Isa (as) and the other said that would be air that bring the people in river.

21_Abu dawood, hadba bin khalid, hammam bin yahha, qa’taada, abdul rehman bin adam, abu huraira (rt),

No messenger between Isa (as) and Me (saw), He is near to descend, when you see him recognize, normal height pink colored in light yellow dress, his hear looking wet but not in real, he will fight against mankind for islam, break the cross, kill the pig and terminate the Jaziyah, all other Deen will be end by Allah but islam, and “dijaal” will be killed by Isa (as), Isa (as) will be died after fourty years.

22_Abu dawood from hannad and masdood and they both from abul akhwass, faraat al qazaaz, abu tufail, abu sareeha,

We were sited out side the Muhammad (saw) home and discussing, when we louder our voices Muhammad (saw) said “Qiamat” will not come but after ten signs, sun rise in the east, daaba, yajoog majoog, dijaal, descend of Isa (as), smoke, three “khasoof” one in east, one in west, one in arab, and the last sign is fire that appear from Yaman and bring the people to “maidan-a-hashr”

23_Imam muslim from zuhair bin harb and Muhammad bin mahraan, both are from waleed bin muslim, abdul rehman bin yazeed bin jabber, yahya bin jabber taee, abdul rehman bin jubair bin nafeer, jubair bin nafeer, Nawaas bin sam’aam,

24_Imam tirmazi, ali bin hajar, waleed bin muslim, abdul rehman bin yazeed bin jabber, yahya bin jabber taee, abdul rehman bin jubair bin nafeer, jubair bin nafeer, Nawaas bin sam’aam,

25_Imam dawood, sufwaan bin salah damishqi, waleed bin muslim, abdul rehman bin yazeed bin jabber, yahya bin jabber taee, abdul rehman bin jubair bin nafeer, jubair bin nafeer, Nawaas bin sam’aam,

26_Imam ibn-a-maaja, hashaam bin ammar, yahya bin hamza, abdul rehman bin yazeed bin jaabir, yahya bin jaabir taee, abdul rehman bin jubair bin nafeer, jubair bin nafeer, Nawaas bin sam’aam,

Too lengthy hadith and like “daastan-a-alif laila” or story of ameer hamza. Though this hadith is reported by the same Ravis the text of the hadith is different in different books. Due to Imam Tirmazi said this hadith has not any importance it is only a hadith of adbdul rehman bin yazeed bin jaabir.

The above ahadith are narrated by Nawaas bin sam’aan, so I want to present a brief description for Nawaas.

Nawaas bin sam’aan
Nawaas bin Sam’aan khalid bin Abdullah bin Abi baker bin Kalaab (Ibn-a-Hajar)
Nawaas bin Sam’aan khalid bin Abdullah bin Abi baker bin Kalaab bin Rabia (Ibn-a-Abdul bar)
Nawaas bin Sam’aan bin Khalid bin Umro bin Qurrah bin Abdullah bin bi baker bin Kalaab bin Sa’sah (Ibn-a-Aseer)
No one now his homes land even his clear identity as I described above. It is said he was from “Shaam” (where in Shaam no one know about) His father Sam’aan came to Muhammad (saw) with a gift (shoe) and get married his sister (unknown) with Muhammad (saw) but when Muhammad (saw) come to her she said “main tum say Allah ki panah mangtee hoon” so Muhammad (saw) leave her. There is nothing more than this. No one told Sam’aan accepted islam or not, when he came to Muhammad (saw), when Nawaas come to Muhammad (saw), when and where from he came, embrace islam or not, if accept then where he live after accepting islam. So all these things clearly indicating that it is only a forge name have not any physical existence. This name is created for such kind of ahadith.

27_Imam ibn-a-maaja, Muhammad bin bashaar, Yazeed bin haroon, Awaam bin khaushab, Jabla bin saheem, Mo’aser bin ghafara, Abdullah bin masood (rt)

28_Imam ibn-a-maaja, Ali bin Muhammad bin is’haq kofi, Abu Muhammad abdul rahman muhaarbi, Ismail bin ra’fai, Abu zarah shaibani, Abu imama bahilee (rt)

29_Imam ibn-a-maaja, Ali bin Muhammad bin is’haq kofi, Abu Muhammad adbul rahman muhaarbi, Abaidullah bin waleed al-saafi, Attia ao’wfee, Abu saeed (its Kalbi not abu saeed khadri (rt))

Most of the ahadith in Ibn-a-Maaja are too lengthy because these are consist of all the stories related to Dijjal, Imam Mahdi and Isa (as). It is difficult for me to write down them here, so you can read all these stories at one place (tafseer ibn-a-kaseer) in tafseer for ayah 159/4.

Now every one could easily analyze that most of the ahadith are narrating by Abu Huraira (rt) but every hadith is in difference words. When every one is taking this hadith from Abu Huraira (rt) then why there is a huge difference between the words of difference Ravies? There is some thing wrong at the end of Abu Huraira (rt) that He told a part to one person in different word and other part to another (that is not possible), or all these ahadith are created by Zuhri and some other persons and use the name of Abu Huraira (rt). I am agree with the second thing that these ahadith a forged by the name of Abu Huraira (rt) and some other Suhabah (rt). These kinds of ahadith have not any importance in the eye of Muhaddaseen. (Imams of Rijaal). It’s a principle that if 100 persons are narrating a hadith from one person the words of the 100 should be same, otherwise the hadith is not able to consider.

A brief description of Ravies

Most of the Ravies of topic related ahadith are strongly criticized by the knowledge-full persons (Imams of Rijaal) some examples are presenting blew.

Ishaq bin Muhammad,
Abu dawod said he narrate wrong ahadith with good name, nisa’ee said “matrooq ul hadith”, daar’qutni said “za’eef”, imam bukhari was criticized by his native muhaddaseen due to getting ahadith from ishaq,

Salah bin Muhammad,
“munkar-a-hadith”, za’eef, liar, (agreed)

Yahha bin Abdullah,
Abu hatim said he is nothing, nisa’ee said za’eef, yahya bin saeed said he is nothing, even imam bukhari said in Tareekh-a-Sagheer whatever he reported by “ahl-a-hijaaz” I cross that,

La’ees bin saad,
Got ahadith from every one with out any cross-examination, “muddallas”, yahya bin saeed al q’taan did not like him.

Younis bin yazeed ailee,
Imam ahmed said “munkar-a-hadith”, ibn-a-saad said he is nothing,

Nafay bin abbas,
This is the only hadith reported by Nafay, so the hadith narrated by Nafay has not any importance in the eye of Muhaddaseen.
