Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.

There are too many references to list here. You can look them up yourself, or I’ll try to find them and list them here when I have time. Basically, Jews believed that Elijah had physically ascended into the heaven in a chariot of fire. They also believed that he would physically descend from heaven to herald the coming of Jesus Christ. When Jesus Christ (AS) said that Elijah had already come, and John the Baptist was Elijah, no-one believed him because they wanted to see Elijah return in person, physically descend from heaven.

There are remarkable similarities between what the Jews believed and what the Muslims believe now. Both are, to this day waiting for the Prophets to physically descend from heaven.

And His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all things; 12 but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did *to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer *at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist. (Mathew 17:10)

Matthew 17 (NASB20) - And His disciples asked Him,

Peace brahmachari99

I’m glad that you have corrected yourself, it was not Isa(AS) that the Jews were expecting to descend, but Elijah. Now that you have kindly reintroduced the subject of Elijah (AS) …

Please can you translate the three Arabic names that I asked kchughtai to earlier translate:

Alyasa, Ilyaas, Yahya

The reason why I am saying this is because this is one of the areas where we can work out how the previous scripture was not on the button. Note: the statement “Then the disciples understood …” this is the opinion of the narrator and not a quote of either the disciples or Isa (AS).

When looking at the words of John the Baptist himself - he denies it.
