Hazrat Isa A.S.

Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.

Psyah,
I did read your earlier response. The point of contention wasn’t weather Friday meant this Friday, the next Friday, or Friday ten years from now. The difference in opinion simply was whether “Jummah” translates to “Friday” or to “Tuesday”.

The comparison in my opinion is appropriate, because according to you the word “tawaffa” attains special meaning only in case of Isa (AS) i.e., taking up whole body. For everyone else, it means “death.” The “taken up whole” meaning has no precedent and is never used for anyone else anywhere. This is exactly similar to what my friend’s position is about “Jummah”. When I asked him to show where “Jummah” has ever been translated as "Friday, he replied it means “Friday” for Zaid, Bakar, and everyone else, but when it comes to his buddy Saleem, “Jummah” means Tuesday. Well, sir, if “Jummah” indeed means “Tuesday” and “tawaffa” means “taking up the whole body”, then indeed there must be some prior examples of similar usage.
