Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.
So what if that event is yet to take place. See what is being said. It is fairly simple to get to the point. Can you briefly tell me the understanding of fourth part of Jesus’ answer to Allah. Why he said that ‘I was witness over them …’. what is the connection with the origional question of responsibility of practice of shirk among his people?
Before that part, he already had cleared himself of the responsibility of preaching shirk in fair amount of detail. 1) He couldn’t have said anything to which he had no right 2)He preached only what he was asked by Allah 3) He preached praying/bowing to Allah alone. but he did miss out an important piece of evidence in his favor i.e., he(Jesus(as)) corrected their beliefs on his 2nd coming after they deviated from the right path. He missed this important fact but went on to say that ‘As long as I was among them, I was witness over them but after Allah took him, only Allah was watcher over them’. From this answer, we can easily deduce that his people didn’t go astray under his careful watch and he was not aware of it, only Allah knew since only He was the watcher in his absence. Since there is no doubt of practice of shirk by his followers, we can say beyound doubt that the event of ‘Tawaffee’ has happened already. So if Tawaffe = death then Jesus(as) has already died.
