Hazrat Isa A.S.

Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.

@Mr.Popat

Ok rafa’a primary use is physical. For you, it must be.. but for Allah, the way He revealed Quran, and the grammar in which the word is used in quran many verses mean, to uplift/raise/exalt ones status. I’m glad you didnt bring back the issue of the word tawaffa.

Case is even more clear. You see, even this is the plan of Allah. When he declared islam for us as our religion, he also said he has made his deen complete. So, there is nothing left to be said. This hadith is in affirmation of the ahadith presented above. Yes, Muhammad PBUH did not say Jesus(as) was of red complexion, the one who will kill dajjal, but rather of brown complexion. The hadith is not rejecting the miraj event of Muhammad PBUH seeing Jesus(as) of red complexion but rather Jesus who will kill dajjal. He(as) wont be reddish, but brown.
JazakAllah for that hadith.

PS: my question is, who is that person who is mentioned in more than 5 ahadith? the one of brown complexion ? why is he being called Isa ibn e maryam by angels and people (in holy prophet’s dream) ?

Peace Mr.Popat

You’ve done it again … LOL you have compromised your own belief system. The basis behind the two descriptions of Isa (AS) is that you assert that the reddish description was the first Isa (AS) and the brownish description is the new Isa (AS) trying to claim that they were two different people … but now you say it is even more clear - yes indeed - but not in your favour … The only valid description of Isa (AS) ibn Maryam (AS) … is that he is wheatish in complexion and there is never a second description but the translations have come about in a variety of ways.

The primary use of rafa’a is not according to me - it is according to the lexicon which is in accordance with Arabic.

To illustrate the Qur’an’s use of this … we can go to Surah Bakarah verse 63

And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], “Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous.”

Verse 93

And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], “Take what We have given you with determination and listen.” They said [instead], “We hear and disobey.” And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, “How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers.”

And to show that I’m not hiding anything I can show you examples of the allegorical raf’a … which is always used in the Qur’an with the word darajaat …

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit. If Allah had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allah had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allah does what He intends.

It is opinion of the Ahl-us-Sunnah that Isa (AS) was raised in status by being physically raised one complementing the other.
