Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.
Just like how in urdu, or in any language we say ‘utha liye gaye’, or ‘allah ke paas chale gaye’, or ‘guzar gaye’ or ‘chal basay’ or ‘wafaat pa gaye’, they all mean the same thing. I do not know why you keep arguing about the word, as i have mentioned more than 5 verses from Quran which uses the same word tawaffee. I would like to kindly draw your attention to those verses and humbly ask you to give me an explanation on why in all the other verses where that word is used, you take it as death but only use ‘bodily ascension’ for Jesus (AS)? Terms may be different but they both mean the same thing. Taken up, passed away, death.. my friend… all means the same thing. In the verse where Allah says ‘raise thee’, you again think it means raise him bodily, while theres no mention on bodily ascension. Allah raises ones status upon death , depending on their deeds. Same was done for Jesus(AS) too. Allah raised his status as a prophet and have given higher importance in Quran. Quran does not need to explicitly say it for us to know that He(as) is already been given death. Quran does not explicitly declared each and every prophet mentioned in quran as dead.. do you think they are all bodily alive.. no , right? then why is it that, despite many evidences, you still keep questioning?
i’m glad you agreed. Though even then, you insist that Jesus(as) happens to be the only exception who has been living in 2012 somewhere in the outer space/heaven.
The hadith in which prophet Muhammad PBUH talked about his descend from heavens should not be taken literally. Muhammad PBUH could not bring down a book from heaven for the disbelievers to read. When Allah says descend for any living being, He means he will give them birth on Earth but the spirit of it will be heavenly. The word descend or nazul is used in quran for various things, not to be taken as physically coming from heaven but merely someone FROM Allah.
You see my friend, you are giving importance to the master At-Tahawi and believing in him of whatever he said. The only difference between people like me and you is that we give more priority to Quran, the final word of Allah to mankind, ahadith and sunnah. If Allah and his messenger did not declare him alive, then theres no reason why one should just keep following someone who made this belief a criterion of your belief.
You calling that lame argument which makes perfect sense and which can be backed up with evidence.. and not calling it lame that you believe on one hand no one can come after Muhammad PBUH, and still believing Jesus(as) to be alive and him going to heavens alive, while Muhammad PBUH was born in front of Him, became adult while Quran was being revealed to Him, and died.. but Jesus(as) for some reason is still up above somewhere watching it all and it to you seems to be making sense. Brilliant.
