Isa (AS) dead or alive. In the light of Quran and Hadith.

Mr Popat.

I won’t give the exact quotations but am aware of the books that the information is in.

If Umar ibn Al Khattaab, as described in Sahih al Bukhari, refused to give a pen and a paper to the Prophet Mohammed PBUH when he asked for it, with the excuse that ‘The Qur’an is enough for us’, then we are not obliged to follow the opinion of Umar, to deny the paper and the pen to Mohammed, by virtue of the same argument, ie, that ‘The Qur’an is enough for us’.

As Muslims we are to place Quran as the most authentic book and the final word of Allah. Whatever contradicts Quran should not be followed, whether it be hadith or sunnah. All Muslims follow this rule.

@Seyyed_Naqvi

There is a popular belief however that states The Prophet Mohammed said ‘I am leaving behind two things, The Qur’an and The People of my House’. The family are therefore considered to be the people of the house and Mohammed PBUH said ‘they will not separate from each other until the Judgement Day’.

Theres also a hadith believed to be said by Prophet Muhammad SAW, he said.. there will be a time when nothing will be left of islam but its name, nothing will be left of Quran, but its scripture. The mosques will be filled by a lot of people but it will be lacking the true knowledge of Islam. Their leaders will be one of the worst creatures under the sky. Then, one or more people from persian origin will bring the imaan back.

@Seyyed_Naqvi

It is therefore not enough to go on your own interpretation of The Qur’an and use it alone as evidence without the express opinion of The People of The House who are none other than The Family of Mohammed PBUH

Sir, this is not my own interpretation. In fact where ever I quoted a Quranic verse, I do not see anyone saying its my own made up interpretation and no one has even given me the right interpretation either,if they said it was wrong.. I am eager to know where i misinterpreted any verse of Quran.

Yes we do send durood to Muhammad and His family. Muhammad SAW’s spiritual family are everyone who accepts him as the true prophet.

God gave ‘food’ to Noah for a period of nearly a thousand years for which The Quran expressly states was the age of Noah prior to his death.

**It is not impossible therefore by virtue of the Miracles that are described in The Qur’an that Jesus could be kept alive by God for a similar or even longer amount of time. **

Sir, think about it.. Quran has stated what blessing Allah has given to Noah (AS) but no where in Quran is it said that Jesus (AS) is kept alive. Such a huge event of His (AS)'s ascension to skies and theres not a single hint one can found from Quran?

Lets take it a step further for argument sake.. lets say if there was any verse stating His (AS) ascension to skies.. we know He (AS) will have to come back then. Once he (AS) comes and dies on Earth, will that verse of Quran stating His (AS)'s second arrival/ascension to skies be nauzubillah be discarded? ( since by then, He AS must have arrived on earth and have already given death? ) What will happen to the verse stating His (AS) ascension ? Quran is here never to be changed.

Furthermore, the importance of the geneology with regard to Mohammed and his Family is undeniable and all the Muslims of the world mention ‘Aale Mohammed’ in their prayers, which makes it all the more likely, through virtue of Quranic Metaphore and parallel, that there is just as much possibility for them to be gifted with the capacity to live as long as if not longer than Noah and Jesus.

On one hand Quran is saying this : * [36:69] And him whom We grant long life — We revert him to a weak condition of creation. Will they not then understand?*
It is not a gift to grant someone longer life than others. Everyone has their own times. Prophet Muhammad PBUH died at the age of 63.

On other hand, as stated in the above verse, whomsoever Allah grants long life, he turns him into a weak condition ( like of a child ). If Jesus (AS) must be living at this moment, he must be very old. This again contradicts your belief of Him coming back exactly how he (AS) was taken up.

@Seyyed_Naqvi

The argument for Jesus being dead is one that is used solely to justify The Mehdiship of ‘The Prophet of Punjab’, Mirza Qadiani, a Mughal by caste and relative of Ghenghis Khan in the light of it.

To all my Sunni Muslim brothers and sisters. That’s what you get when you take leaders OTHER than The Family of Mohammed to take control. A pear shape.

Allah o Akbar.

Not necessarily. The whole point of raising the issue of Isa (AS) death is to make people think based from Quran. Infact, this issue if solved will make your own position stronger of your interpretation of khataman nabiyeen, if you think about it. If you believe in Jesus (AS)'s death, your position of interpreting Khaatam as the ‘last’ gets stronger. But then again, you will not accept His death solely because then the whole new concept of a reformer stated in ahadith will need clarification.
