Re: Isa (AS), Quran and his second coming:
Allah has set laws and runs the universe according to those laws, anyhow, your claim that Allah is bounded by his laws, by interpreting statement ‘You will not see any change in Allah’s ways (17:77)’ is completely wrong, as that statement only refers to general rules but not rules for specific occasions. Allah is neither bounded by laws he made nor is he obliged to follow those laws. That is why we see many miracles mentioned in Quran, and whenever miracle happens natural laws get violated. It means, if one takes ayah 17:77 literally for everything then the ayah becomes contradictory to many ayahs of Quran that talks about miracles [from stick of Musa (AS) to birth of Isa (AS)].
What serious charge? I believe that Isa (AS) mission in his first coming was incomplete (as planned by Allah), that would get completed on his second coming (as planned by Allah). Anyhow, if you think Isa (AS) completed his mission, then can you please write down the mission of Isa (AS) in his first coming, and how it got completed?
Islam and laws of Islam belongs to Allah, and not to any prophet (AS). Humans (in spiritual form) were told everything about laws when Allah told to Adam (AS) at the time of his creation. Prophets are reminders of laws, and not giver of laws. All Prophets have knowledge of Islam from Allah and their knowledge is not time dependent. Well, that is my belief.
Just look at prayer of Ibrahim (AS) to see that what prophets bring, it is not theirs but whatever they brings belongs to Allah.
2:129 … Our Lord! and raise up in them an Apostle from among them who shall recite to them Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.
Clearly shows what Prophets do? They recite to people communications of Allah. So, it means, what prophets give to people do not belongs to them, but belongs to Allah.
As for Isa (AS) learning Quran: … Read the ayah:
5:110 … Ith qala Allahu yaAAeesa ibna maryama othkur niAAmatee AAalaykawaAAala walidatika ith ayyadtuka biroohialqudusi tukallimu annasa fee almahdi wakahlan wa-ith **AAallamtuka alkitaba wal hikma ta wat tawrata wal-injeela **wa-ithtakhluqu mina atteeni kahay-ati attayribi-ithnee fatanfukhu feeha fatakoonu tayranbi-ithnee watubri-o al-akmaha wal-abrasabi-ithnee wa-ith tukhriju almawta bi-ithneewa-ith kafaftu banee isra-eela AAanka ithji/tahum bilbayyinati faqala allatheenakafaroo minhum in hatha illa sihrun mubeen
Allah will say to Isa (AS): … I taught thee ‘The Kitab-ul-Hikmah’, and ‘The Tawrah’ and the ‘The Ingeel’.
Note: In Quran, Allah referred to Quran as ‘Kitab-ul-Hikmah’.
Above ayah shows that Allah not only taught Isa (AS) ‘Torah’ and ‘Injeel’ but also ‘Kitab-ul-Hikmah’.
Takfeeri scholars are kharjees. So, who cares about those who would go to hell?
Anyhow, no one is denying that Isa (AS) in essence would be Prophet always. Isa (AS) would not be Prophet in his second coming, not because in essence he is not prophet, but because he would not declare himself Prophet.
As for me twisting facts, I believe I am not, rather I believe I am writing everything straight and clear. ![]()
Why Isa (AS) could not be a Muslim, a follower of Prophet (SAW)? Any reason or it is your imagination?
Allah called him Prophet of Bani-Israel as he was prophet of Bani-Israel. Allah did not call him Prophet of ummat-e-Muhammad (SAW) because he would not be Prophet in his second appearance. So what troubles you, and why?
No, I do not think my example was wrong. Maybe you misunderstood me. Anyhow, let me give you another example that may be easy for you to understand.
Let say ‘A’ was teacher of maths. After retirement he joined computer class as student. So, in computer class, ‘A’ would be student and not teacher. In similar way:
Isa (AS) was Prophet of Bani-Israel. After finishing his job as prophet of Bani-Israel, Isa (AS) would appear as Ummati of Rasul-Allah (SAW). So, amongst Ummat-e-Rasul (SAW), Isa (AS) would be ummati and not Prophet.
