Re: James Cameron reveals remains of Jesus and family?
Prophet s.a.w delivered to mankind the Islam which Allah Ta'ala had revealed to him, it is understood there by that he handed to the world a set of beliefs and practices of Islam. He did not leave Islam as an a m- biguous concept subject to the understanding and interpretations of the multitudes of people.
It is only logical and a simpl e fact to understand that the beliefs and practices of the Sahaabah and the early Muslims of the *Khairul Quroon *(the Three noblest Ages of Islam) constitute I s- lam, and that only their Beliefs and Practices are authentic and valid. Any belief or practice which conflicts with the *Aqaai d and A'maal *of the Sahaabah will not be part of Islam.
Islam is not an interpretation of the Qur'aan which modernists or deviates of this age present. Irrespective of how much the inte r- pretation may appeal to and appease the western mind and the western intellectual masters of the modernists, it will never be part of Islam if it cannot be substantiated on the basis of the Ijma' of the Ummah.
**Ijma ' *on the Beliefs centering around Hadhrat Isaa (alayhis s a- laam) are structured on the basis of the Qur'aan and Ahaadit h-e-Mutawaatirah ? the highest category of authentic and reliable Ahaadith. Refuting the belief of Hadhrat Isaa having died, the Qur'aan Majeed declares with the greatest emphasis and un am-biguity:
*And (the punishment they received) was because of their claim: ?Verily, we have killed the Maseeh, Isaa, the son of Maryam who was the Rasool of Allah'. (However), they neither killed him nor crucified him, but they (the Yahood) were thrown into confusion (regarding Hadhrat Isaa)..And most ce r- tainly they did not kill him. On the contrary, Allah lifted him up to Him. And, Allah is Mighty, The Wise.? (Surah Nisaa, aayat **157) *.
*
The Qur'aan in this aayat categorically rejects the claim of the death of Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam). The Yahood had c l aime d that they had killed Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam). Vehemently r e- futing this claim the Qur'aan affirms the ascension of Nabi Isaa into the Heavens. There is absolutely no difference of opinion among the Authorities of Islam on this belief. It is a n *Ijmaaee *Belief that this aayat confirms the physical ascension into the Heavens of Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam). This is the belief of t h e Mu'minee n ? the unanimous belief from the earliest time of I s- lam. Any Mulhid who in his stupidity is so audacious as to deny the fact that these beliefs are based o n *Ijma ' *of the Ummah, should produce his proof in refutation of this claim we are making.
The Qur'aan sta tes :
**O Isaa! I shall cause you to die, and I shall raise you to Me, and I shall exonerate you from the unbelievers?? (Surah Aal - e - Imraan, aayat 55)* *
There is complete unanimity of the Mufassireen and Authorities of Islam regarding the meaning of this aayat. They all state wi t h- out any difference that Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam) was lifted alive and physically into the Heaven. The Authorities of Islam unanimously aver that Allah ?will cause Hadhrat Isaa to die? before Qiyaamah after his descent to earth. It is only mulhideen who have taken up the cause of the Qadiani impostor, Mirza Gulam Ahmad. After thirteen centuries of complete unanimity in the beliefs pertaining to Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam), Mirza, the impostor presented his kufr misinterpretation and opinion of Isaa's death, etc. The mulhideen in our day are all the muqal-lideen of the dajjaal, Mirza of Qadian.
