Zalim dear , Firstly can you quote a verse in the Qur’an other than 5:117 where the Arabic word, “tawaffaitani” as written, is being used, and translated in the English language other wise, as you tried to conclude earlier and insist I did not address it, when I said is was baseless argument and one should cross refrence with eralier scriptures for a better understanding.
That should answer your question, since now you will have to do your home work, not give me work to do.

and when it comes to other prophets it is different.

Ibrahim says: Because Christ (pbuh) was not like any other Prophet.
1) all prophets had to live on the planet as common man for 40 years before being anointed to Prophet hood.
2) Because Christ (pbuh) preached from Birth and was Spirit and Word from Allah (swt)
3) Christ (pbuh) did not have a father and was a word that became flesh, just like Adam (as)
4) because Christ (pbuh) was a SIGN for mankind , meaning when ever he will be sent, man will be able to acknowledge Allah (swt) as their only Creator and any doubts they had will disappear.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith Hadith 4.506 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet said, "When any human being is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, ** except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed,** for he touched the placenta-cover instead."

Why there is hypocrisy?

Ibrahim says: what hypocrisy are you talking about? It seems your understanding is erroneous and lacking, as such you see, hypocrisy where there is none.

You think Christians are right that’s why in the light of Gospel you are interpreting it like that?
[/quote]
Ibrahim says: hello, Muslims understand Islam in light of what is revealed in the Qur’an and conveyed by the Prophet of Islam, and I use all scriptures to understand the events that had taken place in the past, I quoted a hadith and asked you, did the Prophet(pbuh) erred or not??? Did you have any answer or are you going to sing your song only??

Also please shed some light on this remark of mine. Zalim says: Somehow Ahadith – the collection of the Traditions of the Holy Prophet(sa) has covered each and every subject of Quran and in some book has been dealt at great lengths. Amazingly all these books of Ahadith and Sunnah are silent on the issue of Jesus alive ascension to Sky.. none claim the story as today’s Muslims narrate. (GOT REFERENCE?)
[/quote]
Ibrahim says; Simply because the Prophet of Islam was sent to establish Islam, not to promote Christ (pbuh) miracles , Christ had his time and when his time was over, people ended up calling him son of God because of such miracles and today many call upon Jesus instead of Allah, whom Christ himself worshipped as written in the Gospels. Thus the Arabs were only given the message that dealt with establishing Islam, whatever mistakes made by earlier generations have been corrected in the Qur’an and revealed to the Muslims.
Second when even the miracles performed by the Prophet of Islam is not highlighted by the Muslims, why would they than be talking about what happened to Christ?
Third
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith Hadith 4.657 Narrated by Abu Huraira
** Allah's Apostle said,** "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, ** surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). ** Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) ** But must believe in him** (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7)
Read!
4: 159 And there is none of the People of the Book ** but must believe in him before his death; ** and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them
Ibrahim says: hence any Muslim who did not believe that Christ was a Spirit and WORD from Allah (swt) that turned flesh and was sent as a SIGN for mankind and cannot be harmed by mankind and had been RAISED up, when they tried to harm him, by Allah (swt) to be SENT down again is not a Muslim but a deviant.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith Hadith 5772 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Salam
The description of Muhammad is written in the Torah and also that ** Jesus, son of Mary, will be buried along with him** . AbuMawdud said that a place for a grave had remained in the house.
Tirmidhi transmitted it.

As it is evident from the pages of History that every Nation of Every Prophet has lost the real essence of their teachings and so are the Muslims..
[/quote]
Ibrahim say : what a silly statement! , so long as the Qur’an is present on this planet, the teachings of Islam are INTACT, when the Qur’an disappears, due to any one trying to alter it , that is the time when Islam will be lost on this planet. Just as what took place in ancient times and to earlier revelations. .
[quote]
to support their beliefs that Jesus Ascended to Haven and Will descend down in later days, Muslims have crafted a fairy tale by picking up one word from Quran and One word from Ahadith i.e Rafa (as physical ascension) from Quran and Nazul (as Physical descent) from Ahadith.
[/quote]
Ibrahim says: you mean that is what you teacher who came into being a 113 years ago taught you? Whereas Muslims for 1423 years have the same understanding as Christians concerning Christ and the Christians will claim their is 2000 years old
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 4.652 Narrated by Abu Huraira
** Allah's Apostle said,** "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. ** The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one." **
Ibrahim says; ** And No man or prophet will have two mothers or fathers, ** thus when Christ will be buried next to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) are you claiming he is going to be born by another father and mother? Thus he will descend, and that can only be done by those that had ascended by the Grace of Allah (swt)
[quote]
If you still think there is no error than keep lurking. However I have more contradiction to your concept of Jesus Alive Ascension.. buckle up !
[/quote]
Ibrahim says: ah yes like you tried to claim Jesus was buried (his grave) in Kashmir and when asked was his grave 13 feet long you disappear for good, right? Yes I will buckle up when I think, I need to, but not because of an ahamedi making his silly claims of prophet hood and Muslims being in error for 1310 years and suddenly a false prophet revealed the truth.
Work on this hadiths………..
Sahih Muslim Hadith Hadith 6931 Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari
** Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion) He said: ** What do you discuss about? (the Companions) said: We are discussing about the Last Hour. Thereupon he said: ** It will not come until you see ten signs** before and (in this connection) he made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, ** the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him), ** The Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith Hadith 4.658 Narrated by Abu Huraira
** Allah's Apostle said "How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur'an and not by the law of Gospel ** (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 Vol 7).
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4310 Narrated by AbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him).** He will descent (to the earth). ** When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years ** and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.**
Ibrahim says; so carry on with you delusions, the ones invented by shaitan and his followers, but Muslims know better than ahmedis and Allah (swt) knows best .
Was salaam
