What are you talking about? are you laughing because you didn’t understand what I was saying.
I think you either didn’t bother to read what I said or it didn’t sink in.
I was trying to show you that muslims have committed the same mistake what Jews did regarding Jesus(as). Let me give you a recap:
- They (Jewish people) are also waiting for a Prophet Elijah (as) to descend from heavens who will tell them about Messiah
I can provide you quote from the old testament regarding the coming of Elijah(as)
So Muslims and Jews both have been waiting for a prophet to descend from heavens.
In case of Isa(as)[No doubt him being the messiah for jewish people and a true prophet] but still Elijah didn’t descend from heavens. instead Yahya (as)[who was born like a normal human being] was presented as the promised Elijah.
So we have strong precedent of someone considered raised to heavens and was supposed to return from heavens to harbinger the coming of Messiah but the prophecy didn’t materialize literally as is. prophet yahya (as) was sent in the name of the promised Elijah and the Jews failed to understand the message hidden in the prophecy.
This point was a strong argument by the jews who rejected Jesus.
Can you provide any precedent of someone taking up alive to heavens and returning bodily from the history of prophets?
-
Muslims and Jews are of the view that the messiah will bring peace to the world and both reject the respective messiahs saying there is no peace yet.
-
Both Muslims and Jews think that they are already on the right path and need no one to guide them and mission of the messiah will be political and military oriented.
