Re: Return of Hazrat Isa A.S.
Peace Mr. Popat
You wrote this:
*“Abu Na`eem related in “Hulya” from Anas(ra)that the Holy Prophet pbuh said that Allāh revealed to Prophet Moses [SUP]as[/SUP] that I shall throw all those in hell who come to me in a state that they rejected Ahmad [SUP]sa[/SUP]. Prophet Moses(as) asked, O God, who is Ahmad? Allāh said that he is the best amongst all the creatures and I wrote his name on throne before the creation of heaven and earth and none of my creatures can enter Paradise unless they become member of his Ummah. ***Prophet Moses(as) requested that O God, appoint me a Prophet of this Ummah. Allāh said that their Prophet shall be from amongst them. Prophet Moses (as)again requested that then make me a member of this Ummah. Allāh said that you are before them and they shall be after you, but I shall join you in the House of My Majesty.” (Al-Khasaisul Kubra by Allamā Jalaluddin Al-Sayyuti; & Nashr-ut-Tīb Fī Zikr-un-Nabī Alhabib, by Ashraf Alī Thanvi)
**Now please note how in this narration there is no mention of “possibility” … that is your interpolation. You said this hadith makes it impossible for a person to be an ummati of a future generation … this is not how I view it. It could just as well mean that you (Musa (AS)) are before them to go to the House of My Majesty they will follow you … Those who go before are leaders of those who follow … Allah (SWT) may be saying to Musa (AS) that he will die before they arrive … Whereas that is not the case with Isa (AS) … the point is this hadith is specific to Musa (AS) … it cannot be used as premise to deem something impossible … the sciences of hadith do not work like that you have to take in to consideration all of the hadith … so before me I see many hadith on nuzul of Isa (AS) and this hadith and for me they do not conflict and I reconcile them - you are not doing that … you are rejecting many hadith over this one hadith because of your own biased position.
By biased I mean you are being unfair to whole picture of hadith around this topic.
-
People are known by their names and the names of their fathers except Isa (AS) who is known by the name of his blessed mother Maryam (AS) … so if anywhere in hadith it states Isa ibn Maryam … you can be sure it is the same Isa (AS).
-
No … the reason why I believe as I do is because the books of 'aqeedah say so which were written way before any people claimed to be Masih born again.
-
I wanted to avoid talking about someone else … but you see the greater problem is that you want me to believe that someone who was not named Isa should be taken as Isa (AS) … nor was he named Muhammad that I take him as Mahdi (AS) … and you want me to believe that both Isa and Mahdi are one … Furthermore the belief I have of Isa (AS) coming again is shared throughout the Abrahamic religions and even moreso we have been warned of imposters 40 of them before the advent of Messiah … Then we need to look very closely at the claimants when they make their claims … Prophets are beautiful physically as well as their persona … then we look to see which of the hadith are being confirmed and coming true at their hands … and the last thing we want is our belief in miracles to be reduced to clock work science … only so reinterpretation becomes accepted … then we always look to the majority of scholars and we do what they do … so it presents a much bigger problem to do other than what I am doing.
