Return of Hazrat Isa A.S.

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.

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
