Return Of Jesus / Isa AS
All the points mentioned above are not supported by Quran in terms of Principle. It is a good motivational theory for those who already believe in second coming of Jesus (AS) but based on mere conjecture. – Quran does not describe dominance of Islam as a sign of Qiyamah. Instead, it is this rising of Gog and Magog that has been discussed by Quran, with Qiyamah happening at the moment when they will eventually be seen as tramping from everywhere which represents their complete dominance. For signs of Qiyamah, Please see: Discussion 30985 • Reply 36041 – There is no Quranic basis for implementation of Islam at a universal level. The verse usually used to support this actually represents law of itmam-e-hujjah but has been widely misconstrued to support this theory. i.e. وَقَاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنْ الْقَتْلِ وَلَا تُقَاتِلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِنْ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ كَذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ فَإِنْ انتَهَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ لِلَّهِ فَإِنْ انتَهَوْا فَلَا عُدْوَانَ إِلَّا عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ الشَّهْرُ الْحَرَامُ بِالشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْحُرُمَاتُ قِصَاصٌ فَمَنْ اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ (2: 190-194) And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight against you and do not transgress bounds [in this fighting]. Indeed, God does not like the transgressors. And kill them wherever you find them and drive them out [of the place] from which they drove you out and [remember] persecution is worse than carnage. But do not initiate war with them near the Holy Kabah unless they attack you there. But if they attack you, put them to the sword [without any hesitation]. Such disbelievers deserve this very punishment. However, if they desist [from this disbelief], Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. And keep fighting against them, until persecution does not remain and [in this land] Allah’s religion reigns supreme . But if they mend their ways, then [you should know that] an offensive is only allowed against the evil-doers. A sacred month for a sacred month; [similarly] other sacred things too are subject to retaliation. So if any one transgresses against you, you should also pay him back in the same coin. And have fear of Allah and keep in mind that Allah is with those who remain within the bounds set by Him. ( 2:190-4 ) – Duty of Shahdah was not in anyway abruptly shifted to Bani-Ismael. And whatever duty was shifted, it was completed by Sahaba as far as implementation of law of itmam-e-hujjah on nations directly addressed by Prophet Muhammad (sws) was concerned. Their only duty now is to use this itmam-e-hujjah as an argument and present it as a proof of Allah’s law and use Quran to preach and do Inzar on other nations. – Addition of any external person ( whether it be prophet Esa or Imam mahdi ) in essence undermines the authority of Quran i.e. Quran’s status as being the only Meezan now till the day of judgement and people seldom realize that.
