While describing the coming or descending of Christ negate the evil arguments of Mirza Qadiani that “I am like Christ.” Moreover, prove that coming of Christ is not contrary to the faith in ‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat’?

Question No.6:          While describing the coming or descending of Christ negate the evil arguments of Mirza Qadiani that “I am like Christ.” Moreover, prove that coming of Christ is not contrary to the faith in ‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat’?

Answer:          The two Ayahs reveal explicitly the coming of Isa Alaih-i-Salam:

(Nisa: 159)

(Zakhraf: 61)

Mulla Ali Qari (Rahmatullah Alaih) writes in this connection that :

“God’s saying, “Isa is a sign for the day of Judgement”, proves that Isa Alaih-i-Salam will descend. The saying also proves that the people of the book will believe in him after his descend and before his death. They will have faith in him near the Day of Judgement. All the followers of faith will merge into one nation (Millat). The Muslim nation.”

               In the same way, it is written in ‘Irshadal Sari,’ the explanation of Sahey Bukhari, that:

“There will be no one among the people of the Book who will not have faith in Christ before his (Christ) death. There will be people of the Book in the age of Christ, but all people will become part of Muslim Ummah. And Hazrat Ibn Abbas (Razi Allah-o-Anhum Wa Razu An) has stressed this ……”

Consensus of Muslim opinion on the existence and descend of

Isa Alaih-i-Salam

               From the time of the Sahaba (Razi Allah-o-Anhum Wa Razu An) (The companions of Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam) to the present day there has been consensus of Muslim opinion on the existence and descend of Isa Alaih-i-Salam. This consensus is based on the verses of the Holy Quran and ‘Ahadith’. Among the Muslim scholars no one ever has given a contrary opinion to it. Even the ‘Mautezala’, who have many contradictory opinion in many other matters, believed in it. Ibne Atia (Razi Allah-o-Anho) says:

“The whole Muslim Ummah has the consensus of opinion that Isa Alaih-i-Salam is alive on sky (heaven) and near the time of the Day of Judgement, he will appear as the ‘Ahadith matwatra’ proves.”

               There are more than hundred such Ahadith which have been narrated by more than 30 Sahaba (Razi Allah-o-Anhum Wa Razu An) (The companions of Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam). The name of these Sahaba (Razi Allah-o-Anhum Wa Razu An) (The companions of Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam) are as follows:

(1) Hazrat Abu Hurariah (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (2) Hazrat Jabar bin Abdullah (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (3) Hazrat Nawas bin Saman (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (4) Hazrat Ibne Umer (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (5) Hazrat Hazeefa bin Aseed (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (6) Hazrat Thoban (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (7) Hazrat Majma (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (8) Hazrat Abu Amama (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (9) Hazrat Ibne Masood (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (10) Hazrat Abu Nazra (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (11) Hazrat Samra (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (12) Hazrat Abdul Rehman (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (13) Hazrat Abu Altufail (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (14) Hazrat Ans (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (15) Hazrat Wasela (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (16) Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (17) Hazrat Ibne Abbas (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (18) Hazrat Aos (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (19) Hazrat Imran bin Hasain (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (20) Hazrat Aisha Razi Allah-o-Anha (21) Hazrat Safeena (Razi Allah-o-Anho), (22) Hazrat hazeefa (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (23) Hazrat Abdullah bin Maghfal (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (24) Hazrat Abdul Rehman bin Samrah (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (25) Hazrat Abu Saeed Khazri (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (26) Hazrat Ammar (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (27) Hazrat Rabey (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (28) Hazrat Arnah bin Royam (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (29) Hazrat Hasan (Razi Allah-o-Anho) (30) Hazrat Ka’ab (Razi Allah-o-Anho).

               The complete detail of the traditions by these narraters can be seen in ‘Altesrehay Bima Tawater Fi Nazool Almesehey.’ Hazrat Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri dictated this book and his pupil, Mufti Muhammad Shafi (Rahmatullah Alaih) compiled it in the best possible form.

               Mirza himself writes even Mirza Qadiani himself accepts that the ‘Ahadith Matwatra’ prove the descend of Christ. He writes: “It is crystal clear that the foretelling about the coming of Jasus, the son of Mary, is right foretelling to which everyone agrees. These traditions have the best possible continuity of narrators.” (Azala-e-Oham, p.231).

               In the same book Mirza Qadiani writes preceeding the above lines that ,“The Naturist of the present day, who have no respect for God and His Messenger SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam present the idea that the foretellings about the coming of Christ, that occur in ‘Saha Sita’, are wrong….. but the fact is that with the denial of these Ahadith, they are endangering their faith.”(Azala-o-Oham, p.230)

It is another matter that by distorting these Ahadith Mirza Qadiani wants to prove that he himself is the promised Christ

Qadiani’s hoax of being Like Christ.

               From birth to the time of lifting towards heavens, Christ’s life is open. And Mirza Qadiani has not the least resemblance with him. Christ was born without father. He made no house, nor he married. After his obscent he will be the ruler and justice. He will kill ‘Dajjal’. All the false faith will die in his time. There will be cross-worship no more and only God-worship will be the rule of the day. He will got to Damascus and ‘Baitul Muqaddas’. He will perform Hajj and Umrah (pilgrimage to the Holy Kaabah). He will die after 45 years of his descend. These are certain main signs. Mirza Qadiani does not have even a single of these signs. But in spite of this he claims his likeness with Christ. What a shamelessness is this.

Christ’s descend is not contrary to the faith in

‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat.’

               The bases of the Mirzaiat are laid on falsehood. So, to deceive

the Muslims they make an objection that whether after his second arrival Christ will be bestowed with Prophethood or not. If he comes as a Prophet, it injures the faith in ‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat.’ On the other hand, if he does not appear as a Prophet, it will mean that an Prophet has been disqualified for Prophethood. Both the situations are contrary to Islamic faith. The reply of this objection is as follows.Allama Mehmood Aaloosi (Rahmatullah Alaih) writes in his Tafseer, ‘Roohal Maani’

1-                             The meaning of ‘Khatimul Ambia’ is that no one will be made Prophet after Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. Isa Alaih-i-Salam was bestowed with Prophethood prior to Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. So, Christ’s reappearance is not contrary to the faith in ‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat’. Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam will remain the last prophet, because no new Prophet will come in the world.

2-                             As has been said earlier that Mirza Qadiani says himself the ‘Khatimul Aulad’. And his elder brother, Mirza Ghulam Qadir, was alive. If Mirza Qadiani is ‘Khatimul Aulad’ while his elder brother is alive, so Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam will remain the last Prophet even Christ is alive.

3-                             There is a Hadith in Asaker which says that Adam Alaih-i-Salam asked Jabrael Alaih-i-Salam that who Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam was He replied:

“He is the last of your issues among the Prophets” (Kinzal Amal, v.11, p.455, Hadith No.139).

  The tradition makes it clear that with the Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam Prophethood came to an end and no Prophet will come after Him SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam. In this way, the descend of Isa Alaih-i-Salam is not contrary to the concept of the ‘seal’ of Prophethood.’

4-                             Mirza Qadiani writes: “It was necessary that the man, with whom comes to an end the perfection of human beings, should be a ‘Khatmul Aulad’ that no perfect human being will be born by any woman.”

By ‘Khatamul Aulad’ Mirza Qadiani means that no perfect human being will be born later on. Why should not ‘Khatam-un-Nabiyeen’ have the same meaning, because now no woman will bear a Prophet out of her womb? There are three points in it. First is that there is no contradiction in ‘Khatm-e-Nubuwwat and the reappearance of Christ. Christ’s mother has already born Christ. Second, it also shows that if Mirza Qadiani has been born by a woman, then his Prophethood is contrary to the concept of ‘Khatam-un-Nabiyeen’. Third, it also depicts that the Christ who is to reappear will not be born by his mother. In this way Mirza Qadiani cannot be like Christ. Though Christ will appear, but he will not be a new Prophet, because he has been bestowed with Prophethood before Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam.

It can be understood with an example: For example, the President of a country goes to another country on a state tour. There is no doubt that he is the President of his country, but in the other country his orders and commands will not be valid for the people of that country. There will be another ruler or President of that country. In the same way when Christ reappears, he will be a Prophet, but as Quran says: “Arabic”, that his Prophethood was for the children of Israel (Bani Israel). His Prophethood will not be valid in the Holy Prophet’s SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam Ummah. Only the canon of Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam will be the rule of the day. Though it is another matter that both the Jews and the Christians will correct themselves after his reappearance. All will enter the circle of Islam.
