4.JesusDied-LastLawGiving+SealOfProphets-KhatamanNabiyeen-Holy Quran-Promised Messiah Mahdi (a.s.)

DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you…. In continuation of previous posts on the subject, following explanations are based on explanations by Hazrat Promised Mesiah (on whom be peace).

ITEM # 12
[Holy Quran, chapter 22 : verse 6]
“……wa minkum ma’in-yotawaffa wa minkum ma’in yuraddo elaa arzalil omoray lakaila ya’lama mim ba’day ilmin shay’aa……”

‘…….and there are some of you who are caused to die [prematurely] , and there are others among you who are driven to the worst part of their life [with the result] that they know nothing after [having had] knowledge……’ (22:6)

Explanation:
In this verse, Allah the Exalted says that his-way for you is of two types. Some of you die before natural limit and some reach to natural limit in such way that they return to worst part of their lives with the result that they know nothing after having had knowledge………..The words of verse tell that getting very long life, moves a person to utmost weakness and worst life which makes him like a child and then he dies. Thus Jesus (a.s.) can not live so long, till now.



ITEM # 13
[ch2 : v37]
“……..wa lakum fil arzay mustaqarun wa mata’un elaa heen.”

‘…….and for you there is an abode in the earth and the provision for a time.’ (2:37)

Explanation:
You will live in earth with khaki body till you complete your days of benefit. The verse stops a khaki body to go to heavens as the word ‘lakum’ in the verse makes specification that khaki body cannot go to heavens but it emerges from earth, live at earth and enter into earth.

To go for space journies, human needs earthly-environment which they bring with them. Earth and space and other planets are belong to same physical system.



ITEM # 14
[ch36 : v69]
“wa man no’ummirho nonakkisho fil khaq…….”

‘And him whom We grant long life, We revert him to a weak [condition of] creation…….’ (36:69)

Explanation:
Human powers and faculties weaken as they age; senses and wisdom decrease. If Jesus (a.s.) is considered to be still alive with khaki body, then by now, his human faculties must have become very weak. This deterioration implies he must has died long ago.



ITEM # 15
[ch 30 : v 55]
“allahullazi khalaqakum min dhofin thumma ja’ala mim ba’day dhofin qoowatan thumma ja’ala mim ba’day qoowatin dhufan wa shaybah…….”

‘(It) is Allah Who created you in (a state of) weakness, and after weakness gave strength; then after strength, caused weakness and old age…………...’ (30:55)

Explanation:
No human is outside of this law of nature which is mentioned in this verse. The era affects each living creature, and they get senile and aged and then they die. Same is true for Jesus (a.s.).



ITEM # 16
[ch 10 : v 25]
“innamaa mathulhayatiddunya kamaa’in anzalnaho minassamaa’ay fakhtalata behi nabayul arzay mimma yakolunnaso wal’anaamo………”

‘The likeness of present life is only as water which We send down from the sky, then there mingles with it the produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat……..’ (10:25)

Explanation:
Example of human is like produce, first it grows to perfection then it decline gradually. Jesus (a.s.) is not out of this law of nature.



ITEM # 17
[ch 23 : v 16]
“thumma innkum ba’da zaaleka lamaiyetoon.”

‘Then after that you must surely die.’ (23:16)

Explanation:
Again it tells that human get their perfection then they decline then they die. May All-Powerful God help people to understand that Jesus (a.s.) was under this law too.



ITEM # 18
[ch 39 : v 22]
“alam tara annallaha anzala menas samma’ay maa’an fasalakahu yanabi’a fil arzay thumma yukhrayjo behi zar’an mukhtalayfan alwanohu thumma yohijo fataraho musfarran thumma yaj’alohu hotaman inna fi zaaleka lazikraa la’olilalbab.”

‘Has you not seen that Allah sends down the water from the sky, and casues it to flow in (the form of) steamlets in the earth and then brings forth thereby herbage, varying in its colours? Then it dries up and you see it turn yellow; then he reduces it to broken straw. In that verily is a reminder for people of understanding.’

Explanation:
Here too by way of example, it is mentioned how human like herbage reach to its perfection and then die.



ITEM # 19
[ch 25 : v 21]
“wa maa arsalna qablaka menal mursaleena illa innahum la yakolun atta’ama wa yamshoona fil aswaq………..”

‘And We never sent any Messengers before you but surely they ate food and walked in the streets…………’ (25:21)

Explanation:
Food is among the essentials of life. Thus, because all Prophets do not eat food now therefore they are dead, including Jesus (a.s.).



ITEM # 20
[ch 16 : v 21-22]
016-021.png

===================================================
016-022.png



“wallazina yad’oona min doonillahey la yakhloqoona shay’an wa hum yukhlaqoon.

Amwatun ghairo ahya’in wa maa yash’oroona aiyyana yubathun.”

‘And those on whom they call beside Allah create not anything, but they are them selves created.

(They are) dead, not living; and they know not when they will be raised.’ (16:21-22)

Explanation:
These verses are very clearly arguments for the death of Jesus (a.s.) and all those people who were considered deity and help was seeked from them at that time’s some Jews, some Christains and some sects of Arabia.

Hazart Promised Messiah Mahdi (a.s.) concludes that even now, not accepting death of Jesus (a.s.) is like hesitating about what Holy Quran says.



ITEM # 21
[ch 33 : v 41]
033-041.png


‘Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah and khataman nabiyeen……..’ (33:41)

Explanation based on ruhani khazain, volume 18 and volume 23:

i-Muhammad (s.a.w.) is khataman-nabiyeen in the meaning that all excellences of Prophethood are made perfect at him (s.a.w.).

ii-There is no new Prophet-with-new-Shariah (religious law) after him.

iii-There is no Prophet after him who is not his Ummati. One who gets immense dialogue with God, gets it due to full obedience of Muhammad (s.a.w.) and gets spiritual colour of Muhammad (s.a.w.) and is Ummati-Prophet, not an permanent-Prophet.

iv-Muhammad (s.a.w.) is not the father of any man of world, but

v-He is spiritual father of spiritual men Because He is khataman nabiyeen and

vi-Now there is no way to get blessings of Allah except through Muhammad (s.a.w.).


= Nabi [Prophet] is the one who gets news of hidden from God and conveys to people.

= Nabi [Prophet] is necessarily a Rasul [Messneger] because if Nabi is not Rasul then news of pure hidden cannot come to him as the Holy Quran says:
“…..la yuzhayro alaa ghaybehee ahadan – illa manirtazaa mir rasulin…..” (72:27-28)
‘….He reveals not His secrets to any one – Except to him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger (of His)…….’ (72:27-28)

= If there is to be no Prophet (in above sense) after Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) that would mean, Ummah would have no immense dialogue and addresses from God any more. Beacause if immense hidden news are revealed to any one, he would be a Prophet [Messenger] according to (72:27-28).

= The one who is sent from God the Exalted he is Rasul [Messneger].


= The distinctions are following:

----- After Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) till Qaiyammah [Herafter] there would be no-Prophet-with-new-Shariah [religious law].

----- A new Prophet would break the Seal [khataman nabiyeen].

----- If Hazrat Esa [Jesus, (a.s.)] comes again, he would break the Seal; he a was previous, separate Prophet of Moses’ chain.

----- On the other hand, following verses of Holy Quran are foretelling continuity of Prophethood due to blessings of Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) :
“ehdayna asseyrat almustaqeema – Seyrat allazina anamta alaiyhim…….” (ch 1 : v 6 - 7) i.e.
‘Guide us in the right path – The path of those on whom You has bestowed Your blessings………’ (ch 1 : v 6 - 7)

Here, this Ummah is given promise of all blessings of previous people.

These blessings included Prophethood and Siddique-ness [Truthfulness] and others. “And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger shall be among those (on whom be peace) Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And excellent companions are these.” (ch 4 : v 70)

Prophethood and prophecies of hidden are among these blessings.
But
‘….He reveals not His secrets to any one – Except to him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger (of His)…….’ (72:27-28)

Result: Therefore, continuity of pure hidden news and Prophethood [Messengership] are among destined blessings for this Ummah.

But, Then How?

Peace be upon you.
But, Then How?

This answer is given in Surah Jumua, chapter 62:

062-003.png


[62:3] “He it is Who has raised among the unlettered (people) a Messenger from among themselves who recite unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom though before that they were in manifest error.”




062-004.png


[62:4] “And (among) others of them who have not joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.”

These two verses are clearly telling the two comings of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.);
firstly in unlettered people and

secondly in ‘others who have not joined them...... [‘them’ are the ones who were present at the time of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)']


This second comming has been explained by none other than Holy Prophet (s.a.w.):
Says Hazrat Abu Hurairah (r.a) :
One day we were sitting with Holy Prophet when Surah Jumua was revealed. I enquired from the Holy Prophet, “Who are the people to whom the words,
“And among others who have not yet joined them” refer?” Salman, the Persian was sitting among us. Upon my repeated asking him the same question the Holy Prophet put his hand on Salman and said, “If faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man from these would surely find it.
[Bukhari]


This person is the person who is known as Promised Messiah [by virtue of Ahmad] and Mahdi [by virtue of Muhammad].

Destiny of God, his love, obedience, loyalty, purity has made him spiritually and metaphorically lost in his beloved master, Muhammad (s.a.w.).

The same beloved servant is mentioned in:
[ch 108 : v 2]
“Surely We have given you Al-Kauther”.
[Kauther means: abundance of something, Blessed Leader of people, A Man who is generous and who spreads goodness in world.]

Some Sayings of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) tell that the name of Mahdi would be of very close relation with Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) in terms of figure and morals.

It is also said the incoming person, the Promised Mesiah, would be nabiullah [Prophet of Allah, For example a reference: book of sahih Muslim] and Ummati [that is he would be from this very Ummah e Muslimah]


This spiritual fusion is not an obscure phenomemon in religion. For example,
i-Joshua was like Moses,

ii-Second coming of Elias was proved in John the Baptist,

iii-Coming of Lord from Paran proved as coming of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) with 10,000 disciples at fall of Mecca,

iv-Companions’ making pledge of allegiance (Bai'at ) at the hand of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) were called making pledge of allegiance (Bai'at) at the Hand of Allah.
[Holy Qurab ch 48:v 11] "Verily, those who swear allegiance to thee indeed swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands..........."



Coming back to point, we find that:
-- If Jesus (a.s.) comes, Seal [khataman nabiyeen] will be broken; he was a previous, separate Prophet of Moses (a.s.)'s chain. He is not going to come because he has completed his time and his soul was called by God like the soul of all pure people.

-- If the Promsied Man comes [has come] as the promised-servant-lost-in-HolyProphet (s.a.w.) the Seal [khataman nabiyeen] will not be broken [is not broken].

-- Islam is self-sufficient. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)’s mission is being accomplished by his own servant to spiritually subdue Dajjal (anti-Christ, the anti-truth) and take the peaceful message of Unity of God of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) to all pure souls of the world and to show them the ways of practice.


The idea of physical ascension of Jesus (a.s.) to sky came in early Muslims when many Christains converted to Islam.
As being shown, Holy Quran does not mention this physical ascension…..For the coming of a latter day reformer (mataphorically at his name) the word ‘nozul’ is used in Sayings of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). Some people get confuse and consider it for physical descend of Jesus (a.s.). In fact, ‘nozul’ is used here for a respectful coming. That is why in Arabic, a traveler is called ‘nazeel’ and the place where travelers descend is called ‘manzil’.

The Promised Messiah and Mahdi (on whom be peace) has descended with spiritual peace – the basic force of religion.


Reference: Based on ‘Ruhani Khazain’, Volumes 3, 18 and 23 (and others) of Hazrat Promised Messiah Mahdi (on whom be peace) – The promised and ardent devotee of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), alislam.org

Peace and Good wishes to everyone.
