Some believe Christ will return in an apocalypse, but the significance of his return varies-quote.

Some Muslims believe Jesus will return at the end of the world; the difference is that they believe his return is a sign, not the actual end. Other Muslims believe Jesus is a minor figure and that Islam's 12th imam, Mahdi, will cleanse the world.

Both of these sources say only some Muslims believe in the Second Coming of Jesus. Is that true, or just misinformation? I wouldnt be suprised if its true, since Jesus isnt the central figure of the religion, but are what those sources say about Jesus true or false in the sense that his second coming isnt the orthodox position?
To dear Skywalker:
Peace be on you.
From Ahmadiyya Muslim View:
1=The promised second coming is not a new phenomenon in religion. It is a metaphor. As once gone from this world is gone for ever.
Jesus (on whom be peace) indicating John the baptist (on whom be peace) as Elijah (on whom be peace) ........[ Elijah was to come again : 5"Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.....Malachi 4:5 ]:
Mathew 17:10-13
10And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 11And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things; 12but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." 13Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
Mathew 11:14-15
14"And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come. 15"He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

3=Out of several verses which, according to Ahmadiyya understanding, clearly show he has died, one is following:
ch 5v118, note 814 :
https://www.alislam.org/quran/tafseer/?page=267®ion=EN&CR=E1,E2&CR=E1,E2
4= Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) foretold various signs of latter days in such way that if people see these fulfilling then they should realize that the Claimant is true. [The signs were told in such a chained manner that they were impossible to be faked. They were fulfilled. These Signs included: Religious conditions of the era, Moral conditions, Knowledge, Traditions, Health, Gender ratio, New vehicles, Wealth, Politics, Earth, Astronomy etc&.ut
As mentioned in two close-by places in Bhukari, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) mentioned two different countenances of Jesus (a.s.) : when he (s.a.w.) mentioned Jesus (a.s.) as seen in Ascension-journey, Jesus was of red complexion, curly hair and also Moses (a.s.) is mentioned there too ---- But ---- when he (s.a.w.) mentioned Jesus (a.s.) making circuits around Ka'aba , [Dajjal (anti-christ) is also mentioned circuiting Ka'aba] there Jesus is mentioned as man of brownish complexion with straight hairs...........All this indicates that Jesus-of-Moses was different than Jesus-of-latter days..... Jesus-of-latter days was the man to save Islam (it comes from circuiting Ka'aba) from anti christ's ploys (as it makes circuits around Ka'aba too -- or-- anti chirst will become become humble and effect of Ka'aba will correct it too)....
Jesus, Mahdi and the Man mentioned in the the Hadith when Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) explained the verse 4 of Surah Jumua ch 62: “And (among) others from among them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.” -- are same.
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) placed his hand on the shoulder of Sahabi ( Companion) Hadhrat Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Even if faith were near the Pleiades (al-Thurryah), a man from amongst these would surely find it. (Ref: Bukhari, Muslim).........It means when Faith will become very weak such a servant of Holy Prophet (s.a.w) will again establish it.
Three names indicate his properties and scope of work. By having the name Jesus, he will have no wars, he will correct the error of making God's associates...... By having name Mahdi, he will be guided by God Himself and spread teaching of Holy Prophet s.a.w....... By the pointing of Hazrat Salman Farsi, the coming man would be of Persian descendant..... The mention of Pleiades show, faith will go high i.e. would become very weak, the Man will bring it back by the grace of Allah the Exalted.
The coming of a Promised Man in latter days is mentioned in major religions. He is the same and one Man of God, according to Ahmadiyya understanding.
According to Ahmadiyya Muslims, such a universal servant of universal Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has come as Promised Messiah and Mahdi to serve cause of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) by using peaceful means (prayer, pen and human services). After him, his Khilafat (as foretold by Holy Prophet s.a.w.) is serving; now fifth Khalifah is heading the Community by the grace of Allah the Exalted and Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at has reached to 207 countries in the world as the best peaceful citizens of their respective countries since Holy Prophet s.a.w said The love of homeland is the part of faith.

5=One can always directly pray to God the Exalted to get guidance in this matter.
Good wishes.
