Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has died
about 1400 years ago.
Jesus, peace be upon him, was raised up
alive according to the Qur'an.
Who is greater, a person who is dead
or a person who has been raised up
alive?
This question was asked to me by a
Christian and I could not respond.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Qur'an, Surah An-Nisa, Chapter 4
وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ Neither
did they kill him, nor did they crucify
him.
But it was made to appear so.
وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِنْ And
those who differ in it are full of
doubt.
إِلَّا تِبَعَ الظَّنِّ With only conjecture to follow.
وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا And for an assurity, they
killed him not.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in this verse
of the glorious Qur'an, he is clearly
telling us that Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, he was neither killed nor was he
crucified.
But it was made to appear so.
And in the next verse, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says, بَرَّفَعْهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ But Allah
raised him up unto himself.
Allah raised him up alive.
وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمًا And Allah is exalted
in might, full of wisdom.
Now, why was Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, raised up alive?
Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he was
raised up alive because he was the only
prophet of Almighty God whose followers mistook him
as a whole to be Almighty God.
Prophet Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he
was the only prophet of Almighty God whose
followers as a whole, they mistook him to
be Almighty God.
That's the reason Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
raised him up alive.
And Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, when
he comes in his second coming, he will
not come as a messenger of God or
a prophet of God, but he will come
as a follower of Prophet Muhammad, may peace
and blessings be upon him.
And he will come in order to testify
to the people and tell the people that
he never claimed divinity.
He never commanded his followers to worship him,
but rather he told them to worship Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And even on the day of judgment, when
Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, even on
the day of judgment, Jesus Christ, peace be
upon him, he will testify this in front
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى بِن مَرْيَمِ أَأَنْتَ
قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِ وَأُمْيَا إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in surah
Al-Ma'idah, chapter number 5, verse number
116.
وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى بِن مَرْيَمِ أَأَنْتَ
قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِ وَأُمْيَا إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ
And when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he
tells Jesus, peace be upon him, that did
you tell the people to worship me and
my mother besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا
لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقِّ Say, glory be to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
How can I say something which I do
not have authority of?
إِن كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ Had I said
it, you would have known it.
تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي
نَفْسِكَ You know what is in my soul
and I do not know what is in
yours.
إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَعْلَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ For you are the
knower of all things that are hidden.
So even on the day of judgment, Jesus
Christ, peace be upon him, he will testify
and he will tell Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala that I did not command my people
to worship me but rather I told them
to worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone.
And the Christians who claim that Jesus Christ,
peace be upon him, he claimed divinity.
When Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he
comes in his second coming, he will make
it crystal clear and he will tell the
people that he never commanded his followers to
worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he
never claimed divinity.
But rather what he told his followers is
that to worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
alone.
I hope that answers your question.
