Hadhrat Isa Alayhissalaam. is Alive Q: Imaan-30 : What is the belief of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah cocerning the belief of some people that Hadhrat Isa alayhissalaam. has passed away please furnish a detailed and substantiated reply to the question. Answer: It is the unanimous belief of all Muslims that Allaah raised Hadhrat Isa alayhissalaam. to the heavens, where he remains alive. He will return to this World shortly before Qiyaamah, he will kill Dajjaal and will later pass away. This belief is substantiated by the Qur'aan and the Ahadeeth and is unanimously accepted by the entire Ummah (Ijma). The person who refutes this belief and believes that Hadhrat lsa alayhissalaam. was killed is therefore refuting the Qur?aan, the Ahadeeth and Ijma. He is therefore out of the fold of Islaam because the matter is one of Ijma and not based on personal opinion. The Qur?aan states: "And (they are also cursed) because they said, without doubt we have killed Maseeh Isa the son of Maryam, the Rasool of AIIaah." They never killed him, nor did they crucify him, But they were cast into doubt (when AIIaah made the people think that Another person Isa Alayhissalaam. whom they killed instead). Indeed those Who diispute about him (who soy that Isa Alayhissalaam. was crucified) are definitely in doubt, The only knowledge they possess (about Isa Alayhissalaam. is guesswork (they have no accurate knowledge about his whereabouts). It with certainty, they never killed him. On the contrary, Allaah raised him towards Himself (in the heavens). Allaah is Mighty (powerful to do whatever He wants), the Wise. This verse makes it evidently clear that Hadhrat Isa Alayhissalaam. was never Crucified as the Jews claim, but was rather raised to the heavens, commiting on this verse, Ruhul Ma'aani states: "He is alive in the second heaven as established by the Hadith of Mi'raaj and he will remain there until he return to earth to kill Dajjaal and to fill the earth with justice as it would be filled with tyranny at the time" (Vol.6 Pg.12) Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah RADI. reports that Rasulullaah SAW. said, "By Allaah! The son of Maryam (Isa) Alayhissalaam. Will remain there until? Qiyaamah) as a just ruler and will destroy the cross? Mazaahire Haqq (Vol.4 P5.327) states: "NOTE: It has been established beyond doubt from authentic Ahadeeth that Hadhrat lsa Alayhissalaam. will descend from the heavens to earth, will follow the Deen of Rasulullaah SAW. and pass judgement according to the Shari'ah of Rasulullaah SAW.
