THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
away some thousands of years ago and that thus it is unlikely
that he will return. This is a misconception arising from lack of
knowledge about the Qur'an and the hadith.
The Prophet Muhammad (saas) also told us that in the time
when the Prophet Jesus (as) will be sent back to earth, which is
called 'the end of time', there will be a period in which the earth
will attain unprecedented peace, justice and welfare.
The 'end times' refers to the period of time close to the end
of the world. According to Islam, in this time, there will be the
terrible trials of the dajjal (antichrist), many earthquakes and the
emergence of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) after which the
ways of the Qur'an will prevail and people will extensively
adhere to the values it teaches.
Evidence that the Prophet Jesus (as) did not die, that he was
raised to the Presence of Allah and that he will return again will
be examined in this book in the light of the Qur'anic verses,
hadiths and Islamic scholars' interpretations. However, before
proceeding, it would be beneficial to remind ourselves of some
basic information directly related to this subject.
