THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
Some scholars stated that the "him/it" in this verse is used
for the Qur'an and thus made the following interpretation: There
will be no one from the People of the Book who will not have
faith in the Qur'an before he (a person from the People of the
Book) dies.
Nevertheless, in verses 157 and 158, which are the two vers-
es preceding this verse, the same "him" is undoubtedly used for
the Prophet Jesus (as).
The verses state:

And (on account of) their saying, "We killed the Messi-
ah, Jesus son of Maryam, Messenger of Allah." They
did not kill him and they did not crucify him but it was
made to seem so to them. Those who argue about him
are in doubt about it. They have no real knowledge of
it, just conjecture. But they certainly did not kill him.
(Surat an-Nisa': 157)
Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Almighty, All-
Wise. (Surat an-Nisa': 158)
Just after these verses in Surat an-Nisa' 159, there is no evi-
dence indicating that "him" is used to imply someone or some-
thing other than the Prophet Jesus (as).

There is not one of the People of the Book who will not
believe in him before he dies; and on the Day of Resur-
rection he will be a witness against them. (Surat an-
Nisa': 159)
In the Qur'an, Allah informs us that on the Day of Judge-
ment, the "tongues and hands and feet will testify against them
about what they were doing" (Surat an-Nur: 24 and Surah
Yasin: 65). From Surah Fussilat 20-23, we learn that "hearing,
sight and skin will testify against us." In none of the verses
