                                       HARUN YAHYA


                       Under normal terrestrial conditions, people obviously
                  cannot sleep for such a long period. This sleep, therefore,

                  may not be the type of sleep with which we are familiar.
                  Perhaps they were taken into another dimension, one in
                  which time and space do not apply, and were later sent
                  back to Earth. (Allah knows the truth.)
                       Just like people waking up from sleep, these people
                  also returned to life. In a similar way, the Prophet Jesus
                  (pbuh) will return to life when he comes back to Earth and,
                  after fulfilling the honorable responsibility imposed on him
                  by Allah, and, as a requirement of the verse; He said: "On it
                  [Earth] you will live and on it die, and from it you will be brought
                  forth," (Surat al-A'raf:25) he will die on Earth, like every
                  other human being. (Allah knows the truth.)


                             Claim 3 and Its Refutation
                       Another claim made by those who do not believe in the

                  Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming is based on Surat al-
                  Anbiya’:34-35. These read as follows:
                       We did not give any human being before you immortality.
                       And if you die, will they then be immortal? Every self will
                       taste death. We test you with both good and evil as a trial.
                       And you will be returned to Us. (Surat al-Anbiya’:34-35)

                       Some people cite these verses as proof that the Prophet
                  Jesus (pbuh) is dead. However, by doing so they ignore the
                  many clear verses and hadith that proclaim that Allah pro-
                  tected and rescued the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) from the unbe-
