Islamic Scholars Regard the Coming of the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as an Article of Faith
Almost all the works that elucidate articles of faith
among the People of the Sunnah agree that the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth before the Day of
Judgment, struggle and make the antichrist ineffective, and
cause true religious moral values to prevail on Earth. In
their analysis of the proofs presented in the Qur'an and the

hadith, Islamic scholars inform us that the Prophet Jesus'
(pbuh) second coming is an important article of faith. They
explain the matter thus:
1. Allah has revealed that: "They did not kill him and
they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to
them" (Surat an-Nisa':157). In addition, Allah reveals in
many other verses that Jesus (pbuh) is alive in His
Presence and that he will come again. Islamic scholars
agree that it is impossible to maintain any other position.
For instance, Ibn Hazm emphasized that: "Anyone who
says that Jesus (pbuh) was killed will either be someone
who leaves the just religion or an unbeliever." 125
2. The fact that the hadith on this subject are completely
tawatur (trustworthy) and so clear is important evidence
