HARUN YAHYA

Jesus (pbuh) will come and will perform

the obligatory prayers behind Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh) and follow him:

In this passage, Bediuzzaman says, in the light of au-
thentic hadith of our Prophet's (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace), "that Jesus (pbuh) will pray together
with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)." Our Lord has made the prayer
a religious obligation. It is impossible for collective person-
alities to pray alongside or for them to serve as imam.
Bediuzzaman was without doubt well aware of this and

says, through his words, that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear as "individuals."
When the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) appears, by Allah's
leave, he will continue to perform the prayer just like he
performed during his first coming. This is revealed as fol-
lows in the Qur'an:
He [Jesus] said, "I am the servant of Allah, He has given
me the Book and made me a Prophet. He has made me
blessed wherever I am and directed me to perform the prayer
and pay the alms as long as i live" (Surah Maryam 30-31)

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)
will appear as blessed individuals in the End Times. The
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will pray behind Hazrat Mahdi
(pbuh), and Islamic moral values will rule the world as a re-
sult of the great intellectual struggle these two blessed per-
sonages will wage.
