HARUN YAHYA

Bediuzzaman recalls this matter, which appears in a
great many authentic hadith, and goes on to say that the

Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will enjoy a
reciprocal dialogue when they come. For that, it is essential
that both blessed individuals appear at the same time and
come together. The whole Islamic world is waiting for the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to come and perform the prayer to-
gether with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
4. It is an allusion and sign that quantitatively the spiri-
tual community of those struggling in Allah's cause
who will recognize Jesus (pbuh) through the light of
faith and follow him will be very few and small com-

tichrist. 136
In this passage Bediuzzaman describes the features of
the community that will recognize and support the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) when he returns:

Who will recognize Jesus (pbuh) through

the light of faith:

In this extract Bediuzzaman again refers to the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) being recognized "by the light of faith" by the
community that supports him, and makes it clear that the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is "an individual." The verb "recog-
nize" suggests that "there is someone to be recognized," and
again reveals that Bediuzzaman is referring to the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) as an individual, not to a collective personality.
