                       The angels descend to Earth and then return to Allah's
                  Presence at various times appointed by Him. However, the

                  fact that they ascend into the Presence of Allah does not
                  mean that they vanish as we understand the concept in this
                  world. They merely pass over to another dimension and
                  continue to live, but beyond our perception.
                       In a similar way, the fact that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
                  has been taken to the Presence of Allah does not mean that
                  he is dead. Indeed, it is made clear in several verses that the
                  Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not die, and this is also confirmed
                  by the hadith. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is alive in a dimen-
                  sion we cannot comprehend. In addition, the fact that the
                  angels can move between two dimensions, by Allah's leave,
                  shows that this is an easy matter if our Lord so ordains.
                       When the time appointed by Allah comes, the Prophet
                  Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth and he will call people to
                  the true religious moral values as the messenger of our
                  Lord. Bediuzzaman also expresses this fact by these words.
                       In the words "[Jesus (pbuh) who is] alive and present
                  with his body in the heavenly world," Bediuzzaman is

                  telling us that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not die, that he
                  is still alive and will return to Earth in human form.
                  Bediuzzaman thus reveals that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is
                  not a collective personality and is imparting the good news
                  that this blessed prophet will return to Earth, as a miracle
                  from Allah "as an individual in human form."
