P. 126
The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e.
the Prophet Jesus) (as) descends amongst you as a just
ruler, he will break the cross [annul the worship of the
cross], kill the pigs [inform that eating pork is forbidden]…
(Bukhari)
Therefore, when the Prophet Jesus (as) returns, errant doc-
trines such as those of the Trinity, the cross and the priesthood,
and illicit acts such as eating pork, will be swept away, , and
Christianity will be saved from superstition and restored to its
original state.
At this point, there is an important issue we must stop and
consider. In the Qur’an and in the hadiths, there is no doubt that
the Prophet Jesus (as) will return to earth during the End Times.
Today, on the other hand, some Muslims disregard the evident
proofs regarding this return, and suggest that it is possible that the
Prophet Jesus (as) will return after the Prophet Muhammad (saas)
comes. However, Muslims who think such a thing should attempt
to interpret the relevant verses and hadiths objectively and with-
out prejudice. And, secondly, there is no contradiction between
the fact that the Prophet Muhammad (saas) is the last Prophet and
that the Prophet Jesus (as) will return to earth. When the Prophet
Jesus (as) comes for the second time, he will not bring a new reli-
gion but will be subject to the true religion communicated by the
Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad (saas).
The great Islamic scholar Imam Rabbani said: "The Prophet
Jesus (as) will descend from heaven, yet he will follow the Prophet
Muhammad’s (saas) Way” (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani,
