would have seen the Prophet Jesus (as) before in person and
therefore there will be no one to recognize him. None will be able
to recognize him by his physical appearance or by the sound of
his voice. No one will be able to say that he knew the Prophet

Jesus (as) personally, or saw him at such and such a time; no one
will have known his family or his relatives. All those who would
have known him would have died 2000 years ago. Mary (as),

Zechariah (as), his disciples, who spent years with him, as well as
all those to whom the Prophet Jesus (as) communicated the mes-
sage of Allah, will have already died. Therefore, there will be
none who would have experienced his birth, childhood, youth or

adulthood when he comes for the second time. No one will know
anything about him.
As we explained in the earlier section of this book, by the com-

mand of Allah, “Be,” the Prophet Jesus (as) came into the world
without a father. Clearly, after so many centuries, he would have
not any surviving relatives. In this regard, Allah informed us in the
Qur’an that the situation of the Prophet Jesus (as) is like the creation

of the Prophet Adam (as):
The likeness of Jesus in Allah’s Sight is the same as Adam.

He created him from earth and then He said to him, “Be!”
and he was. (Surah Al 'Imran: 59)
In this verse Allah reveals that He said “Be!” and the Prophet
Adam (as) was created. The Prophet Jesus (as) too was created by

this same command. The Prophet Adam (as) did not have a mother
or a father while the Prophet Jesus (as) had only a mother when he
came into the world. But, when he comes to the world again for the

second time, his mother will not be alive.
