The Time of Prophet Jesus’
(pbuh) Second Coming

many other verses, God recommends that we ponder over the exam-
ples related in the Qur'an and learn from them, as follows:

We have given throughout this Qur'an all kinds of examples for
people, but most people spurn anything but unbelief. (Surat al-
Isra', 17:89)
