Page 455 - The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
P. 455
Conclusion
quickly, and the 2000s came in a blink of an eye.
We can understand how to prepare ourselves from the Qur'an,
the sayings of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace),
and the interpretations of such great Islamic scholars as Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi. The most important stage of this preparation is the ideo-
logical struggle against all anti-religious systems.
As Bediuzzaman indicates, all believers have to unite in an ideo-
logical struggle against such atheist ideologies as Darwinism and ma-
terialism, which distance people from religion's morality, and make a
common effort to eliminate them. To achieve this goal, a worldwide
preparation has to be made before Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return.
Indeed, as the hadiths reveal, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will fight against
all ideologies of unbelief. Bediuzzaman also said that since Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) will act with God's revelation, all of his decisions will be
pertinent and he will eliminate all irreligious systems. (The Letters, p.
6)
We need to remember that Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming
is a metaphysical and miraculous event that will affect the entire
world. There will be worldwide radical changes in the social and po-
litical spheres, and the world will unite around him. Thus, all
Christians and Muslims must prepare to host him in the best way pos-
sible. The best common action will be the one undertaken by those
Christians and Muslims who are wholeheartedly devoted to God;
who believe in Him, seek only His approval, submit themselves to
Him, and glorify Him; and who essentially have the same values.
Obviously, this means that Muslims and Christians need to treat
one another with tolerance, love, understanding, and peace. People
need to end conflict, prejudice, and misunderstanding, for there is no
time to lose.
