Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
Jesus [pbuh] will live as a just judge, a fair imam, and leader among my
people. He will destroy the cross [of the Christians], kill the pig, lift the
jizyah tax, and abandon charity when no one desires more sheep or
camels. All enmity and hostility will cease, Earth's face will be like a sil-
ver plate, and vegetation will be plentiful again, just like at Adam's
[pbuh] time. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 496)
After that, he will rule with justice, break the cross, kill swine, abolish
the jizya, and abandon charity. No tax collector will be after sheep or
camels. Enmity and hatred between people will cease. Scorpions and
snakes will not be poisonous, and even children will play snakes with-
out being bitten. The girl will try to chase away the lion, but it will not
harm the child. Wolves will be among sheep like sheepdogs. The world
will fill with religious unity like the cup fills with water. Nobody but
God will be worshipped. Nothing will be left of warfare and conflict.
The rule of the Quraysh tribe will end, and Earth's face will be like a sil-
ver plate. Vegetation will be plentiful again like at Adam's [pbuh] time.
One branch of grapes will satiate a group of people. A pomegranate will
satiate a group of people, the price of an ox will be small, and a few coins
will buy a horse. Someone asked: "Oh God's Messenger (may God bless
him and grant him peace), why will horses be cheap?" [He replied:] "As
there will be no war, there will be no demand." [It was asked:] "Why
will oxen be so expensive?" [He replied:] "Because all of the land will be
arable and oxen will be needed." (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Then he will live for 40 years. No one will die during his time. People
will say [go and graze] to their sheep and animals, and they will go.
Even though they will pass through crops, they will not feed off one ear
of grain. Snakes and scorpions will not harm anyone, and predators
will stand by the doors and not hurt people... (Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti)
Jesus [pbuh] will kill the Dajjal. Then the Earth will become safe so that
lions may graze with camels; tigers with cows, wolves with sheep; and
so that children may play with snakes without being harmed. (Ibn
Ahmad Hanbal)
