God’s Promise:
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) Will Return

Imam Kawthari also stated his views regarding Prophet Jesus'
(pbuh) coming as follows:

The tawatur in the hadiths regarding Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second com-
ing is mutawatir-i manawi. Aside from the fact that each one of the sahih
and hasan hadiths may indicate different meanings, they all agree upon
Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming. This is actually a fact which is im-
possible to deny for a person who is well acquainted with the knowl-
edge of hadith... The hadiths related to the appearance of Mahdi and
Dajjal and Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming are tawatur; it is cer-
tainly not an issue that is considered doubtful by experts on the hadith
literature. The reason why some who deal with Ilm al-Kalam (science of
theology) agree that it is essential to have faith in the hadiths related to
the signs of Doomsday yet have doubts about whether some of these
hadiths are mutawatir or not, is their inadequate knowledge about ha-
diths. 13
The great Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir states his views after com-
menting on the related verses and explaining the related hadiths:
These are narrated from the Messenger of God (saas) as mutawatir and
in these hadiths, there are explanations regarding how and where
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will appear...The authentic and mutawatir hadiths
about Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return to Earth in his noble body is immune
to any opposing interpretations. Consequently, everyone with the
smallest speck of faith and fairness has to believe in Prophet Jesus'
