Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

There are a number of prophetic hadiths
about this, some of which read as follows:
"What will you do when the son of Mary (pbuh) descends
among you and leads as one amongst you?" (Sahih Muslim)

A section of my people will not cease fighting for the truth and
will prevail until the Day of Resurrection. He said: "Jesus son
of Mary will then descend and their [the Muslims'] comman-
der will invite him to come and lead them in prayer. But he will
say: 'No, some among you are commanders over some [among
you.]'" (Sahih Muslim)
Some Muslim scholars have written detailed ex-
positions saying, in effect, that the Mahdi and
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will act together. Some of these
read as follows:
Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rasul Barzanji:
The existence of the Mahdi and his appearance during the
End Times, and his being of the family of our Prophet and of
the sons of Fatima, has been stated in hadiths that have the sta-
tus of mutawatir, and it is meaningless to reject these hadiths… (Al-
Isha‘ah li Ashrat al-Sa‘ah, p. 192)

This is the truth: Jesus will not take dominion from the Mahdi, because
the leaders are from the Quraysh. Since these two will be among men,
Jesus will be his governor [vizier], not his leader [amir]. This is why he
will pray behind the Mahdi and join with him. (Al-Isha‘ah li Ashrat al-
Sa‘ah, p. 185)
