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)
