AsSalaam Alkuim,
This is your Bro Kareem from the HDG, and this is Haqq Dawah Media presents Glad Tidings: Glad Tidings S.2.E.6 We love Jesus Too (Isa) AS.
In today's episode we will cover the great Prophet Isa AS. We will cover different aspects of his birth, his life, the lies attributed to him, and his return. Let’s begin:
Jesus to Muslims is called in Islam Isa bin Maryam AS( son of Mary).Isa was sent for the children of Isreal. Isa is a prophet of Islam and Muslims do not the believe that he is or was a son of Allah. This is because Allah says in his book the Quran that he begots none nor is he begoton. This mean he has no family, none.
The birth of Isa AS is covered in the Quran in surah Maryum. The surah starts off talking about the birth of Mayrum, and her growing up in the temple under the care of Prophet Zackariah. While in the temple Maryum was visited by the Angel with glad tidings of the birth of Isa.
Isa was born to Maryum who was virgin hence the name Isa bin Maryum. It is quoted in the Quran as Isa doing mircales at birth.
"He shall speak to people while still in the cradle, and in manhood, and he shall be from the righteous." (Quran 3:46)
"I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!"
— Quran, sura 19 Maryam, ayat 30-33
After reaching maturity Isa went on to receive revelation. The revelation that Isa received was called the Injel. The Injel declares the truth of the previous revelations: al Tawrat (the Torah) and al Zabur(the Psalams). The Quran speaks favorably of al-Injīl, which it describes as a scripture that fills the hearts of its followers with meekness and piety. The Quran says that the original biblical message has been distorted or corrupted over time.
Just as Prophet Muhammad had Suhabbas (Companions) Isa had is own known as the Disciples. Unlike the bible the Disciples are not named by name in the Quran.
They are spoken about a few times in the Quran:
When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.
Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness."
— Quran Surah Al-Imran 52-53
Also in Quran Surah Al-Ma'ida 112-115
Islamic texts categorically deny the idea of crucifixion or death attributed to Jesus by the New Testament. The Quran states that people (i.e., the Jews and Romans) sought to kill Jesus, but they did not crucify nor kill him, although "this was made to appear to them". Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified but instead, he was raised up by Allah unto the heavens. This "raising" is often understood to mean through bodily ascension.
And they said we have killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah. They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; those that disagreed about him are full of doubt, with no knowledge to follow, only supposition: they certainly did not kill him. On the contrary, Allah raised him unto himself. Allah is almighty and wise.
Quran surah 4 ( Al Nisaا) ayah 157-158
The second coming of Isa.
Isa will return during the time of a great problem for the Muslims. It will be a battle between the Muslims lead by Imam Mahdi( the reformer of Islam) and the Dijall (anti christ) and his followers.
Isa will descend at the time of prayer and pray behind Imam Mahdi. Then he will join the Muslims in jihad against the Dijall and eventually end up slaying him.
After the death of al-Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice. Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Gog and Magog), ancient tribes which will disperse and cause disturbance on earth. Alla, in response to Jesus' prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks. Jesus' rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die. Muslims will then perform the funeral prayer for him and then bury him in the city of Medina in a grave left vacant beside Prophet Muhammad,Abu Baker ,a,d Umar (two of the Prophets closest Companions and the first and second caliphs.
