Which Prophet is still alive and will descend back onto the earth at the end of
time?
Ans:
Isa(pbuh).
Allaah,
The Most High, informed us in the Qur'aan that Isa (Jesus), the son of Mary,
may Allaah exalt their mention, will descend from the heavens to earth in the
last days. Many narrations of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) confirmed this as well, so there is no room for doubt about his
descent.
Allaah
Says (interpretaion of meaning): "And there is none of the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ['Iesa (Jesus), son of
Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allaah and a human being], before his
['Iesa (Jesus) or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the
appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Iesa
(Jesus)] will be a witness against them" (An-Nisa 4:159)
Al-Hasan
Al-Basri, said: "This means before he dies, and I swear by Allah that he
is alive, and when he will descend, everybody will believe in him." This
is also the opinion of Said Ibn
Jubair, Al-Dahhak and Ibn Jarir Al-Tabari.
Imam
Al-Shawkani said: "It means believing in him when he will descend in
the last days, as it is reported by many Ahadith, the narrators of which are
impossible to agree on a lie."
Allaah
Says in Surah Al-Zukhruf after mentioning Issa, son of Mary, (interpretation of
meaning): "And he ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a known
sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Iesa's (Jesus)
descent on the earth. Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to Allâh and do what He
orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islâmic Monotheism,
leading to Allah and to His Paradise). (Az-Zukhruf 43:61)
Al-Tabari said:
"This means that the coming back of Isa is a sign of the coming of the
Hour (Day of resurrection)."
Ibn
Abbas said 'and he' means the descent of Issa.
Mujahid said: "and
he will be a known sign for the closeness Hour, that's to say that one of the
signs of the hour is the descent of Issa before the Day of Judgment." This
is also the opinion of Al-Hasan, Qatada, Al-Suddy,
and Al-Dahhak.
So
both the verse of Allaah and the sayings of the interpreters of the Holy
Qur'aan; the companions and the pious predecessors indicate that issa (Jesus),
may Allaah exdalt his mention, will descend again before The Day of
Judgment.
