Death of Jesus

The account of the Crucifixion is one of history’s most debated events. While traditional views often focus on the burial, a closer look at the botanical evidence provided in the Gospels—specifically the use of Aloe and Myrrh —suggests a narrative of healing and recovery rather than simple embalming. In his seminal work Masih Hindustan Mein (Jesus in India), Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) highlighted a significant medical tradition: the Marham-i-Isa , or the "Ointment of Jesus." This preparation, documented in hundreds of ancient medical texts, points toward a specific purpose: treating the wounds of a survivor. The Botanical Evidence: Why Aloe and Myrrh? In John 19:39, it is recorded that Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds (or a hundred Roman pounds). To understand why such a vast quantity was used, we must look at the medicinal properties of these plants as understood by ancient and modern science. 1. Aloe Vera: The "Sil...

  Questions about the return of Jesus have stirred hearts across centuries and faiths. Many Christians expect a literal, dramatic “second coming” — a descent from the skies in glory — while many Muslims likewise anticipate the physical return of ʿĪsā (Jesus) as a sign of the Last Days. That shared expectation has produced a thousand sermons, headlines and doomsday-scenarios. But the Ahmadiyya Muslim perspective reads these texts differently: rather than a bodily, miraculous descent from heaven in our lifetime, mainstream Ahmadiyya interpretation holds that Jesus completed his earthly mission, died a natural death, and left a continuing spiritual legacy. In short — from this viewpoint, asking “Will Jesus return in 2026?” misunderstands what the Ahmadiyya teachings actually mean by the “coming” of the Messiah. Jesus: alive in the skies — a common image, but not the only reading Across cultures the image of Jesus ascending and later returning is powerful and visceral. It’s no surprise...

 The Untold Story of Jesus' Journey Through India, Tibet, and Persia For centuries, the life of Jesus Christ has been a source of fascination and mystery. The four Gospels in the Bible provide a detailed account of his ministry in Palestine, his crucifixion, and his resurrection. However, they leave a significant gap in the story, offering little information about the years between his childhood and the start of his public ministry. A Controversial Discovery In 1894, a Russian explorer named Nicholas Notovich published a book that would challenge the traditional narrative of Jesus' life. Notovich claimed that during a journey through the Himalayas, he had visited a Buddhist monastery where he had been shown ancient manuscripts that revealed a remarkable story – Jesus had traveled and preached in India, Tibet, and Persia before his ministry in Palestine. Notovich's claims were met with skepticism and controversy, as they challenged the widely accepted biblical account. Howev...

Introduction: The anticipation of Jesus Christ's return has been a central tenet of Christian theology for centuries, offering hope and inspiration to millions of believers. However, there exists a thought-provoking alternative perspective, including that of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, challenging the traditional belief in the Second Coming of Jesus. In this blog post, we will delve into the arguments surrounding the claim that Jesus will never return, paying particular attention to the perspectives put forth by the Ahmadiyya community. Christian Expectations vs. Ahmadiyya Views: Christianity traditionally anticipates the literal return of Jesus Christ, as outlined in various biblical prophecies, particularly in the New Testament. However, the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, founded in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, takes a different stance on the matter. According to Ahmadiyya beliefs, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be the promised Messiah and the Mahdi, not the retur...

WAS JESUS a JEW or a CHRISTIAN ? Jesus was of the Jews. He did not use the word Christian for himself or his followers.I n fact the word had been in use as a derogatory title and a sign of contempt by the Romans ! Only later loosing its NEGATIVE flavor!!! The use of the word "Jew" should NOT be an anathema. In Arabic if you explore the root meaning of the word "ya hood" , it is actually from the same root as "hidayat, huda , (i.e guidance) etc" , the word "ya hood" means the  "GUIDED " same as "mah di" or one treading the Right Path. The word Muslim, has been used in literal sense.... Obedient to God, surrendered to God. It is so interesting, to watch this resemblance !!!  In his age, due to his being "the Christ" his followers have been called "Christians", due to his being from "Nasira" [Nazareth], his followers have called "Naswara" [Nazereens ], due to his F...

If you say Jesus Prophet (pbuh) did not die, then you must admit  that the Quran is full of contradictions.Whereas Allah clearly told us there is no discrepancy between different verses: Do they not then ponder over Quran?  And had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein a much discrepancy.  4:82 Verily this (the Quran) is a conclusive discourse, and it is not a thing of joke. 86:13-14 Facts from the Quran If you believe Jesus is alive, then All Rasuls before Muhammad (pbuh) passed away (3:144) This is a serious contradiction Meaning of the word ‘wafat' is death in more than 20 different verses in the Quran Use of the word ‘wafat' in 3:55 and 5:117 are serious exceptions and contradictory. Christians would regard Jesus(pbuh) and his mother as God ONLY after his death (wafat) (5:116) The verse is contradictory since the Christians have been considering Jesus(pbuh) and his mother as god for a long time. Laws of Allah ha...

How then did the belief arise that Jesus actually rose from the dead in the literal sense and became the dominant narrative? Amidst these difficult circumstances given above, Paul emerged as the originator of a new Jesus movement tailored for the Hellenistic world, outside the homelands of Judaism. He took the wonderful story which had the kernel of truth – Jesus was alive – and created another stream of Christianity distinct from the original stream of Christianity being a Jewish sect abiding by the Mosaic Law. What he created was a religion about Jesus in contra-distinction to the original religion of Jesus. He originated a belief system reminiscent of the Greco-Roman understanding of dying and rising gods straight out of Hellenistic pagan heritage, but fused with Judaic and Gnostic elements.
