It is Allah Who created you in a state of weakness, and after weakness gave strength; then after strength, caused weakness and old age. He creates what He pleases. He is the All-knowing, the All-Powerful. (30:55)
It is hard to believe that any one would wish for Jesus
to still be alive and cursed with over 2000 years of aging. A normal lifespan
becomes painful after only 90 or so years, 2000 years of age would be an
impossible existence. The Holy Quran terms aging an incontrovertible principle
applicable on all life forms, including Jesus. Age eventually brings with it a
loss of physical and mental powers. It is unstoppable and irreversible. If
something is alive, it ages. Born in a state of weakness, man begins to gains
strength until reaching a physical and mental peak, then decline sets in
progressively diminishing one's faculties, until in advanced old age existence
becomes a sort of living death with ones dignity entirely compromised.
Mercifully, most people die before reaching this terminal stage.
Jesus is a man, he may be a prophet but that does not
make him exempt from this fact of life. Quran supports the contention that if he
were still alive, his existence would be degraded to a state of mental death.
Aging for 2000 years is perhaps the worst fate imaginable, and would not be
suffered by a revered prophet of God. There is no precedent for what existence
at that kind of age would be like, though we can imagine that such a person
would be incapable of rational, coherent thought. His brain would be physically
destroyed and muscles atrophied to complete uselessness. Rather than pin the
hopes of the entire ummah's rescue on such a person, would it not be better to
let him just die?
