PROPHET JESUSas HAS DIED - INTRODUCTION TO THE
SERIES
There was a time when the
circumstances surrounding the crucifixion of Hadhrat Jesusas was
a matter of great debate between Ahmadis and non-Ahmadi Muslims.
Whereas Ahmadi Muslims believe
Hadhrat Jesusas was a prophet who died like all other human
beings, a great majority of Muslims held the view that Hadhrat Jesusas was
taken to Heaven by Allah and a Jesus-look-alike was crucified by the Jews
instead.
Few non Ahmadi scholars today
like to raise the topic of the death of Hadhrat Jesusas. To most it
has become a non issue. They would rather vigorously propound their
interpretation of khatam nabiyyin. It has become the "flavor of the
month" so to speak. The majority of Muslims appear to be indifferent or
just plain uninterested.
A more interesting change in
the attitude of Muslim scholars has been in the total abandonment of the belief
that Hadhrat Jesusas is alive in Heaven. Only recently I
ordered books from the Juma Masjid in Toronto, the largest non-Ahmadi Mosque in
Toronto. One book entitled "Myth
of the Cross" by Al Hajj Ajijola gave full support to the
Ahmadiyya view that Hadhrat Jesusas died a natural death.
Similarly, well known Muslim scholars such as Ahmed Deedat back the Ahmadiyya
position on Hadhrat Jesusas. Moreover, several commentaries of the
Quran from Egypt, one of them endorsed by Al Azhar, now interpret the verses
regarding the death of Hadhrat Jesusas as Ahmadis do.
A four part series of articles
on the death of Hadhrat Jesusas, based on the Quran, the Hadith, and
books of history is presented.
