Death of Jesus

  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...

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...

Introduction:   The death of Jesus Christ is a pivotal event in Christian theology, but it also holds significance in other major world religions.

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...

حضرت عیسیٰ  علیہ السلام کو خواب میں دیکھنا (علمی نکتہ )  سیدنا حضرت مسیح موعود ؑ فرماتے ہیں : ''یہ عجیب بات ہے کہ اسلام کے ائمہ تعبیر جہاں حضرت عیسیٰ  ؑ کی رویت کی تعبیر کرتے ہیں وہاں یہ لکھتے ہیں کہ جو شخص حضرت عیسیٰ  ؑ    کو خواب میں دیکھے وہ کسی بلا سے نجات پا کر کسی اور ملک کی طرف چلا جائیگا اور ایک زمین سے دوسری زمین کی طرف ہجرت کریگا۔یہ نہیں لکھتے کہ وہ آسمان پر چڑھ جائیگا۔دیکھو کتاب تعطیرالانام اور دوسرے ائمہ کی کتابیں ۔پس عقلمند پر ظاہر ہونے کے لئے یہ بھی ایک پہلو ہے۔ '' (روحانی خزائن ،جلد ۲۲،حقیقۃ الوحی ،صفحہ ۳۸حاشیہ)

Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad Sahib fourth Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community explaining the logical point that Jesus(pbuh)can not be ascended. As if had he traveled through the speed of the light then it will take about 10 billion years for him to reach the fourth heaven. http://youtu.be/8rOgKsA-6Sc

بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم  دوران تبلیغ اکثر داعیان الی اللہ اور مبلغین کا یہ ذاتی تجربہ ہے کہ بسا اوقات دوران تبلیغ اللہ تعالیٰ فوراً دل میں کوئی نقطے کی بات ڈال دیتا ہے ۔جو بسا اوقات بہت سادہ اور معمولی ہوتی ہے لیکن بہت ہی کارگر اور مسکت ثابت ہوتی ہے ۔خالد احمدیت حضرت مولانا ابوالعطاء صاحب جالندھری روایت کرتے ہیں کہ : ''فلسطین میں ایک موقعہ پر نابلس کے چند استاد تبلیغی گفتگو کے لئے آئے۔احمدیہ دارالتبلیغ میں اس وقت آپ کے علاوہ چند احمدی بزرگ بھی موجود تھے ۔وفات مسیح کا ذکر ہو رہا تھا ۔غیر احمدی عالم نے کہا کہ اگر حضرت مسیح ؈واقعی فوت ہو چکے ہیں تو ان کی قبر کہاں ہے ؟انہیں بتایا گیا کہ تاریخی شواہد سے ثابت ہے کہ ان کی قبر سری نگر ،کشمیر میں ہے ۔کشمیر کا نام سن کر بے اختیار ان میں سے ایک کی زبان سے نکلا کہ اتنی دور!یہ کیسے ہو سکتا ہے ؟آپ فرمایا کرتے تھے کہ ابھی میں نے انہیں کوئی جواب نہ دیا تھا کہ ہمارے مرحوم بھائی علی القزق جو معمولی تعلیم یافتہ تھے نے جھٹ فرمایا کہ کیا کشمیر آسمان سے بھی دور ہے ؟ یہ برجستہ جواب سن کر وہ غیر احمدی عالم اور باقی سب اساتذہ لاجواب ہو گئ...

Hazrat Mirza Gulam Ahmad Qadiani the Promised Messiah as said :- To me, he alone is a believer  who follows the Holy Prophet ﷺ faithfully and attains an exalted spiritual station, as God Himself says: “Say, ‘If you love Allah, follow me; so that you become His beloved.’”  (aal-e-imaraan :32) Love demands love for whatever the beloved does. The Holy Prophet ﷺ died, and, by courting  death, he demonstrated that this was the tradition to be followed. Who would now wish to live, or wish someone else to be still alive, after the Holy Prophet’s has died? Love for the Holy Prophet ﷺ simply demands that one  should lose oneself in total submission to him, exercise complete control over one’s emotions and have full awareness of one’s station as a part of the Muslim nation. This being so, how can one claim to love and be a follower of the Holy Prophet ﷺ if he accepts a superior status for Jesus a.s by pronouncing him alive and the Holy Prophet ﷺ dead? ...

حضرت مسیح موعود علیہ السلام فرماتے ہیں :-   میرے نزدیک مومن وہی ہوتا ہے جو آپﷺ کی اتباع کرتا ہے اور وہی کسی مقام پر پہنچتا ہے۔  جیسا کہ خود اللہ تعالیٰ نے فرمادیا ہے۔ قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ  (ال عمران ۳۲)   یعنی کہہ دو کہ اگر تم اللہ تعالیٰ کو محبت کرتے ہو تو میری اتباع کرو تاکہ اللہ تمہیں اپنا محبوب بنالے۔  اب محبت کا تقاضا تو یہ ہے کہ محبوب کے فعل کے ساتھ خاص موانست ہو۔ اور مرنا آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی سنت ہے۔ آپ نے مرکر دکھا دیا۔ پھر کون ہے جو زندہ رہےیا زندہ رہنے کی آرزو کرے   یا کسی اَور کیلئے تجویز کرے کہ وہ زندہ رہے؟ محبت کا تقاضا تو یہی ہے کہ آپ کی اتباع میں ایسا گم ہو کہ اپنے جذبات نفس کو تھام لے اور یہ سوچ لے کہ میں کسی کی اُمت ہوں۔ ایسی صورت میں جو شخص حضرت عیسیٰ علیہ السلام کی نسبت یہ عقیدہ رکھتا ہے کہ وہ اب تک زندہ ہیں وہ کیونکر آپ کی محبت اور اتباع کا دعویٰ کر سکتا ہے؟ اس لئے کہ آپ کی نسبت وہ گوارا کرتا ہے کہ مسیح کو افضل قرار دیا جاوے اور آپ کو مُردہ کہ...

The fundamental doctrines of Church Christianity are based upon the death of Jesus on the cross, his resurrection and his bodily ascension to heaven. Though Christian masses continue to render lip service to this fiction, few thinkers, in Christian lands today believe in or dare assert the historic authenticity of these supposed events. There are not even prima facie considerations to sustain the theory of death upon the cross and there is no sure evidence to support the unnatural phenomena of the resurrection and the ascension. Indeed the gospels themselves furnish the most formidable refutations of these myths. The basic doctrine of church has been that Jesus being son of god appeared in human shape to take upon himself the accumulated burden of humanity’s sins and to expiate them on the cross so that mankind may attain salvation through belief in the atonement.  Being son of god he was very god himself and through his death upon the cross he became “accursed”...

 سیدنا حضرت محمد مصطفیٰ ﷺ کی وفات کے بعد صحابہ کرام رضوان اللہ علیھم اجمعین کا سب سے پہلا اجماع   اسی بات پر ہوا تھا کہ تمام گزشتہ انبیاء بشمول حضرت عیسیٰ علیہ السلام وفات پا چکے ہیں ۔ چنانچہ حضرت عمر ؓ اور  کئی دیگرصحابہ نے شدت محبت اور غم کی وجہ سے حضور ﷺ کو وفات یافتہ تسلیم کرنے سے انکار کردیا۔ تب  حضرت ابوبکر ؓ تشریف لائے اور سورۃ آل عمران کی آیت نمبر 145 تلاوت فرمائی ۔

The belief that the last prophet, Muhammad (PBUH),  has already come and gone and the assertions that Jesus (as) would descend to earth as a prophet after him are so inconsistent that they cannot be owned simultaneously. In fact this cocktail of two unrelated issues was made by some Ulema of the late medieval times. At the time of the revelation of the Holy Quran any connection between the two was unthinkable.

The Holy Quran emphatically proves that Jesus has passed away like other mortal human beings, and is no longer alive anywhere. It clearly states that Jesus possessed only human characteristics, and was in no way divine but a servant of God and his messenger. From birth to death, he was subject to all the physical and biological limitations that God has ordained for human beings. First evidence:  All human beings live and die in this world. Prophets belong to the human race, and they are, therefore, subject to the eternal Divine law that human beings live and die in this world. The Quran states:

The Ahmadi questioner had based his question on the following verses of the Holy Quran:

In Sahih al-Bukhari, there are recorded two different physical descriptions of Jesus a.s —  1. One applying to the past Messiah and  2. The other to the Messiah whose advent in the latter days is prophesied.
