Sayyiduna Isa Alaihis Salaam – A Prophet of Islam

This book explains important beliefs of Islām regarding Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام from prior birth to being raised upto into the heavens, his descent, rule and death.

We believe that our beloved Nabī Muhammad ﷺ is the last and final Prophet. You are probably thinking that how can our Nabī ﷺ be the last Prophet when Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام is to come back to this world again? The answer is simple. When Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام will return before Qiyāmah, he will not come as a prophet. Instead he will come as a follower of our Nabī ﷺ. However, this does not mean that the prophethood of Sayyidunā Īsā عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام be taken away. Let us use an example to understand this.

When the king of a country goes to visit another country, he will still remain the king of his own country. However, he will have to obey the laws made by the king of the country he is visiting. He will not be able to order people to follow his laws.

Similarly, when Sayyidunā ‘Īsā عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام will come again, his prophethood will remain with him. However, he will follow the religion taught by Rasūlullāh ﷺ. He will not come with a new religion. Our Nabī Muhammad ﷺ is the last and final Nabī and Rasūl.
