INTRODUCTION

All Praise is for Allah, the Great, the Most High - Peace and blessings of Allah be upon theFinal Prophet Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam

From the major signs ofQiyamah that will manifest near the last hour, is the exceptional one,which is the decent of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam. This subject matter is mentioned inseveral versus of the Qurn and there are innumerable detailed ahdth on this subjectnarrated from numerous Sahbah (companions). Thus it is theIjma (consensus) of the Ummahof fourteen centuries that Isa alayhis-salaam was taken up onto the heavens, is alive, willdescend before the last hour and die a natural death.

Everything about Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam was extraordinary, before, during and after hisbirth.

In Surah l-Imran, Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala whilst referring to past Prophets deems it

sufficient to refer to Prophets Adam, Nuh, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imranalayhim-us-salaam briefly in one single verse. Yet makes reference to Isa alayhis-salaam andhis family in 22 versus in meticulous detailsomething which has not been made in thismanner even in reference to the Last of the Prophetssallallahu-alayhi-wasallam to whom theQurn was revealed.

Summarily in Surah Al-Maidah (Verse 109) all Prophets are mentioned in one verse and Isaalayhis-salaam in the next 12 verses. Two entire Surahs are dedicated to Isa alayhis-salaam.One to his family (Surah l -Imran) and the other to his mother (Surah Maryam).

There are many such verses such as these in the Qurn. The point to note here is the detail in

which Allah Subhanahu-wa-taaladiscusses the life of Isa alayhis-salaammention of hisgrandmother, her pledge, the birth of his mother then the detailed account of his birth, hismothers return to the family with the new born child, their blames and accusations, the miracleof his speech as a babyhis growing up and call to his people, the opposition faced and helpof the disciples, the hostile attempts of the Jews to trap and kill him and his being raised aliveonto the heavens.

The wisdom behind mentioning his life in so much detail is to inform the Muslims to-come ofthe identity of his being just as Muslims were informed of all other major incidents to occurbefore the last hour.

To deny the return of Isa alayhis-salaam because our intellect cannot comprehend the way it ismentioned in the ahdth is the same as to deny Qiyamah,Jannah orJahannam because wecannot comprehend them. Those who speak in this manner are in reality deprived of divineawareness and the power and grasp of Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala.

Many people entertain so-called intellectual doubts about it and the Qadiyani writers haveexploited the situation and published much literature on this subject (attempting to pave wayfor Mirza Ghulam Qadiyanis claim to be theMash, Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam).Therefore it is necessary to understand the importance and authenticity of this belief.

The only two groups who deny this belief are the Qadiyanis and Munkireen-e-Hadith(Rejecters of Hadith)

It is the belief of the entire Muslim Ummah that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam is still alive,will descend in the last days and die a natural death. This belief is a fundamental belief ofIslam. One who rejects it is aKfirdue to rejecting several aytof the Qurn, mutawtir

ahdth and theIjma of the Ummah.

May Allah keep us steadfast upon the correct beliefs of Islam and reward all those who strivein upholding the beliefs taught to us by the Messenger of Allahsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam

SKY, SKIES, HEAVEN/S:

The terms sky, skies, heavens are used interchangeably. All refer to the same concept thatHadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam has been taken up by the will of Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala andis present in the second heaven as mentioned in mutawtir(authentic) narrations.

FATWA (1)The Honourable Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz

Vice-Chancellor of the Islamic University, Madinah MunawwarahPresident ofRiyasah al-Buhu th al-I lmiyyah wal-I fta wa-Dawah wal-Irshad

Member ofMajlis Shuraof Saudi Arabia

The Rejecter ofHayt-e-Mash is Kfir

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and the end (result) is in favour of the God-fearing. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon His slave, Messenger and the best ofcreations; Muhammad bin Abdullah, upon his descendants, companions and upon those whofollow their path and adopt their way till the Day of Judgment.

We received a question from our sincere brother Sheikh Manzur Ahmad of Pakistan - Head ofJamiah Arabia and General Secretary ofIdara Markaziyya-lid-Dawah, wal-Irshad inChinyot (Western Pakistan).

QUESTION:

What do the respected Ulama say about the Haytof Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam and hisascension unto the heavens with his physical (earthly) body, and his descent from the heavensto the earth nearQiyamah, and that this descent is one of the signs ofQiyamah? What is theruling about one who rejects his descent nearQiyamah and claims that he was crucified butdid not die and subsequently migrated to Kashmir where he lived for a long time and died anatural death and will not descend nearQiyamah?

Kindly, issue a Fatwa concerning this matter. May Allah reward you greatly.

ANSWER:

With Allahs help, from whom help is sought and to whom we submit our trust, there is nomight and power except with Him.

The evidence from the Qurn and Hadith agree that Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam alayhis-salaam is the slave of Allah and His messenger. He was raised unto the heavens with hisphysical body and soul and he neither died nor was he killed or crucified, and he will descendin the last days, will break the cross, kill the swine, abolishjizyah (tax) and will follow Islam.

It is also established that his descent will be one of the signs ofQiyamah. The Ulama of Islam

are agreed upon what has been mentioned above. Indeed, they have differed in the meaning ofthe (Arabic) word tawaffee as mentioned in the verse:


6/73

5

When Allah said: O Isa, I am to take you in full and to raise you towards Myself, and to

cleanse you of those who disbelieve, and to place those who follow you above those whodisbelieve up to the Day of Doom. Then to Me is your return, whereupon I shall judgebetween you in that over which you have differed.

1

First Opinion: According to one opinion, it means death; since this is the obvious meaningof the verse. However, this is according to those who do not contemplate upon other availableevidence; since this meaning is repeatedly mentioned in the Qurn, e.g. Say, the angel ofdeath who has been assigned for you will take your soul in full, then you will be brought backto your Lord.

2

In another place, the Qurn says:

Only if you were to see (them) when the angels take out the souls of those who disbelieve,beating their faces and their backs, and (saying) Taste the punishment of the flaming Fire.3

In these verses, the word tawaffee is used to refer to death, and if we imply this meaning to thefirst verse, we must suppose there is a change of order in the verse.

Second Opinion:Tawaffeemeans taking completely; this is mentioned by Ibn Jarir in hisTafseer, narrating from a group ofSalaf. He chose and preferred it over other opinions. Thus,the verse will mean: Indeed, I will take you completely (with body and soul) towardsmyself. The Arabs also make use of this word in a similar meaning, they say: tawaffaytumli min fulnI received my total amount of money from him. Nothing of this amount(money) is left behind.

Third Opinion: Tawaffee means sleep; since sleeping is also called Waft. 4 Given thatevidence exists that clearly negates his death, the verse will be given the meaning ofsleep sothat all the evidences carry a unified meaning, as Allah Subhanahu-wa-taalasays: He is theOne who recalls your souls by night, and knows what you do by day; then He makes you riseup therein, so that a fixed term may be fulfilled. Thereafter, to Him are you to return; then Hewill tell you what you have been doing.

5 In another place Allah says: Allah fully takes away

the souls (of the people) at the time of their death, and (of) those who do not die, in their sleep.Then He withholds those on whom He had decreed death, and sends others back, up to anappointed term. Surely, in this, there are signs for a people who ponder.

The last two opinions are preferable over the first opinion. In each case, the truth is what isreflected by the clear evidences and what is established by the Qurn and ahdth; thatSayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam was raised unto the sky alive and did not die, rather he is stillalive in the sky and shall return to this world towards the end of time and will fulfil theimportant duties allocated to him as mentioned in the authentic Hadith narrated from theMessenger of Allahsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. Then, he will die a natural death as destined

by Allah. This suggests that explaining the word tawaffee with death is a weak andunacceptable meaning.

The clear versus of the Qurn reject such claims that he was crucified or killed. Likewise, ifone says that he was not raised to the sky, he migrated to Kashmir where he lived for a longtime and died natural death, and will not descend near to Qiyamah, or anyone similar to himwill come, then these opinions are also clearly unacceptable and false, rather it directs anaccusation to Allah and attributes a lie to His Messengersallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

Similarly, one who claims about himself that he is the one who was to come and fulfil the taskis an open liar; since Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam has not yet descended and shall descend in

the future as predicted by the Messenger of Allah sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. In view of thematters mentioned above, it is known to the questioner and everyone, that one who claims thatthe ProphetMash alayhis-salaam was killed or crucified or one who believes that he migratedto Kashmir and died a natural death and was not raised unto the sky, or one who says that hehad already come or his similar will come, or that there is no Mash who will descend fromheaven, indeed such a person attributes a great lie to Allah, rather he disbelieves in Allah andHis Messenger sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, and one who disbelieves in Allah and HisMessenger, is indeed aKfir.

Such a person should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness and it should be explained tohim regarding the matters of the Qurn and Sunnah. If he seeks forgiveness and returns to the

truth it is to be accepted, otherwise he will be killed as an apostate (by the Islamic State andnot any individual or group).

There are numerous evidences of his Haytwhich are documented in the Qurn, mutawtirahdth and Ijma (consensus) of the Ummah. One of them is what Allah said in Surah Nisaabout Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam: In fact they did not kill him nor crucify him, but theywere deluded by resemblance. Those who disputed in this matter are certainly in doubt aboutit. They have no knowledge of it, but they follow whims. It is absolutely certain that they didnot kill him, but Allah lifted him towards Himself. Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 7

From amongst those traditions narrated from the Messenger of Allah constantly with tawtur8

(succession) The messengersallallahu-alayhi-wasallam has mentioned that he (Isa alayhis-salaam) will descend during last time as a just ruler; he will killDajjal, break the Cross, killthe swine and will abolish theJizya (taxation) and will not deem acceptable any creed butIslam. 9

7 Surah An-Nisa : 157-1588 Tawtur is a hadith recorded by a group of individuals, sufficiently large and disparate that it would beimpossible for them to have agreed upon a lie. (Khair-al-Usul, P3)9 Bukhari,Kitaab-al-Buyu', Baab Qatl-al-Khinzir&Kitaab-al-Mazalim,Baab Kasr-as-Salib wa Qatl-al-Khinzir,Sunan Ibn MajahKitaab-al-Fitan,Baab Fitnat-al-Dajjal wa Khuruj Isa bin Maryam (with a variation of wordingamongst the ahdth). Note: 'will not deem acceptable any creed but Islam' was not mentioned in any of the

These are mutawtir traditions and were definitely narrated by the Messenger of Allahsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. The scholars of Islam have agreed to accept them, believed intheir message and mentioned them in the books ofaqid(beliefs).

Whosoever rejects them based on reasoning them to be at the level ofkhabr whid10 and doesnot consider them to suffice for certainty, or interprets the ahdth to mean other than the

proper meanings and interpretations i.e. that people in the last times will start following themoral values ofMash alayhis-salaam, such as mercy and affection and will start holding fastto the spirit of the Shariah and core objectives - his interpretations are clearly false, deceitfuland opposed to what was said by the Imams of Islam. In fact, it even amounts to rejecting theevidences which are established with tawtur and is an injustice with the Shariah and anattack on Islam and the ahdth of the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

The proper meanings and interpretations ofahdth are those explained and transmitted to usby the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam himself, the Sahabah and scholars ofIslam.

This form of rejection and assumptions are from such people who follow their own desires andthus transgress from the path of truth and guidance. One who is well-versed in the knowledgeof the Shariah, believes truly in the Messenger and reveres the rulings and commandments ofthe Shariah does not have the audacity to utter such nonsense.

As for saying that the traditions dealing with the subject ofMash alayhis-salaam are hd(single traditions) which do not imply certainty, it is clearly baseless; since there are manytraditions which were recorded in Hadith collections of the Sihh11, Sunan12, andMasnid13that are narrated with different chains and sources. These traditions sufficiently comply withthe conditions of tawtur. How is it then possible for a person with the least insight in thematters ofShariah to discard and not rely upon them?

However, even if we suppose that these are single traditions, every single tradition does notnecessarily entail uncertainty; rather, correct is what was agreed by the great scholars that ifsingle traditions are narrated with various chains and reliable sources without being incontradiction with other traditions, they will entail certainty and reliability. The traditions ofthis chapter bear similar standard, as these are authentic and reliable traditions transmittedthrough various sources and chains and there are no traditions which contradict them, so theywill surely entail certainty whether we call it mutawtirorhd(transmitted through multiplechains or single chains). Thus, the questioner and others discover the fallacy of this doubt anddeviation of its claimant from the straight path.

ahdth of the Sihh Sitta (six most authentic collections ofahdth), but this addition was recorded in Tafsr IbnKathir 1:577 under the commentary of verse 4:159.10Khabr whid literally means: a tradition transmitted by a single narrator, and according to the terms of themuhaddithn is a hadith that does not fulfill all the conditions of tawtur. According to Nuzhat-al-Fikr SharhNukhbat-al-Fikr - P21: the plural ofKhabris akhbrand the plural ofwhidis hd.11Sihh Sitta is the six collections ofahdth - (1) Sahh Bukhari (2) Sahh Muslim (3) Jami' Tirmidhi (4) SunanNasai (5) Sunan Abu Daud (6) Sunan Ibn Maja. Sahh, according to the muhaddithn, is a book which containsahdth related to all subjects.12Sunan is a book that contains the ahdth ofahkm (rulings) in the ordered by the chapters of Fiqh.13Masnid- plural ofMusnad, is a book which contains ahdith from the Sahabah (companions) in order of thecompanions' status, alphabetical order or in order of embracing Islam. (Khair-al-Usul fi Hadith-al-Rasul, P7)

A more heinous and a greater presumption is to misinterpret these traditions against what ismentioned in Qurn and Hadith; since this is, on one hand, negation and rejection of theQurn and Hadith, disbelief in what was described in the Hadith about the descent ofSayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam, his judgment between people with justice, his killing ofDajjaland other things mentioned in ahdth. While on the other hand, it is attribution of distortion

and misrepresentation to the Messenger sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam who is the mosteloquent of all and most learned of the Shariah, the Holy Prophet must be free of such falseaccusations. Such a statement resembles the statement of the atheists who ascribe stupefactionand falsification to the prophets just for the pleasure of people; their utterances are in completecontradiction with the truth. The people of knowledge and Imaan have refuted them andrejected their views with clear evidences and strong arguments. So, we seek Allahs refuge

from the deviation of hearts and ambiguity of matters and from the deviating evils and thewhispers ofShaytn. We pray to Allah, the High, to protect us and all Muslims from obeyingthe desires and Shaytn, and Allah has power over all things, there is neither might nor powerexcept with Him, the Great and the High. We hope that this much will be satisfactory for thequestioner for clarification of the truth. Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may

Allah bless and grant peace to His salve and Messenger Muhammad, all his descendants andall his companions.

One who Rejects HaytMash is no longer a Muslim

All Praise is due to Allah who is the most aware of the truth, blessings and peace be uponSayyiduna Muhammad, his descendants, his companions and their true successors till the Dayof Reckoning.

It is the belief of the Ahl-e-Sunnah wal-Jamaah in accordance with the Shariah that it isnecessary to believe that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam is still alive, will descend in the lastdays and will implement the Shariah of Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallamand wage jihad in the path of Allah, as is proven with tawturfrom Sayyiduna Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

Holding this belief is wjib (necessary); since the evidences from the Qurn and Hadith areclear concerning this matter. Allah, in His book - which is above all doubts and suspicion,states: In fact they did not kill him nor crucify him, but they were deluded by resemblance.Those who disputed in this matter are certainly in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of

it, but they follow whims. It is absolutely certain that they did not kill him, but Allah liftedhim towards Himself. 15

It is established by mutawtir ahdth (successive traditions) that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam will descend in the last days as a just ruler, break the cross, kill the swine and abolishjizyah (tax). Those days, wealth will be so abundant that it will find no recipients.16

There are other details mentioned in the ahdth, which deal with his life, descent and his lifeafter descent and so on. These traditions have reached the grade oftawtur. While on the otherhand, there is no single authentic tradition mentioning his death or containing any statementagainst his descent in the last days. The Qurn clearly mentions that Isa alayhis-salaam was

raised unto the sky, he was not killed, and when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam informed that he will descend in the last days and mentioned the details of his lifeafter descent in unambiguous words, so now it is compulsory for every Muslim to profess it ashis belief. Now, one who will doubt this will be regarded a Kfirby the Ijma of the Ummah;since this belief is considered an integral part of beliefs. All the objections of deviant andignorant people in this regard are baseless; the people of knowledge should not pay anyattention to such nonsense and hold fast to the correct version of religion.

It is completely incorrect to take the verse 17 to mean that he (Isaalayhis-salaam) first died and was later raised to into the sky. This meaning (of the verse) isagainst the belief of theAhl-e -Sunnah wal-Jamaah.

Its correct meaning is as follows: I shall give you death after ascension and after descent onearth in the last days, orI shall give you death after you complete your term of age. In this

days. Therefore, the Urdu translation of the Fatwa published in Al-Mimbar Vol. 12, Issue 2515 November1967 is reproduced with a slight variance.15 Surah An-Nisa : 157-15816 Bukhari,Kitab Al-Buyu', Bab Qatl al-Khinzir& Kitab Al-Mazalim,Bab Kasr as-Salib wa Qatl al-Khinzir17 l- Imran : 55


11/73

10

way, it is information from Allah to Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam that the Jews will not killhim, as the verse implies: and (I shall) cleanse you of those who disbelieve.18

The Messenger, Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam was the representative of Allahswords, as Allah says: so that you explain to the people what has been revealed for them. 19Hence, his explanations about Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam state that he will descend in the

last days, wage war in the path of Allah, killDajjal, marry and have children etc. These detailsremove every doubt that arises about his death. This meaning of the verse is strengthened bythe use of the Arabic letter (waw) in the verse which simply combines two words withoutarranging them in order, as it is in the verse: (perform sajdahand ruku) as rukuis prior tosajdah. As far as the following verse is concerned:

And when Allah said, O lsa, son of Maryam, did you say to the people: Take me andmy mother as gods beside Allah? He said, Pure are You, it does not behoove me to saywhat is not right for me. Had I said it, You would have known it. You know what is inmy heart, and I do not know what is in Yours. You alone have full knowledge of all

that is unseen..20

The reply of Isa alayhis-salaam (quoted in the following verse):

But when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witnessto all things.21

The word tawaffee in the reply of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam is used in a literal sense andthere is no harm in its use since Sayyiduna Isa will also taste death after descent. Everythingexcept Allah will perish and every living creature will die, as Allah says : Every soul has totaste death.22

In fact, this verse is the description of that scene (on the day ofQiyamah) in which SayyidunaIsa alayhis-salaam will proclaim Allah is his Lord, and he (Isa alayhis-salaam) is His slave

and not an associate of Him, as was believed by deviant people of that age. Therefore, it is notestablished that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam died before the advent of SayyidunaMuhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

The wording used in the verse:

And when Allah said: O Isa bin Maryam23 refers to future tense, as in the following verse:

When Allah will say, this is a day on which the truth of the truthful will benefit them 24 isalso used in future and not in past tense. Likewise, the verse:

Allahs command has come25 is the best example of future in the form of past, as explainedby the Imams of Tafsr like Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, As-Suyuti etc. Other than this, many suchexamples are found in the Qurn and Arabic literature. This, according to the scholars of

Arabic syntax, aims at emphasizing any event or matter.

It is a strange claim of the Qadiyanis that he was crucified but he did not die. If he did not die,how then is it possible for the word of crucifixion to be applied to him? In the Arabiclanguage, it will not be to crucify rather it will be just to suspend. Thus in view of the clear

statement of the Qurn, it is Kufrto hold the belief of crucifixion of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam. Allah says: They did not kill him nor crucify him.26

Similarly, claiming that he migrated to Kashmir and died a natural death is also entirely falseand baseless; it is not supported by any event of history. Such distorted beliefs are found in the

deviant sects of Qadiyanis. Qadiyanism is in fact a rebellion against Islam which is supportedand nurtured by the colonial powers.

InshaAllah, this evil sect shall soon see its destruction and expire like anything else.

And the end of our call is, praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

Translators Note: The statement of Sheikh Ibn Abbas Maliki proved true. Today, the governments of Pakistan,UAE, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia have declared the Qadiyani mischief as Kufr. The Pakistani courts haveimposed a ban on them; thus the followers of Mirza have suffered a legal defeat. Now, those that remain aretaking refuge in the colonial powers. There is none to give them refuge except their heirs.

FATWA (3)Sheikh Abu-al-Yaseer Aabideen

Grand MuftiThe Republic of Syria

Praise be to Allah alone, blessings and peace be upon the one after whom there is no prophetto come.

The Qadiyani sect does not believe in Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam aslast Prophet, this ultimately results in opposing the verse of the Qurn that declares him as theseal of the prophets. Moreover, it rejects several other beliefs of the Islamic faith.

Therefore, I issue the Fatwa ofKufrof those who hold such beliefs.

And, Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala knows best.

Grand Mufti of Republic of Syria - Damascus

FATWA (4)Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Subayyil

Imam of Masjid-al-Haraam (The Holy Kabah)

Praise be to Allah alone, blessings and peace be upon the best of His creation, Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

I have checked what the esteemed scholars have written in the refutation and Kufrof thosewho reject the descent of Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam. Undoubtedly, one who rejects thedescent of Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam in the presence of many traditions (ahdth-e-mutawtira) on this chapter will become Kfir; since he opposes Allah and His Messenger,and one who opposes Allah and His Messenger is aKfir.

Opposing the belief that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam will descend has become commonamongst the deviant sect of Qadiyanis. The Qadiyanis have rejected in what was revealed toour Prophet Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam since they reject Sayyiduna Isas descent

and believe that he died a natural death. There is no doubt that such beliefs are clearKufranddeviation and rejection of Allahs book as Allah says: In fact they did not kill him nor crucifyhim, but they were deluded by resemblance.27

The Qadiyanis do not believe Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam as the lastand final messenger, this is also Kufr; since they believe in a new prophet after Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. This rejects Allahs saying: Muhammad is not a father of any of

All praise is due to Allah. May blessings and peace be upon Sayyiduna Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, the Messenger of Allah May Allah bless him and all hisdescendants and companions and those who follow them sincerely till the Day of Judgment.

I studied the Fatwa of Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz; consequently I found it establishing thepure truth. This is the belief we adhere to and hold. The Muslims must avoid fabricationsadopted by the followers of the Dajjal Qadiyani. The Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallamwarned against him and his likes that will emerge in last times and will claim to be prophetswhereas in fact they will be liars, deceivers and fabricators.

The correct Islamic belief is that Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam was respectfully raised to thesky and remains there till this day. He has not yet descended and will descend near the day ofQiyamah. Therefore, we hold this belief and profess the same, and it is only Allah who guidesto the straight path.

All praise is due to Allah. I came to know what the Muslim Ulama have written in refutationof the Qadiyanis and I support all their writings related to the refutation of this claim whichcontradicts the Qurn and Sunnah. Anyone who rejects the descent of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam in the last time and his ruling according to the Shariah of the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, or one who rejects the verse of the Qurnwhich says he was neither killednor crucified but Allah raised him to himself, such a person is an apostate and withdrawnfrom Islam.

FATWA (20)Honourable Sheikh Hassanain Muhammad Makhloof, Grand Mufti of Egypt and

Member of the Established Association, Rabita Alam-e-Islami, Makkah Mukarramah

The honourable Sheikh Hassanain Muhammad Makhloof after graduating from AzharUniversity attained great ranks in his country. Due to his glorious nature he was chosen as thehead ofRabita Alam-e-Islami. The sheikh was a resident of a hotel in Makkah Mukarramahwhen the compiler of (the book) Fatwa Hayt-e-Mash alayhis-salaam; Moulana ManzoorAhmad Chanyoti requested the sheikh to write a Fatwa on this topic. Sheikh Makhloof, beforewriting the Fatwa also presents a brief introduction to himself - that has with the praise ofAllah become a part of his history. The introduction and translation of the text of the Fatwa isstated below: 29

Introduction of Sheikh Hassanain Muhammad Makhloof

Birth and Life of Studying

His name is Hassanain bin Muhammad Hassanain Makhloof. He is a Hanafi and lives inAzhar. He was born on the 6 th of May 1880 in Cairo. His father Muhammad Hassanain

Makhloof was from amongst theshuyukh of Azhar and was a follower of the Maliki fiqh. Hewas associated with the Adawi tribe. Sheikh Hassanain Makhloof acquired knowledge fromJamiah Azhar after completing the Qurn by memory with tajweed at the age of 11 andobtained the certificate of Alimiyyah in 1914 with high grades. He was made a judge in theshari court in 1916.

He kept advancing until he attained the post of chief justice of the Shari court inIskandariyyah in 1941. He was then made director of the CID Shari department in 1942 andthe vice chief justice of the supreme court in 1944. He was selected as grand Mufti of Egypt in1945. In 1948 he was elected as a member of the majlis-e-shuyukh and his period ofoccupation ended in 1950, at the age of 60. After one and a half years he was assigned to thedepartment ofdarul ifta for a further two years. After two years he left the occupation ofIftaand began teaching and compiling books. He still remains in this occupation. He wasnominated twice in the department ofIfta in the time of President Faruq.

The Qadiyani Group:

Sheikh Makhloofthe grand mufti of Egypt says regarding the Qadiyanis.

The following is the English translation of the original Fatwa:

The Qadiyanifitna is from amongst the sects who are astray and are outside the fold of Islam.Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani laid its foundation in the 19th century in India. Thebiographers of Mirza Qadiyani have related his history. Recorded in its detail is that MirzaQadiyani was a victim of hysteria and nerve pains in his youth and he would use someintoxicating syrups for purposes of cure. He has claimed in his bookBuraheen-e-ahmadiyyahthat he has been appointed by Allah to reform the creation according to the way of Isa binMaryam alayhis-salaam. He also claimed he had many divine inspirations and whoever willgo to the city of Qadiyan will find many heavenly signs and unusual things.

He invited Indias Islamic organisations that they announce the virtues and greatness ofimperialism and to spread the notion that to wage jihad against the British is forbidden(haram) and also that the British are Allahs mercy for mankind.

Mirza Qadiyani said, I have written fifty thousand books and pamphlets praising the British.He also said the British have been sent as a favour for the Muslims and following them iscompulsory (wjib). He admitted he is a servant for the British.

He requested that his family in India is treated courteously 30 since he has been planted by

them.31

There are similar disgraceful texts available. He then began advancing in his claimsuntil he claimed that Hadhrat Isas alayhis-salaam soul has entered into me (Hulool) andwhatever he speaks about are Allahs words just as the Qurn and the Torah.32 He alsomentioned that Damascus (where Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will descend) is Qadiyan, just as

it is referred to as Masjid-e-Aqsa according to the Qadiyanis.33 After Makkah and Madinah itholds the third position.34

He claimed Allah sent him revelation that exceeds ten thousand verses, and whoever rejects itis a Kfir. He claimed the Qurn has testified his prophethood35 and that the prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam has also approved of it. He has clearly proclaimed the death of

HadhratMash alayhis-salaam and his being buried in Kashmir and even pointed out the gravein Kashmir.

These are the beliefs of Mirza Qadiyani and his apostate followers.

They say whoever did not attend the pledge of allegiance of Mirza Qadiyani is Kfir.36Pakistans Qadiyani foreign minister Sir Zafarullah Khan, who was a follower of MirzaQadiyani, did not pray the funeral upon the body of the founder of Pakistan Mr MuhammadAli Jinah as he (Muhammad Ali Jinah) would call the Qadiyanis unbelievers.

Mirza Qadiyani did not suffice with just these anti-Islamic views. He also claimed he is more

virtuous than all the prophets and that Allah has sent a revelation to him in the followingwords:

O moon, O sun, you are from me and I am from you.37

You are from me and I am from you - Your appearance is my appearance.38 Allah praises youfrom the throne and walks towards you.39 This is how his clear lies and severe misleadingthoughts are. The poet and philosopher of the east, Allama Muhammad Iqbal disgraced himabundantly and also condemned Indias grand minister Jawahir Laal Nehru who had a great

interest in the Qadiyani group in his own city and in Pakistan since they went against Islamand were in opposition of the prophethood of Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

In the same way, our friend Allama Sayyid Abul Hasan Ali Nadawi, talented friend AbulalaMawdudi and Imam Akbar Sheikhul Khizr Sheikh Al Azhar have each written articles in thisregard similar to what I have wrote regarding the history and teachings of Mirza GhulamAhmad Qadiyani and his views. I studied the book of Mirza Qadiyani - Tabligh which is fullofKufr, deviation and falsifying Allah and his prophets.40

I also studied the treacherous excuses and hypocrisy that was adopted to gain closeness to theBritish and the leaders of India at the time. In this book the immoral and indecent nature ofMirza Qadiyani clearly became apparent. When Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani died on 26 thMay 1908, his friend (with him in deviation and the author of the book TasdeeqBuraheen-e-ahmadiyyah) Hakeem Nur-ud-Din became Mirza Qadiyanis successor in his claims and false

allegations.41 He died on 13th March 1914. Before his death he chose the founder andsuccessor of the deviant group Qadiyaniyyat to be Mirza Qadiyanis eldest son Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood.

Muhammad Ali, a self acclaimed founderof theLahorigroupan ofshoot of the Qadiyanisect has translated the Qurn in English, which has many copies in print. He only gives the

title of mash mauood to Mirza Qadiyani. He has many anti-Islamic opinions in thetranslation of the Qurn. We encourage all the Muslims to avoid this as it is a compilation ofalteration, lies and misguidance. The people that have altered the religion, the enemies ofIslam, the orientalists and the attackers of Islam and Christian missionaries have greatly reliedupon it. With these anti Islamic efforts of infidelity, the Kufrof the Qadiyani group and theirmisguided leader has clearly become apparent.

The correct Islamic Fatwa regarding the opinion of Mirza Qadiyani concerning Hadhrat Isaalayhis-salaam and Mirza QadiyanisKufr.42The newspaper of EgyptMabniyus-Sharq published an article many years ago. The translationof the text is as follows:

The Qadiyani (so called Ahmadi) group became successful in attaining the opinion of aSheikh of Jamiah Azhar who claimed the death of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam. Theypropogated that the ulama of Azhar have given a unanimous Fatwa that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam has died. The purpose of obtaining this Fatwa was to strengthen the claim of MirzaQadiyani as being the awaited Messiah. This is because they claim Hadhrat Mash alayhis-salaam has died and his soul has penetrated into Mirza Qadiyani. When this situation causedannoyance to the ulama of Islam, they requested a declaration from the Islamic consultativecommittee (mutamar alame Islami) and the delegate of Azhar. They replied to this promptly.The ulama then translated it into Urdu and had it printed in Indias Islamic magazines. Thisdeclaration was also different from sheikh (Shaltoots) and the unanimous belief of the

Ummah. Hence the newspaper asked me the same question, I replied by saying:

(It is being translated word for word. Study ourFatwa, Vol 1, Page 90 and afterwards)

The logical and sacred evidences are united on this and the Heavenly books are in accordancewith this, that Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala is One and He has no partner. All excellence andcomplete power is from Him. He is the owner of the complete knowledge of everything, thegreat wisdom behind His creation that has been created from the beginning, His leaving itremaining till its fixed time and His finishing it at the time of its ending. To him belongs allthat is in the heavens and the earth. All are subservient to Him.

41 Explanation ofBuraheen-e-ahmadiyyah42 Moulana Manzur Ahmad Chinioti presented the translations of Muhammad Ali Lahori, Bashiruddin Mahmudand other Qadiyanis before General Muhammad Ziyaul Haq (Late President of Pakistan) in the UlamaConvention called on the 21st, 22nd August 1980 where he insisted these copies are seized since the Qadiyanismisguided ignorant Muslims by these translations, in and outside the country. He met the President in person andput forward his request, to which the President approved of and promised to take action. (Ulama ConventionReport, published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Pakistan) Consequently, on the 27 th of Rajab 1401 (1 June1981), the news of confiscation of Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmuds translations was published in Nawa-e-Waqt.Similarly, orders to seize the translations of Malik Ghulam Farid, Molvi Sher Ali, Muhammad Zafarullah Khanand Muhammad Ali Lahori also went ahead.

He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. When He decides a matter, He simply orders itto be, and it comes to be. Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala initially created the creation withoutany substance and this is Allahs creation that He invented. He created humankind in such aform that there was no example before them. This wonderful manifestation came intoexistence by creating Aadam alayhis-salaam from particles of soil. The creation of Aadamalayhis-salaam was without a mother and father. He then created his wife Hawwa from him.

The first disdinguishing factor of human kind granted through the infinite grace of Allah, isthe ability of speech; the second the creation of Isa alayhis-salaam without the agency of afather.

Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala created Hadhrat Aadam alayhi-salaam and Hadhrat Isa alayhi-salaam from his complete power and ability and gave them existence with Kalimah-e-Kun(be) as nothing is out of reach from the power of Allah.

Allah Subhanahu-wa-taalagave existence to the world of souls in a unique way and created

the souls and blew them into the bodies. The soul is under the command of Allah. Allah hasmade specific for himself the creating of it, then giving it another existence, making changesto it and keeping it going. Even the one that strictly denies the being and attributes of Allahcannot claim that any human has the ability to create the soul and spread it out in the bodiesand then give it the effects of life. Rather, only Allah has the full control of it.

Allah Subhanahu-wa-taalahas created a soul for every body that joins with the body at birth.When the fixed amount of life comes to an end, the soul departs from the body and is freedinto the world of souls. It then wanders wherever Allah wills (in lam-e-barzakh) until the dayof reckoning; when all the dead will be raised from their graves. The soul will be given thecommand of returning to those bodies which Allah created, for resurrection.

There is no room for doubt in this fact that, the prophets have a special type ofBarzakhi life(interval between death and resurrection) in their graves that is stronger than the Barzakhi lifeof the martyrs. Holding this belief is not at all contrary to the souls being present in the skies.This is because the souls cannot be restricted from any distance in the world of souls nor canany restraint stop then at any place. It is an established fact that Huzoorsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam met the souls of the prophets at the night ofIsra (when he travelled by night fromMajid-ul-Haram to Masjid-ul-Aqsa) at Baytul Maqdis. Here the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam led the prayer whilst being the imam of all the ambiya. Then at the night of merajwhen the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam travelled to the heavens fromBaytul Maqdis, theProphet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam met Musa alayhis-salaam. A discussion took place with

regards to the prayer. The detail is available in the authentic narrations. Other ambiya alayhim-us-salaam were also met. It is also established from authentic narrations that whoever sendssalutations upon Huzoor sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, He (sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam)replies43 and the deeds of the Ummah are presented to the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

Let alone the souls of the prophets, any soul cannot transfer from one body to another, that itpenetrate inside the other body and begin carrying out its own actions just as is the ideology of

43 The wording of the hadith is as follows: "There is none who sends salutations upon me but Allah returns to memy soul and I respond to his Salaam." [Sunan Abu DaudKitab-al-Manasik : Chapter 96] (Translator)

the people that believe in reincarnation. These people have become extremely astray from notonly Islam but all the heavenly religions. After leaving Islam they have been taken out fromthe fold of all other (heavenly) religions. So Mirza Qadiyanis claim that Hadhrat Isasalayhis-salaam soul has penetrated into him is totally futile, baseless and clearKufr.

It is unanimous according to the Muslims, and the verses of the Qurn-al-Karim substantiate

the fact that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam was neither killed nor was he crucified, rather he wastaken up to the sky before his death. He is alive and will remain alive until the the day Allahhas predestined for him after his descent. Allah had safeguarded him from the evil of theBaniIsrailwhen they plotted to kill him. It was an old trait of the Bani Israilthat they would killthe prophets, and Allah has given the news of this evil trait. Allah placed the resemblance ofHadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam on the hypocrite44 that told the whereabouts of Hadhrat Isaalayhis-salaam. His punishment was to be killed, therefore he was crucified. Hadhrat Isaalayhis-salaam was honoured - in a way that he was physically lifted towards the sky.

As mentioned in the verses of the Qurn:

And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so.45

It is absolutely certain that they did not kill him, but Allah lifted him towards Himself.46

When Allah said: O Isa! I am to take you (i.e. fully with both body and soul) and raise youtowards myself, and to cleanse you of those who disbelieve.47

Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam being taken up to the heavens is possible just as at the night ofMeraj Hadhrat Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam was taken to the heavens with hisbody and soul in the state of being awake and not whilst sleeping. This is not an unrealisticthing, since miracles, are abnormal things, they cannot be weighed upon materialistic scales

nor can they be investigated by manmade laws. This is the power of the creator that He createsthe ability in the body of travelling to the heavens.

Allah Subhanahu-wa-taalamakes the surrounding environment according to the need, just asfor Hadhrat Ibrahim alayhis-salaam He made the burning fire cool and a place of comfort andjust as in an instance He transforms the angelic body of Hadhrat Jibraeel alayhis-salaamangelic into that of a human. An instance of this is when; Hadhrat Jibraeel alayhis-salaamwould bring the revelation to the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam in the form of HadhratDehya Kalbi radhiallahu-anhu. In the same manner just before bringing the punishment uponthe people of Loot alayhis-salaam, Hadhrat Jibraeel alayhis-salaam came as a guest toHadhrat Ibrahim alayhis-salaam with other angels in the form of humans.

When all these activities (under the control and power of the Lord) have practically takenplace and the truthful and trustworthy has informed regarding them, why is it then difficult to

44 The one who was given the resemblance was a hypocrite or companion of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam. Forfurther details refer to, Footnote 2: P5045 Surah An-Nisa : 15746 Surah An-Nisa : 157-15847 l- Imran: 55

21

accept them as true. It is similar to the miracles that become apparent by other Prophetsalayhim-usalaam - that are beyond the imagination of humans.

The truth is, to believe these miracles to be impossible or them being far from understanding,is due to either crookedness in the heart or doubting in the messages given by the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, or by trying to compare the power and might of Allah with the

power and might of the weak human. Otherwise whoever believes Allahs power over everything and believes in prophethood and accepts that miracles can occur by the prophets andaccepts their occurrence in reality, will believe these things are certainly easy for Allah. Ifthese are abnormal, they are only so for the human mind. He will also believe that all thesethings are very simple for the cherisher of the universe. Rejecting miracles is, in realityrejecting the power (Qudrah) of Allah.

The explanation of this matter need not be mentioned that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam wasborn in an extraordinary way, then his becoming mature, conveying the message ofprophethood to the Bani Israiland their opposing Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam, not only this,but secretly making the tainted plot to kill Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam (and Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala keeping him safe) is indeed extraordinary. This was testing the Bani Israil. Butsaying an unrealistic thing to Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam and attributing lies towards him ismore astonishing than this.

It is sufficient for us what is related in the Qurn regarding him:

Spoke he (the baby), verily I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the book and mademe a prophet. And He has made me the blessed one wherever I be (meaning Allah hasdestined these things for me in his knowledge), and has enjoined Salah and Zakah upon me aslong as I am alive. And (He has made me) good to my mother, and he did not make meoppressive (or) ill-fated. And peace is upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die(meaning towards the end of time after ascending from the heavens and ruling according to theIslamic shariah, breaking the cross and after killing the swine) and the day I shall be raisedalive again (on the day of judgement) . 48

May Allahs mercy descend upon Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam and our Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam.

This is all the detail I wrote at the time to refute the astray and apostate Kfirgroup ofQadiyanis and to clarify the mistake of the Azhari Sheikh that was also published in thenewspapers and books. Whatever this deviated Azhari sheikh wrote was due to his ignoranceor enmity.

And Allah is the helper of the righteous.

(21)The answer is correctIsrar bin Abdul Maula Tashqandi

FATWA (22)Hadhrat Moulana Mufti Deen Muhammad Khan

Dhaka, Eastern Pakistan (Bangladesh)


The answer is correct without a shadow of doubt. Huzoorsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam states:Indeed Isa alayhis-salaam has not died and will certainly return to you before Qiyamah.49

Know that three groups have been developed (from amongst the Christians) with regards to Isaalayhis-salaam. The first group says: God i.e Isa alayhis-salaam lived amongst us and thenwent towards the heavens.50 The second group says: Gods son i.e Isa alayhis-salaam livedamongst us and then God raised him towards himself. The third group says: Allahsworshipper and messenger lived amongst us.

The messenger stayed for as long as Allah desired. Then Allah raised him towards himself.This is the Muslim group. The first two groups overcame the Muslim group and killed them.Thus, the true belief of Islaam (regarding Isa alayhis-salaam) remained wiped out until AllahSubhanahu-wa-taalasent Muhammadsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. 51

Thus, the Muslims hold the belief that Isa alayhis-salaam has been raised to the sky alive andwill return to us before Qiyamah. This is the Islamic belief from the very first day until nowand will remain the belief until Qiyamah occurs. As Allah states:

O Isa, I shall take you and will raise you towards myself.52 There is precedence andpostponement in this verse. In other words, I will raise you towards myself and take you, asnarrated by Ibn-e-Abi Hatim from Qatada.53

49TafsrIbn Kathir : Vol. 1, P366 - Durr-e-Manthur: Vol. 2, P3650 Allama Tabri mentioned in his Tafsrfrom Ibn Ishaq who said: A Christian, who later converted to Islam, toldme: when Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam was informed that he was to be raised to the sky, he asked his disciples:

who amongst you desires my company in Jannah, so that he is given my resemblance and be slayed in my place?Sargis said: I am ready. Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam said: sit at my place. And then Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam was raised to the sky. (TafsrTabri : Juzz 6, P11 - Egyptian Press, 1326 from Kutub Khana KhanqahSirajia)Ibn Jarir Tabri rahmatullahi-alayh narrated from Wahb bin Munabbih that a disciple (of Sayyiduna Isa) came tothe Jews and said: if I disclose information about Isa alayhis-salaam, what will you give me? They stipulated forhim, thirty dirham. He received the amount and informed them about Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam. Later theJews crucified the informer. (TafsrAl-Durr-al-Manthur: Vol. 2, P239) However, there are different narrationsregarding this.51TafsrAl-Durr-al-Manthur52 l- Imran: 5553 Ruh-al-Ma'ani : Juzz 3, P158 -Egyptian Press

And that which has come in surah Nisa: And they did not kill him nor did they crucifyhim.54 In this verse, the pronoun is referring to Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam as is evident fromthe apparent meaning of the verse.

This implies that they did not at all kill him, but Allah Subhanahu-wa-taala raised himtowards himself. Where this verse refutes the death of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam it alsoproves the ascension of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam. This is the knowledge I have on thismatter.

Principle of Madrassah Mueenul Islam Ath Hazari, Chitagom

Indeed Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani and his followers are all Kfir, apostate and no longerremains whithin the circle of Islam. These people are rejecters of many of the necessities ofthe religion, for instance the belief of the finality of prophethood, that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam is alive, his being raised to the heavens and his descent towards the end of time. It isan absoloutely clear fact that the one who rejects the necessities of the religion is a pure Kfirand apostate, even though its rejecting is due to taweel (interpretation). This is becausetaweelin the necessities of the religion cannot be accepted, as is the consensus of the people

of truth. Mirza Qadiyani even dishonoured Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam, which in itself isKufr.A greater crime is that he claimed prophethood. He claimed his status to be higher than all theprophets, even that of our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam. This is notconcealed from whoever studies Mirza Qadiyanis books.

THE FATWAOF THE ULAMA OF PUNJAB

FATWA (51)Sheikh ofTafsr and Hadith

Hadhrat Moulana Sarfaraz Khan SafdarPrinciple, JamiahNusratul-Uloom - Gujranwala


We praise Allah and send salutations upon His messenger the final of all ambiya and rasooland upon his household and all of his companions.

After praise and salutations;

The writer studied the booklet comprising of the significant Fatwa of the vice chancellor ofMadina University; titled The one who denies that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam is alive is aKfir compiled by Hadhrat Moulana Manzur Ahmad Sahib Chanyoti - Principle ofJamiahArabiyya andMarkaziyya Dawat-o-Irshad- Chanyot (district Jhang). In this, the corrupt viewof Mirza Qadyani and the deviant Shaltoot of Egypt was opposed, in which claims are made inan attempt to prove that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam was not raised to the sky with the physicalbody and that he will not descend. (We seek refuge in Allah)

It is proven by the clear text of the Qurn, ahdth-e-mutawtira and the consensus of theMuslims that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam has been lifted to the sky alive and will remain alive.He will descend near to Qiyamah and after descending, kill the cursedDajjal, govern for forty

years and then die. The Mulims in Madina will make arrangements for the burial andshrouding and will bury Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam.55

Regarding Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam, Allah has mentioned in the Qurn:

But Allah lifted him (Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam) towards Himself.56

It is mentioned in another verse:

And he (Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam) shall be a sign (for the coming of) the Hour (ofJudgment): therefore have no doubts about it (the Hour).57

It is also mentioned in a long Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Nawas bin Samaan Kilabiradhiallahu-anhu: When Allah will send Hadhrat Isa bin Maryam alayhis-salaam he will

55 A clearhadith about the burial of Sayyiduna Isa alayhis-salaam is recorded inMishkt-al-Masbh. SayyidunaAbdullah bin Umar radhiallahu-anhum says that the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam said: Isa bin Maryamwill descend upon the earth, will marry, have children and live up till the age 45. Then, he will die and be buriednext to me in my tomb. Then, I and Isa bin Maryam will rise from one grave between Abubakar and Umarradhiallahu-anhum. [Mishkt: Vol. 2, P480;Footnote ofTafsrJalalain under verse 3:55] (Translator)56 Surah An-Nisa : 15857Surah Az-Zukhruf : 61

descend on the white eastern minaret of the Jami mosque of Damascus.58 This descending ofHadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will be from the sky.

There is a narration by Hadhrat Abu Huraira radhiallahu-anhu and the chain of this is Sahh(authentic) that the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam mentioned:

How happy you will be when Hadhrat Isa bin Maryam alayhis-salaam will descend amidstyou from the sky and your Imam (Mahdi) will be from amongst you.59

Meaning at the time of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam descending your Imam Mahdi will beamongst you and he will perform the first Fajr Salah behind him, as is evident from thenarrations.

It is mentioned in another narration of Hadhrat Abu Huraira radhiallahu-anhu that the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam stated: Then Hadhrat Isa bin Maryam alayhis-salaam willdescend from the sky.60

In the narration of Hadhrat Abdullah ibne Abbas radhiallahu-anhu the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam states: Thus, on this occation my brother Isa bin Maryam alayhis-salaamwill descend from the sky upon the mountain of afeeq.61

We learn from all of these Sahh 62 (authentic) narrations that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam willdescend from the sky.

Initially, Mirza Qadiyani acknowledged that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will descend from thesky. He writes: For instance these words are present in the Hadith ofSahh Muslim that whenHadhratMash alayhis-salaam will descend from the sky and the colour of his clothes will beyellow.63

He writes in another place: What do these people not know thatMash bin Maryam alayhis-salaam will descend from the sky with all his knowledge and will not learn anything on earth?What has happened to these people that they do not understand?64

In a narration by Hadhrat Abu Huraira radhiallahu-anhu the Prophet sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam stated: Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will live on the earth for forty years afterdescending upon the earth. Then he will die and the Muslims will read his Janazah and buryhim. 65

It is stated in another one of his narrations: Then he will die. Thus the Muslims will read hisJanazah prayer. 66

In a narration by Hadhrat Abdullah bin Amrradhiallahu-anhu the Prophetsallallahu-alayhi-wasallam said: Then Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will die and he will be buried near me in mytomb.67

The belief of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam being alive and taken up to the sky is established bymutawtirahdth (successive narrations).68

Allamah ibne Atiyyah states: Based upon ahdth-e-mutawtir, it is the consensus andunanimity of the whole Ummah that Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam is alive in the sky and willdescend towards the end of time.69 It is the consensus and unanimity of the whole Ummahthat that he was lifted towards the sky. Hence, the Imam ofAhl-e-Sunnah wal-Jamaah -AbulHasan-al-Ashari (rahmatullahi-alayh - died 330 Hijri) states: It is a unanimous belief of theUmmah that Allah has lifted Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam(in physical form) to the sky. 70

Mirza Qadyani has accepted this prophecy as mutawaatir(successive). He writes: This is nota hidden fact that the prophecy regarding the return ofMash bin Maryam is a high rankingprophecy that everyone has unanimously accepted. It holds the rank of the highest form oftawaatur(succession). 71

Due to the belief of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam being alive and being taken up and thendescending from the sky, being established by tawaatur, rejecting it isKufr.

Allama Ibn-e-Hazam (rahmatullahi-alayh - died 456 Hijri) writes: Nevertheless, whoeversays that Allah is in the form of someone or Allah comes inside anyone (Hulool) fromamongst His creation or that any otherNabi other than Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam will comeafter Hadhrat Muhammad sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam, no two people from amongst theMuslims will object with regards to his Kufrsince evidence has been established in each ofthese matters. 72

From this text just as we learn the belief of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam returning, in the sameway the finality of prophethood also becomes apparent.

Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti (died 911 Hijri) writes: Nevertheless, denying the descent of HadhratIsa alayhis-salaam or hisprophethood isKufr. 73

In the light of these clear and unambiguous evidences, it is established that denying Hadhrat Isaalayhis-salaam being alive and His descending is clearKufr. It is established from this Fatwa;

whether it is Mirza Qadyani or Sheikh Shaltoot of Egypt or any deviant on the face of theearth - whoever declines this belief is a staunchKfirand no longer remains within the fold ofIslam. After the completion of this established fact anyone who regards such a person aMuslim is also aKfir.

University and theFatwa of the other scholars of Egypt are absoloutley correct.May Allah keep all the Muslims steadfast on this belief and may Allah reward HadhratMoulana Manzur Ahmad Chanyoti Sahib, who carried out a great effort in the propagation ofthis Fatwa in order to safeguard the Muslims from a great fitna.

The answer without a doubt is correct. There is no doubt in that the ruling ofMusaylama of

Punjab is the same as MusaylamaKadhaab. According to the intelligent ones there is nodifference between the two. The belief of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaam being alive, hisacsention and decent nearQiyamah is established from the Quran, mutawaatir (successive)ahdth and the consensus of the Ummah. Whoever denies this is a Kfirand no longerremains within the circle of Islam. The ruling for him will be the ruling of an apostate.

Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Malik Kandhelwi


Indeed the belief of Hadhrat Isa bin Maryams alayhis-salaam being taken up towards the skyand returning to the earth is unanimous and an important belief of Islam. It is not possible foranyone to be called a Muslim whilst not keeping the belief of Hadhrat Isa alayhis-salaambeing alive and ascending towards the sky. Therefore, whoever denies this unanimous beliefthat is from amongst the necessities ofDeen has exceeded the boundries ofImaan and withouta doubt has become a Kfirand an apostate. The answer of the person issuing the Fatwa isabsolutely correct and accurate.
