In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Expected Messiah, Imam Al-Zaman, Mahdi/Mehdi or Jesus' second coming
Jesus coming back if any!!!
THE JEWS EXPECT MESSIAH TO SHOW UP ANY DAY
The Jews rejected and continue to reject Jesus, as the Messiah, and Prophet of God. The mathematically proven scripture of God confirms that Jesus was indeed the Messiah sent by God to the Children of Israel.
[3:45] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'
[3:46] He will speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult; he will be one of the righteous.
[3:47] She said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when no man has touched me?" He said, "GOD thus creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He simply says to it, `Be,' and it is.
[3:48] He will teach him the scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel.
[3:49] As a messenger to the Children of Israel: "I come to you with a sign from your Lord - I create for you from clay the shape of a bird, then I blow into it, and it becomes a live bird by GOD's leave. I restore vision to the blind, heal the leprous, and I revive the dead by GOD's leave. I can tell you what you eat, and what you store in your homes. This should be a proof for you, if you are believers.
[3:50] I confirm previous scripture - the Torah - and I revoke certain prohibitions imposed upon you. I come to you with sufficient proof from your Lord. Therefore, you shall observe GOD, and obey me.
[3:51] GOD is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path."
[4:171-172] O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master. The Messiah would never disdain from being a servant of GOD, nor would the closest angels. Those who disdain from worshiping Him, and are too arrogant to submit, He will summon them all before Him.
[5:75] The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger like the messengers before him, and his mother was a saint. Both of them used to eat the food. Note how we explain the revelations for them, and note how they still deviate!
THE CHRISTIANS EXPECT JESUS TO COME BACK ANY DAY
The Christians falsely made Jesus (Messiah and Prophet of God), a god besides God. This too is confirmed in God's proven scripture - The Quran.
[5:17] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, the son of Mary. Say, "Who could oppose GOD if He willed to annihilate the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?" To GOD belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. He creates whatever He wills. GOD is Omnipotent.
[5:72] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship GOD; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside GOD, GOD has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers.
[9:31] Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.
THE MUSLIMS TOO EXPECT JESUS TO COME BACK ANY DAY
Both the Christians and Muslims fail to understand the death of Jesus. Both expect Jesus to come back to this world. This belief in contrary to the God's proven scripture - The Final Testament (Quran).
[4:157-159] And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him - they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him. Instead, GOD raised him to Him; GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. Everyone among the people of the scripture was required to believe in him before his death. On the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them
Jesus, the real person, the soul, was raised in the same manner as in the death of any righteous person. Subsequently, his enemies arrested, tortured, and crucified his living, but empty, body. See Appendices 17 & 22.
[3:55] Thus, GOD said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes.
[5:117] "I told them only what You commanded me to say, that: `You shall worship GOD, my Lord and your Lord.' I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all things.
THE MUSLIMS ALSO EXPECT THE MEHDI, MAHDI, EL MEHDI, AL MAHDI OR IMAM AL ZAMAN TO APPEAR AT ANY TIME, ANY DAY
The Muslims after the death of prophet Muhammed made their own innovations and fabrications that have no basis in the Quran. They even wrote many books to compete with the book of God, the Quran. The book that God called, the BEST HADITH and asked His true believers to follow no other book than His Quran. In these fabricated books of hadith, stories of a future coming righteous man, named Mehdi, Mahdi or Imam Al Zaman, were circulated. Al Mahdi, El Mehdi or Imam Al Zaman have no basis or origin in Islam or its Holy book, the Quran. Quran ONLY talks about a consolidating and unifying messenger of God who would come after all the prophets have come (see Quran 3:81). The Quran named that messenger of God, the Messenger of the Covenant . In essence he fulfills all the expectations of the Jews, Christians and Muslims of a unifying figure for all of God's messages..
THE MASS EXPECTATION
The Jews have a mass expectation that the Messiah is still to come. The Christians are expecting Jesus to come back. The Muslims also expect Jesus to come back to this world. They also have been waiting on the Mehdi.
God's Messenger of the Covenant
Per Malachi 3;1-3 and The Quran 3:81, God sent His Messenger of the Covenant to purify the scriptures and unify them into one universal message to this world from the God, the Creator and Sustainer of this world.
Dr. Rashad Khalifa, God 's messenger of the Covenant, stated the following in the monthly Newsletter, "Submission Perspective" of September 1989 (PDF).
Through Gabriel: I was commanded to make this announcement:
AFTER I DIE MILLIONS OF BELIEVERS WILL KNOW
That I represent the Messiah the Jews have been waiting for, the Christ Christians have been expecting, the Mehdi the Muslims have been praying for.
I am God's Messenger of the Covenant [Malachi 3:1-8, Quran 3:81]
For those who understand, Dr. Khalifa is not saying he is any of these figures but rather he fulfils what was expected out of these figures. He is not the messiah, Jesus or Mahdi as NONE of these are ever to come, but rather he was the messenger of the covenant who is the ONLY prediction in Quran to come after Prophet Muhammad.
