🧵 Is there Ijma' that Isa AS is alive?

Some Muslims claim there's consensus that Jesus AS is still alive & that denying it is Kufr. But Tafsir Tabari records 4 differing views of the Salaf.

3/4 views translate 'Tawaffa' as 'Taking of the Soul', disproving any claimed Ijma'. Image
VIEW #1: TAWAFFA = DEATH

"And others said: The meaning is: I will take you with the taking of death." Image
VIEW #2: TAWAFFA = SLEEP

"Then the interpreters differed regarding the meaning of 'taking'...

Some said: 'It is the taking [of soul] during sleep' and according to them, the meaning was: 'I am causing you to sleep and raising you during your sleep.'" Image
VIEW #3: TAWAFFA = DEATH (In End Times)

"And others said: The meaning is: When Allah said, 'O Jesus, I am raising you to Me...I will cause you to die after I send you back down to the world.' They said: This is from what is presented earlier but meant to be later..." Image
VIEW #4: TAWAFFA = PHYSICAL TAKING

"Others said: The meaning is: 'I am taking you from the earth and raising you to Me.'...I am seizing you from the earth alive to My presence, and taking you to what is with Me without death, and raising you..." Image
CONCLUSION

• No Ijma' that Isa AS is alive
• Even Salaf had differing views so how can there be Ijma'?
• 3/4 views of Salaf translate 'Tawaffa' as 'taking of the soul'. NOT the body!
• 2/4 translate it as DEATH

🧵 Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's AS Love for Jesus AS

Anti-Ahmadis claim that the Promised Messiah AS blasphemed Isa AS. It is not just a lie but also illogical.

"If I were, God-forbid, to insult Jesus, why would I state that I resemble him? For this would be to undermine my own self." Image
Image
1)
 "He [Allah] has also informed me that Jesus is truly one of the very beloved and pious servants of God and is one of those who are the chosen people of God whom God purifies with His own Hand and keeps them under the shadow of His light..and is among the perfect ones.." Image
2)
 "There is no doubt that the Prophet Jesus as is a great Prophet of God. He is without question loved and honoured by God, a light of this world and the sun of guidance. He was glorified before the Lord God and possessed a status close to His throne." Image

🧵 Similarities in the death of Muhammad ﷺ & Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS

Anti-Ahmadis make allegations about the blessed death of the Promised Messiah AS but such allegations are only mocking the Prophet ﷺ.

Both died while surrounded by family & in remembrance of Allah. Image
1) EXTREME SUFFERING?

Anti-Ahmadis claim that Ahmad AS had to suffer during his last illness which isn't befitting a prophet's death.

Ayesha RA says:
"I never saw anybody suffering so much from sickness as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)."
[Sahih al-Bukhari 5646] Image
2) LAST WORDS: REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH

• Muhammad ﷺ:
"O Allah! (with) the highest companion"

• Ahmad AS:
"O my beloved Allah" Image

🧵Meaning of Nuzul (نزول)

Non-Ahmadi Muslims claim that since the Ahadith use the word Nuzul (Descend) for the Messiah, thus, he is alive in the Heavens with his physical body.

But Nuzul has been used for:
• Muhammad ﷺ
• Dajjal
• Animals
• Armies
• Clothes
• Treasures Image
1) NUZUL IN HOLY QUR'AN

The Holy Quran uses the word Nuzul for the following. Whenever Allah provides something of importance, the word 'sent down' (Nuzul) is used.

• Muhammad ﷺ
• Animals
• Clothes
• Treasures
• Iron
2) NUZUL IN AHADITH

Whenever someone stops at a place or takes shelter, the word Nuzul is used as well.

• Muhammad ﷺ
• Armies
• Dajjal

🧵 Nuzul (نزول) in Ahadith

Many Muslims believe Isa AS is alive and will fly down from the sky only because ahadith mention his descent in the latter days.

1. Contradicts the Quran and Ahadith.
2. Ahadith don't mention descent from "sky/heaven". Image
1) NUZUL OF MUHAMMAD ﷺ

وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took shelter under a Samura tree.
[Bukhari 4135] Image
2) NUZUL OF MUHAMMAD ﷺ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا نَزَلَ الْحِجْرَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) landed at Al-Hijr during the Ghazwa of Tabuk

🧵 Nuzul (نزول) in the Holy Qur'an

Many Muslims believe Isa AS is alive and will fly down from the sky only because ahadith mention his descent in the latter days.

1. Contradicts Quran and Ahadith.
2. Ahadith don't mention descent from "sky/heaven". Image
1) NUZUL OF MUHAMMAD ﷺ

Quran mentions that the Prophet ﷺ was sent down. Did he also fly down from the sky as the non-Ahmadis imagine?

“.. Allah has indeed sent down to you a Reminder—A Messenger, who recites unto you the clear Signs of Allah ..”
[Quran 65:10-11] Image
2) NUZUL OF ANIMALS

Quran also mentions that cows/sheep were sent down as well.

اَنۡزَلَ لَکُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَنۡعَامِ ثَمٰنِیَۃَ اَزۡوَاجٍ
“…. He has sent down for you of the cattle eight pairs.”
[Quran 39:6] Image

🧵Is Isa AS alive? Raf'a Explained | Quran 4:158

Many Muslims claim this verse proves Isa AS has been physically alive in heaven for 2000 years:

بل رّفعه الله إليه
"Rather, Allah raised him to Himself"
[Quran 4:157]

Let's find out! Image
1) ❌ REFUTATION OF THE "SUNNI"/SHIA BELIEFS

The following 🧵 refutes:
1) Isa AS is alive since the verse says he was NOT killed/crucified
2) Isa AS was raised ALIVE to HEAVEN with PHYSICAL BODY
2) ⬆️ ALLAH'S ATTRIBUTE: AL-RAFI

"Among the names of Allah, the Most High, is الرافع (The Exalter). He is the One who raises the believers by granting them happiness, and elevates His close servants by drawing them near"

This attribute is NOT used in terms of physical ascension Image
