THE DAJJAL AND THE RETURN OF JESUS<br />

Imam al-DhahabI has given a biographical account <strong>of</strong> 'Isa (may<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah's peace and blessing be upon him) in his book, 'Ta;ridAsmd'<br />

u!-Sapdbah' and has noted, ''Isa, ibn Maryam is a companion and a<br />

Prophet. For indeed he did see the Prophet (~) in the Night <strong>of</strong><br />

Ascension and greeted him; so he will be the last <strong>of</strong> the Companions<br />

to die.' 73<br />

3. Thirdly: That the descension <strong>of</strong> 'Isa (may <strong>Al</strong>lah's peace<br />

and blessing be upon him) from the sky is because his<br />

appointed time (for his death) is near so that he can be<br />

buried in the earth. For there is no creation whose origin<br />

is from soil except that he will return it (and no other).<br />

For this reason his descension shall coincide with the<br />

emergence <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Dajjal</strong> whom he shall kill.<br />

4. Fourthly: That he will descend disproving the Christians,<br />

making evident their false and untrue claims.<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah shall wipe out every (single) religion in his time besides<br />

Islam. For 'Isa (may <strong>Al</strong>lah's peace and blessing be upon him) will<br />

break the Cross, kill the pigs and uplift the Jizyah.<br />

5. Fifthly: <strong>The</strong> particularization <strong>of</strong> 'Isa (may <strong>Al</strong>lah's peace<br />

and blessing be upon him) by these matters/affairs, which<br />

have already been mentioned, is due to the statement <strong>of</strong><br />

the Prophet ('I;), 'I am the nearest <strong>of</strong> all people to 'Isa<br />

the son Maryam, for there is no Prophet between me and<br />

him .. .' 74<br />
