Evidence from the Hadith for Jesus' Second Coming

EVIDENCE FROM THE HADITH
The Prophet Mohammed (may God bless him and grant him peace) has
revealed many importantmatters about Jesus' return, as well as some
ofthe things that will happen before and after this event, in his
hadiths. All of this information is from the "Unseen," and was given
to him by God,as related in the following verse:
He [God] is the Knower of the Unseen, and does not divulge His Unseen
to anyone - except a Messenger with whom He is well pleased, and then
He posts sentinels before him and behind him. (Surat al-Jinn ,
72:26-27)
Our Lord also reveals thatHe sent knowledge to Prophet Mohammed (may
God bless him and grant him peace) in his dreams:
God has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: "You will enter
theSacred Mosque [Masjid al-Haram] in safety, God willing, shaving
your heads and cutting your hair without any fear." He knew what you
did not know and ordained, in place of this, an imminent victory.
(Surat al-Fath , 48:27)
God gives such knowledge to our Prophet (may God bless him and grant
him peace) in order to help and support both him as well as all of the
faithful believers who were with him.
Some of this revealed information deals with the signs of the End
Times. The most significant of these revelations concerns Jesus'
second coming. The hadiths about the End Times can be found in sahih
(accredited) hadith collections such asImam Nawawi'sRiyadh as-Salihin,
Imam Malik'sAl-Muwatta', Ibn Khuzayma'sSahih, Ibn Hibban'sSahih, Ibn
Ahmad Hanbal'sMusnad, and Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi's Musnad. From these
sources, we learn that the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him
peace) made many important revelations about Jesus, all of which are
consideredtawatur(reliable).
The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) reveals in his
hadiths that religious morality will dominate the world; that peace,
justice, and prosperity will prevail; and that this will be achieved
by Jesus,who will unite the Christian and Islamic worlds. At present,
many societies are under the influence of anti-religious philosophies,
and the resulting models are obvious. Such problems as immorality,
drugs, terrorism, and famine demand that Christians and Muslims join
together to fight these problems on an intellectual level. The world's
current social structure makes an alliance between Islam and
Christianity inevitable. Considering Christianity's influence over the
West and its leaders, the influence that an alliance between Islam and
Christianity would have is clear enough for all to see.
