    (3:145) All Messengers have passed away before Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ

    “And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah at all. And Allah will certainly reward the grateful.” (Chapter 3 verse 145)

    (5:76) Hazrat Isa عليه السلام Has Passed Away, Like All Messengers Before Him

    “And when Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?’”, he will answer, “Holy art Thou. I could never say that to which I had no right. If I had said it, Thou wouldst have surely known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. It is only Thou Who art the Knower of hidden things. “I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command me — ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things.”  (Chapter 5 Verses 117-118)

    (30:41) Four Events In The Law of Allah With Life

    (22:6) Human Body Becomes Weaker and Weaker

    “O people, if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then consider that We have indeed created you from dust, then from a spermdrop, then from clotted blood, then from a lump of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may make Our power manifest to you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term; then We bring you forth as babes; then We rear you that you may attain to your age of full strength. And there are some of you who are caused to dieprematurely, and there are others among you who are driven to the worst part of life with the result that they know nothing after having had knowledge. And thou seest the earth lifeless, but when We send down water thereon, it stirs and swells, and grows every kind of beauteous vegetation.” (Chapter 22 verse 6)

    (4:79) Law of Allah In Regards To Death

And if some good befalls them, they say, ‘This is from Allah;’ and if evil befalls them, they say, ‘This is from thee.’ Say, ‘All is from Allah.’ What has happened to these people that they come not near understanding anything?” (Chapter 4 verse 79)

    (10:25) Likeness of Life To Vegetation

    “The likeness of the present life is only as water which We send down from the clouds, then there mingles with it the produce of the earth, of which men and cattle eat till, when the earth receives its ornature and looks beautiful and its owners think that they have power over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day and We render it a field that is mown down, as if nothing had existed there the day before. Thus do We expound the Signs for a people who reflect.” (Chapter 10 Verse 25)

    (21:8-9) No Bodies That Do Not Eat

    “And We sent none as messengers before thee but men to whom We sent revelations. So ask the people of the Reminder, if you know not. And we did not give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they to live for ever” (Chapter 21 verses 8-9)

    (23:13-16) Stages In The Human Life

    “Verily, We created man from an extract of clay; Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a safe depository; Then We fashioned the sperm into a clot; then We fashioned the clot into ashapeless lump; then We fashioned bones out of this shapeless lump; then We clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed it into another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators.” (Chapter 23 Verse 13-16)

    (30:55) State of Weakness

    “It is Allah Who created you in a state of weakness, and after weakness gave strength; then, after strength, caused weakness and old age. He creates what He pleases. He is the All-knowing, the All-Powerful.” (Chapter 30 verse 55)

    (23:51) Jesus عليه السلام In India

    It is clear from the Holy Qur’an that Hazrat Isaas has died a natural death and will not return.

    Not Taught Qur'an or Ahadith

    The Qur’an makes it clear that Isa(as) would not be taught the Qur’an or the ahadith which shows he has passed away.

    It is clear from the Holy Qur’an that Hazrat Isaas has died a natural death and will not return.

    Isa عليه السلام Not Aware of the Shirk of His Followers

    It is clear from the Holy Qur’an that Hazrat Isaas is unaware of the condition of his followers on the day of Judgement.

    Khulafa From Our Ummah Alone

    The Qur’an makes it clear that our khulafa would be similar to the khulafa of the past rather than be those khulafa themselves. This shows us that the latter day Messiah would be in the likeness of Isa(as) rather than Isa(as) himself.
