I speak from the traditional knowledge in Islam and the knowledge of the saints of Islam.
Allah Almighty (God Almighty) willed that Jesus symbolizes victory. Jesus met with enmity and was considered a liar, but Allah Almighty gave him miracles that discarded all doubts about him. Jesus came with most clear signs, reviving the dead, healing the born blind and the lepers, etc. As such, Allah meant that Jesus represents absolute victory.
Jesus was not killed. He was raised to heavens, while the one who betrayed him was made to look like him, and was thus crucified.
This is the wisdom behind his supposed coming back in the end times. It means in the end times there will be absolute victory of God, and that means absolute victory of Muhammad and Islam, his religion, peace be upon him and his family. That is not done by the sword. When God wants to crush you, He only needs to say be, and it is.
Jesus was born on the 10th of Muharram (the first month in the Islamic calendar) and was raised to heavens on the 10th of Muharram. That was last month. Today is the 23rd of the 2nd month (Safar).
That is a very special day. It is among others, the day when Pharaoh was drowned as he was pursuing Moses and his people and the day when Joseph came out of the well.
Islam and the Muslims have a much greater right to Jesus than Christianity and the Christians.
Be it for our differences about Jesus only, we Muslims will never take you Christians as friends. You spread the most wicked lies about Jesus the victorious. Curses of God and of all inhabitants of the heavens fall on you every time you say this, and every time you say God has begotten a son. Islam respects and honours Jesus. Christianity does not. And the Qur'an says:
"And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples."
No, don't say: "there are no pilgrims"
Those who, like Jesus are not visible to our eyes
Just because you are not close to the mysteries
You think that others also are not
Rumi.
God once mentioned to Jesus the fact that he did not marry, telling him that on the Day on the Judgment, He will marry him to 100 Hurs (heavenly companions, created out of light). His marriage ceremony will last 4000 years.
Jesus would eat of the desert plants, drink water from ponds, and dwell in caves and ruins. To sleep, he would take a rock to rest his blessed head on it. On one occasion, he threw the rock away saying:
"it is of this world."
Jesus taught to have great consideration for the wisdom one teaches to one's students. Wisdom should be taught only according to the student's ability to understand. The student should not be taught what he can not understand. To Jesus, wisdom is most precious, and whoso knows it as futile is greatly vile.
When Moses came, he announced that a magnificent one and the beloved of God would one day come. That one, through his charisma would somewhat remind of Moses. That one whose coming Moses announced was Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
When Jesus came, he wanted to clarify that he was not that one whom Moses talked about. God mentions it in the Qur'an this way:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
Ahmad is another name for Muhammad. When we say Ahmad, we point to Muhammad in heaven. When we say Muhammad, we point to Muhammad on earth. But in any case Muhammad is the generally used name.
Ahmad in English means the most glorious. Muhammad means the most praised.
When Jesus (peace on him) was asked about the greatest knowledge (the greatest science) by his disciples, he replied fear of God, accepting fate and love of God.
