Masih e Maood- original Masih or Maseel e Masih

           

Qadyanis take Mirza Ghulam Qadyani as Maseel e Masih. They believe the original Masih Ibn e Maryam has died and the Masih who is to return to this earth is not Masih Ibn e Maryam rather he is Maseel e Masih who is Mirza Ghulam Qadyani who has already appeared in the last part of 19^th century in India and who has died in 1^st decade of 20^th century. In the succeeding lines, we would see  Qadyanis’ this view  in the light of Quran and Hadith.

The first part of Qdyanies’ view is that original Masih Ibn e Maryam has died. Let us see what Quran says about Hazrat Masih’ a.s. death. Quran states:

[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you (mutawaffika) and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you  superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Qiyamah. After that to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ (al-imran-55).

A plain reading of sequence of this verse tells clearly that first Allah will give Christians (people following Jesus) superiority over the people not believing hazrat Isa (as) and this superiority will continue till Qiyamah. After that- means after this superiority would have continued till Qiyamah (word ‘summa’  in Arabic language means ‘after that’) hazrat Isa (and people) will return to Allah (means they will die on or near Qiyamah) and Allah will judge between the people in which they used to differ. It may be noted that addressee of this verse is hazrat Isa (as) but word 'kum' in the word ‘ merjiokum’/ your return’ is a plural word; that means 'merjiokum'/ 'your return' indicates not only death of  hazrat Isa (as)  but also  death of all people around, on/ near Qiyamah.

This above mentioned verse clearly states that Hazrat Isa a.s will die on/ near Qiyamah- it means Isa a.s. has not died yet. Therefore Qadyanis’ view about death of Isa a.s. is baseless.  

The second part of Qadyanis’s view is that the Masih who is to return to earth is not original Masih Ibn e Maryam; rather he is Maseel e Masih. We again return to above mentioned verse in order to rebut this view of Qadyanis.

There is no second view that above mentioned verse is about Isa Ibn e Maryam; the addressee of this verse is Isa Ibn e Maryam who has been taken and raised to Allah, and obviously this is Isa Ibn e Maryam. This verse is clearly saying that this Isa Ibn e Maryam has not yet died because he is to die on/near Qiyamah along-with other people around. That means he a.s. would be on earth along-with other people, when Qiyamah would occur on earth. That means the Masih who is to return to earth is original Masih Ibn e Maryam, not a Maseel e Masih. Moreover the long hadith in Sahih Muslim also specifies that Isa Ibn e Maryam would return to people on earth. The word ‘ Ibn e Maryam’ mentioned in that hadith clarifies that the coming Masih is Ibn e Maryam, not Ibne someone else. 

This verse Ale Imran-55 also makes the prediction the nations who disbelieve Isa .a.s. (means who deny Isa’s a.s. Resalah and Nabuwwah) would be inferior to nations who follow Isa Ibn e Maryam. That means all nations except Muslims (because Muslims believed in Resalah/Nabuwwah of Isa a.s.) would be inferior to Christian nations till Qiyamah and Christian nations’ combined strength would be greater/ superior to all those nations who do not believe in Resalah/ Nabuwwah of Isa Ibn e Maryam.

This verse Ale Imran-55 states that first Allah will give Isa’s followers a superiority over the disbelievers of Isa a.s. and that superiority will continue till Qiyamah. After that Isa and people would die. It is obvious when Isa a.s. was taken and raised to Allah, Christians were not superior to people who did not have faith in Isa Ibn e Maryam. Actually Christians started getting strength after three centuries had passed after exaltation of Isa Ibn e Maryam; that means exaltation/ rising of Isa a.s. to Allah cannot be treated as death of Isa a.s. because Christians were not superior at that time to disbelievers of Isa a.s. Now that Christians have got superiority to disbelievers of Isa a.s., Allah may make him return to earth but that period of his return will be closer to Qiyamah as is mentioned in Ale Imran-55.
