Jesu(pbuh) and Mahdi?
364998
Mahdi is an Arabic word (Name or title, in this case) which  simply means Guided One.\nWe all know who Jesus was. The Jewish Messiah. (PBUH)\nThe Messiah and the Mahdi\nOne and the Same Person\nFrom the Traditions of the Holy Prophet it is evident that the Promised Messiah was to be a follower of the Holy Prophet. One Tradition tells us that \n\n'the Mahdi is no other than the Messiah' [Ibn-e-Maja]\nAnother Tradition says: \n\n'How would it be with you when the son of Mary will descend among you and you will have a leader raised from among you?" [bukhari, kitabul-anbiya, chapter nuzul isa bin maryam] \nThese two Traditions leave no doubt that the Messiah himself will be the Mahdi. He would lead followers of the Holy Prophet and would be one from among them, not an outsider. To think that the Messiah and the Mahdi are two different persons is wrong. It is against the clear indication in the Tradition: 'The Mahdi is no other than the Messiah.' It behoves good believers to ponder carefully over the utterances of the Holy Prophet. If the utterances seem contradictory, it is for us to try and resolve the contradictions. If the Holy Prophet said, on the one hand, that the Mahdi will appear before the Messiah, and the Messiah will then join the Mahdi and his followers in worship; and, on the other, that the Messiah himself is the Mahdi, what are we going to do? Accept one utterance and reject the other? Is it not rather our duty to consider the two utterances carefully and try to reconcile one to the other? The two utterances can be reconciled at once if we use one of them to interpret the other. It seems that the promise of the advent of the Messiah was couched in words which suggested that the Messiah and the Mahdi were two different persons. This suggestion is corrected by the Tradition which says 'No Mahdi but the Messiah' This Tradition makes it plain that the other Tradition is metaphorical. It means that a follower of the Holy Prophet will arise for the purpose of revivifying the world, but would not have that rank of a prophet. Then the promise relating to the second coming of Jesus will be fulfilled in his person and he will announce himself the Promised Messiah. The Tradition, therefore, tells us that the Promised One will start his career as a Muslim reformer who will become invested with the office of Messiah. Divine prophecies have to employ metaphors. They would convey very little otherwise. \n\nIf our interpretaion of these Traditions is not correct, then there are only two alternatives left for a seeker-after truth, both of them absurd and dangerous. Either, we admit that the Tradition, which describes the Messiah and the Mahdi as one and the same person, is not a true Tradition, or, we admit that the Messiah and the Mahdi are two different persons and that the intention of the Tradition is to point to a difference of spiritual significance in the two. It may mean that the true Mahdi would be the Messiah. The other, Mahdi would be insignificant compared with the Messiah. It would be like saying, "Nobody knows but so and so." When we say such a thing, we do not mean literally that nobody else knows. What we mean is that the given person knows very much more. However, both interpretations are dangerous. One requires us to treat, without good reasons, as spurious a Tradition which is a well authenticated one, true on all sound criteria. The other implies that the Mahdi, in comparison with the Messiah, will be as nothing. Such a thought would be contrary to the Traditions which teach that the Mahdi will be the Imam and the Messiah a follower who stands behind the Imam in a congregation. Both alternatives, therefore, are absurd. The only worthwhile interpretation we can put upon the Tradition is that they foretell the coming of a Messenger from among the followers of the Holy Prophet. This Messenger will first present himself as a reformer and later announce himself the Messiah of

Wow! I never linked them together but these similarities are uncanny. The Mormons believe that God use to be a man, I don't think that the restoration movement teaches this.

Mariam is the Arabic for Mary. \n\nIsa is the Arabic for Jesus.\n\nImran was the father of Mariam.\n\nthere is no mention of Haroon. -  There is a Haroun, who is not Mariams sister, rather the Arabic for Aaron.\n\nWho gave you this false info ?

Firstly lets clear up some confusion. \n\nPBUH = Peace be Upon Him.\n\nJesus = Eesa.\n\nThe first point i would like to make is that Using Pbuh for jesus(eesa) is wrong as jesus has never died, he is due to return when the dajal comes to be on this earth. When Jesus does return he is going to slay the dajal and the earth will enjoy 40 years of peace thereafter and then jesus will pass away and die. therefore pbuh is not actually appropriate.\n\nSecondly eesa is the arabic name for Jesus. I dont think there should be much doubt about which name to use as you are free to use any one of the two. Muslims Usually use eesa. \n\nWhilst researching my response to your question i found a very intresting webpage which actually explains every detail of the question you are asking. Please read it at:\n\nhttp://www.answering-christianity.com/eesa.htm\n\nThanks

Who are the Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj?\n\nby Mohammed Ali Ibn Zubair Ali\n\nThe Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj\n\nDuring the reign of Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) people will live an extremely peaceful life filled with prosperity and abundance. Then the wall which imprisons Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj will break and they will surge forth in large numbers.\n\n"But when Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj are let loose and they rush headlong down every hill" (Quran 21:97) \n\nWho are the Ya'jooj and Majooj?\n\nZul Qarnain (A.S.) who was a pious and just Ruler travelled to many lands and conquered them, establishing justice and the Law of Allah therein. Allah Ta'ala provided him with all forms and material strength through which he was able to carry out his conquests and missions.\n\nHe once carried out a mission in three directions, the far west, the far east, and then in a northerly direction. It was here that he came across a tribe of people who complained to him about the tribes of Ya'jooj and Majooj which inhabited the land behind two huge mountains and often emerged from behind these mountains to perpetrate acts of anarchy and plunder among them. They requested Zul Qarnain (A.S.) to erect a barrier between themselves and the tribes of Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj so that they could be saved from their atrocities. With the material strength at his disposal, Zul Qarnain (A.S.) enlisted their physical labor and set about erecting a high wall between the two mountains. The height of the wall or its exact length is unknown. What is known is that the height of this wall reaches that of the summit of both mountains. It is made with blocks or sheets of iron, which is further strengthened by molten lead. In this manner Ya'jooj and Majooj are unable to scale the wall, or cross it, except when it is the will of Allah.\n\n"And when the promise of my Rabb approaces, He will level it to dust" (Quran 18:98) \n\nThey are situated in a land of ice which is hidden from our gazes and the exact location of which is unknown. Though many interpretations do exist in this respect, none of these can be said to absolute.\n\nYa'jooj and Majooj are human beings and according to a narration they are from the progeny of Yafith ibn Nooh (A.S.).\n\nSome Ahadith...\n\nIn a lengthy hadith by Hadhrat Nawwas ibn Sam'aan (R.A.) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said:\n\n"...Allah will send revelation upon Eesa (A.S.) that 'Such a creation of mine is now going to emerge that no power will be able to stop them. Therefore take my servants and ascend the Mount of Toor.' Then Ya'jooj and Majooj will emerge and surge forth in all their fury. When those from among them who constitute the former part of their army pass the lake of Tiberias (which is in northern Palestine), they will drink up all the water of that lake and by the time those that constitute the latter part of that same army pass the lake, they will say, "There used to be water here (long ago). When they reach the Mount of Khamr in Jerusalem, they will arrogantly proclaim: 'We have conquered the people of the earth, now we will annihilate those in the sky.' So saying they will fire their arrows towards the sky. When the arrows return to the ground they will be blood stained.\n\nIn the meantime, Eesa (A.S.) will be on the Mount of Toor with his followers. At that time the head of and ox will be as valuable as is a hundred dinars to you in this day. [This indicates the scarcity of provisions]. Faced with these hardships, Eesa (A.S.) and his followers will make dua unto Allah (to remove this calamity). As a result, Allah will cause sores to appear on the necks of each and every individual of these people which will cause their death suddenly. When Eesa (A.S.) and his followers descend from the Mount of Toor there will not be a single space on the land where the dead rotting bodies of these people is not littered, giving off a ho

Jesus (pbuh) teachings were exactly the same as Muhammad(pbuh) , they called for the same God which is ONE and Almighty. Jesus and Muhammad both were Holy prophets But Alas !!! Sait Paul has changed the whole concept of christanity and its totaly different now .And they did more damage to their religion by changing Bible hundred of times. there are number of confusions in their religion but wish they admit and seek for the truth. May Allah guide all of us Ameen !!!

Something I found interesting while studying Genesis. I did a Beth Moore "Patriarchs"  And I liked it but then I got J. Vernon Mcgee Commentary series and he really expands on the Bible.  Check it out it is really good, anyway on the chapter he did on God's creation of Man he states that "It is quite interesting that our bodies are made up of about  16 chemical elements. Those same chemical elements are found in the ground. The physical part of man was taken out of the dust of the ground. If we were to be boiled down  (gross huh)into the separate chemical elements of which we are made, we would be worth very little in terms of money. I used to say $2.98, but inflationhas increased that figure a little. That is the extent of our bodily worth because we were made out of dust from the ground. But man is more than dust. Physically, dust he is and to the dust he will return, but his spirit is going to God."  Just something I found interesting and wanted to share.

Nahimanaism sounds good to me. The world does need a prophetess for a change and Nahimana (puh) will do nicely. Have some visions and write them down (or just post them on Yah00) and we'll take it from there.
