Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 145
history when Hazrat Isa, peace be upon him, is believed to have ascended to heaven. If it wasnt, then this allegedly rational scientific explanation of the son of Mary's assumed ascension to heaven and the pace of our present scentific progress would appear to be extremely superfluous. HAZRAT ISA ALAYHE SALAAM'S LIFE AND DEATH. Before one could conclusively determine as to whether Jesus son of. Mary would or would not return to this earth in person, in the same body in which he is alleged to have ascended to heaven some 2000 years ago, the question which needs to be resolved is as to whether he is or is not alive since his disappearance from Palestine in around the year 33 CE. . If he is still alive, then the proposition that he will return in the same body with which he disappeared would be quite viable. If on the other hand he is not alive, then not only could he not have ascended to heaven with his corporeal body but the prospects of his returning to this world in the same body once again, while resting his hands on the wings of two angels, would appear to be as remote as the possibility of. Elijah having ascended to heaven in a whirlwind 46 or the Biblical Messiah descending from above with the cloud of heaven. 47. Traditions attributed to our beloved Prophet suggest that our lord and master, Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, warned Muslims that after his demise, they would find a large number of Ahadith attributed to him but whenever a Hadith is related to them, they ought to judge it according to the Glorious Book. It is further reported that the Holy Prophet advised Muslims to accept only such. Traditions related to them as agreed with the Holy Quran and to reject those which went against the essence of Quranic teachings. 48. In view of this Tradition, sincere Muslims have always found themselves obliged to act upon this advice of their beloved master, peace be upon him. Would it then not be wise to refer this entire controversy in relation to Hazrat Isa alayhe salaam's life and death to the wisdom of the 46. Kings 2. 11 47. Daniel 7. 13 & Matthew 24. 30 146 48.
