31 A Similarly, the ascension of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and his descent was being discussed at some place. A non-A ™ mad ī scholar argued that if they considered the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him) of 5 kilo weight and Prophet Jesus of 1 kilo and put them on two sides of a scale, the one kilo side will be lifted towards heaven. So, that proved the ascension of Jesus’ towards heaven. All ā h guided the A ™ mad ī brother and he told him that his argument was basically wrong. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him) came after Prophet Jesus, so how could Jesus go to heaven before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him) was put on the scale. Secondly, he must realize that as long as the 5-kilo weight stays put on one side of the scale, the one kilo side can never come down. This meant that as long as the sacred remains of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him) lie in Medina, Jesus Christ will remain hanging up and will never be able to come down to earth for his second advent to this world.
