Do they not know that God knows their secrets and their private talk, and that God is the Knower of all unseen things?(Qur’an, 9:78) |
Many people may wonder what kind of environment there will be when Jesus (pbuh) returns. The hadith provide a great deal of information about this. First, Jesus (pbuh) will make the Antichrist ineffective and end his corrupt system. He will call all people to live according to Islam's guidance and teachings. After the Antichrist's system has been eliminated, people will turn in droves to live by religious moral values. As a result, spiritual and material peace and comfort will blossom and spread. All conflicts and fighting will end, and disagreements will be resolved by peaceful means. Tensions and fears stemming from moral degeneration will give way to security. Justice will prevail all over the world, and a golden age when the old wish to be young and the young wish to be more mature will be ushered in. As there will be no physical and mental pressures to make people uneasy, and as religious moral values will be fully implemented, the finest works of art ever known will be produced and there will be stupendous advances in science and technology. Wherever people may go in the world, they will encounter beauty, wealth, and abundance. This golden age is described in great detail in the hadith, and we shall now look at the delights that Jesus (pbuh) will bring to the world.
Jesus (pbuh) Will Cause Islamic Moral Values to Prevail
Say: ‘The Truth has come. Falsehood can neither create nor regenerate anything.’(Qur’an, 34:49) |
He will lead you according to the Book of your Lord and the Sunnah of your messenger.119
Jesus (pbuh) will come not as a prophet to the people of Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace), but in order to implement the law of Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace).120
Jesus (pbuh) will descend and practice our Prophet's (may God bless him and grant him peace) law.121
He will judge by the law of Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) and follow the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), even though he is one himself, and will belong to the people of Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace)… He will be one of the people and Companions of the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), and he will be the most devout of them…122
There is no prophet between him (Jesus [pbuh]) and me. He will certainly descend. Recognize him when you see him. He is of medium height, of a reddish white color. He will wear two sets of yellow dyed clothing. Water will fall from his hair even if it does not rain. He will struggle for Islam. He will make the Antichrist ineffective and then remain for exactly forty years on Earth. Then he will die, and Muslims will perform the prayers for him.123
He will recognize no other [religion] than Islam … The religion will prevail … Nobody and nothing apart from God will be worshipped.124
Global Peace Will Finally Exist
Then We sent Our messengers following in their footsteps and sent ‘Jesus son of Mary after them, giving himthe Gospel... (Qur’an, 57:27) |
[In his time], there will be no rancor between any two persons.126
[In his time], peace will prevail and people will use their swords as sickles. Every harmful beast will be made harmless ... A child will play with a fox and not come to any harm; a wolf will graze with sheep and a lion with cattle, without harming them.127
The people then asked: "O prophet of God, why will the horse be so cheap?" He replied: "Because it will never be used for war."128
Jesus (pbuh) Will Bring Justice to the World
Jesus (pbuh) will be a just judge, a fully just imam [ruler] within the community of the faithful. He will break the cross [annul the worship of the cross], kill the pig [inform that eating pork is forbidden], eliminate the tax on non-Muslims, abandon alms, and no value will be placed on either the sheep or the camel. All enmity and conflict will disappear and vanish. The world will be like a silver bowl, and there will be as many plants as in the time of Adam (pbuh).129
They desire to extinguish God’s Light with their mouths but God will perfect His Light, though the unbelievers hate it. (Qur’an, 61:8) |
Jesus (pbuh), son of Mary, will come down as a just judge [ruler] and imam for his nation, by attesting to the truth of Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace), and will slay the Antichrist [make him ineffective].130
Jesus (pbuh), son of Mary, will come down as an imam who leads people to the true path and [will be] a just judge.131
People Will Live in Security
Enmity and hatred between people will disappear. Snakes and scorpions will have no venom, and a child will even be able to play with a snake in his or her hand, and the snake will not bite him or her. A girl will chase away the lion, and the lion will not touch her. The wolf will stand and wait among the sheep, as if it were a sheep dog.133
Hatred and enmity among people will disappear, since their causes will have vanished.134
There Will Be Great Abundance
[When Jesus (pbuh) comes,] wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it [alms].135
The son of Mary will return and kill the Antichrist [make him ineffective]. Then you will live for 40 years in prosperity.136
Everywhere food will cook in pots, unseen prosperity will dominate, and material wealth will be disregarded.137
"Earth will turn like a silver tray, growing vegetation as it did in the time of Adam (pbuh) so much so that a group of people will eat a bunch of grapes and it will satiate them; a group of people will eat a single pomegranate and it will satiate them; the bull will be sold for a lot of money; and a horse will cost only a few dirhams." The audience asked: "God's messenger, why will a horse be so cheap?" He replied: "It will not be used as a mount for fighting." He was asked: "Why will a bull be so expensive?" He replied: "The whole land would be tilled."138
Earth's productivity will multiply to such an extent that if a seed is sown in a solid rock, it will grow.139
Even without the plough, the produce of wheat will multiply seven hundred times, one mudd [a measure of wheat] becoming 700 mudd.140
Then Earth will be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing. As a result thereof, there would grow [such a large] pomegranate that a group of people will be able to eat it and seek shelter under its skin. A milk cow will give so much milk that a whole party will able to drink. A milk camel will give such [a large quantity of] milk that the whole tribe will be able to drink out of it, and a milk sheep will give so much milk that the whole family will able to drink out of that…141
