Prophet
Jesus, peace be upon him, is still alive--in the second
sky--worshipping Allah. He will descend to earth before the Day of
Judgment and his descent will be one of the great signs of the nearing
of that Day. Prophet Muhammad informed us Jesus will descend to earth at
a place on the eastern side of Damascus, with his hands on the wings of
two angels. He will meet a group of Muslims getting ready to perform
the Prayer, with the Mahdiyy as their Imam. The Mahdiyy will ask Prophet
Jesus to lead them in that prayer, however, ^Isa will ask the Mahdiyy
to stand imam for them--as a sign that Prophet Jesus will rule with the
rules revealed to Prophet Muhammad. After this one time, Jesus will lead
the people in prayers because he has a higher status than the Mahdiyy.
After he descends, Prophet Jesus will rule the earth with the Shari^ah of Prophet Muhammad, the Shari^ah Muslims are ordered to follow until the Judgment Day. He will break the cross, kill the pig, and abolish the jizyah (compulsory payment by the People of the Book to the Muslim state), because in the rules of Prophet Muhammad the jizyah is only applicable until the descent of Jesus. He will kill the Dajjal, an ugly, evil blasphemer who claims himself as God, and who misleads many people to blaspheme. Prophet Jesus will perform Hajj and travel to visit the grave of the Prophet to salute him, and to greet him by saying, "As-salamu ^alaykum ya rasul Allah", as narrated by Abu Dawud at-Tayalisiyy and others.
During his time, the people of Ya'juj and Ma'juj will appear and cause great destruction to the earth and devastation to the Muslims. Prophet Jesus will take the believers to Mount at-Tur to supplicate Allah there to relieve them from these people. Allah will answer their du^a' and destroy all the people of Ya'juj and Ma'juj. After that, Prophet Jesus will rule the Muslims and there will be a time when peace, comfort, and safety will prevail. Prophet Jesus will live for forty (40) years on earth after he descends. He will marry and have children. Then, he will die and be buried. ^Adullah Ibn Salam said, "It is written in the original Torah that Prophet Jesus will be buried next to Prophet Muhammad" (in the chamber of Lady ^A'ishah.)
CONCLUSION
Prophet Jesus was a messenger of Allah revealed to convey to the people the religion of Islam and to call them to worship Allah, their Creator. Muslims believe in his prophethood and in his truthfulness in conveying that message. Prophet Jesus is alive now, living in the second heaven, worshipping Allah. He will return to earth before the Day of Judgment and will rule the Muslims with the Shari^ah of Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon this respected, honored and beloved Messenger of Allah.
Praise be to Allah, and Allah knows best.
