What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-written43:61 refers to the Quran as knowledge of the Hour, not to Jesus; 5:75, 21:34 and 43:59, which Qadhi does not mention, count against a return.
In more detail
On 43:61, which Qadhi calls the strongest verse, that Jesus is a sign of the Hour, Mufti Abu Layth says Qadhi mentions only that Hasan disagreed, whereas Hasan and others said it speaks of the Quran, a sign of the Hour since revelation ends with it, which he says makes much more sense; he adds that the word means knowledge rather than sign, the Quran containing knowledge of the Hour. He says Qadhi, having promised an academic discussion, does not disclose the verses that count against a second coming, and gives three. In al-Ma'idah 75 the Messiah was only a messenger, messengers before him died, and he and his mother ate food and were subject to the natural laws of this world; in al-Anbiya 34 Allah gave no human before the Prophet eternal life, which al-Bukhari, several imams and Ibn Kathir use to say Jesus cannot be alive. In al-Zukhruf 59, two verses before Qadhi's verse, Jesus is only a servant favoured and made an example for the children of Israel, which Mufti asks how to square with a returning Jesus who would achieve what no human, not even the Prophet, achieved: world peace, the end of disease and of predatory animals, and global abundance.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says it makes much more sense to read 43:61 as speaking of the Quran, since revelation ends with it, than of Jesus as a sign of the Hour.
“and that actually makes much more sense if you think about it that the entire revelation will now end makes a lot more sense than rather saying jesus is a sign for the hour”

61 that it is a sign for the hour do not be doubtful about it he says this verse is the strongest verse in the quran leaves no doubt right now okay well first of all why doesn't he highlight the he he does say one person disagreed he says hassan well for his information not just hassan japan all of these people mentioned it was the quran that it's speaking about that the quran is a sign since revelation will end with it
and that actually makes much more sense if you think about it that the entire revelation will now end makes a lot more sense than rather saying jesus is a sign for the hour first of all doesn't even mean sign right so means knowledge of the hour the quran contains information it's revelatory detail about the hour now
what he doesn't do is cite verses that go against the second coming of jesus he doesn't highlight that so as you can see here there are three verses i've brought up first first of all this verse in surah maidah verse 75 since keeping in mind that big d said this was going to be an academic discussion then it's only fear that he has full disclosure shows the verses that negate a second coming but he doesn't do that so this first verse
in suramar 75 he is not a the messiah was but just a messenger even messengers before him have died his mother was a devout woman that they would eat food that they would partake in the law natural laws of this world and that means that whatever would afflict human beings would afflict them they were not deities
look how we make clear to them the signs look how they get distracted and go are led astray look at the verse in uh surah ambiya 34 women we have not given any mankind any of mankind before you eternal life
you know if you are to die today would these people live on forever imam bukhari and several imams use this verse to say alai salaam can't be alive today because of this verse ibn kathir and all these people bring it tell me how is jesus still alive then is this verse allah saying we have not given any bashar before you and an etern an eternal life to live on so here's this verse now
now this third verse in sura 59 is two verses before uh the verse that yasar khadi bigidi himself recites and he says that this is why the strongest verse in the quran in is referring to jesus because two verses before it mentions this verse
now notice that this is actually a verse to show that jesus will not be coming back why you ask me allah says in the quran 59 that jesus was just the messiah was just a slave who we favored and we made him an example an exemplary role model for who for bani israel tell me something if by the advent or the coming of jesus according to this second coming claim
jesus will go on to achieve that which no human not even the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi could have achieved he will achieve global world peace he will human emotions that are negative will disappear diseases will disappear the nature of animals will change they will no longer be predatory the lions will gaze with the gazelles the snakes will not attack the infants there will be so much opulence and wealth in the world no human in history has ever achieved that no human in history has ever achieved
that but jesus will accomplish it why then is jesus not here mathelan libani adam why is he not a muscle for entire humanity why for bani israel he is going to go on to achieve what even the prophet cannot achieve according to this claim so now then there's this verse allah says ya isabna maryam in almighty 110 remember my blessings upon you when i
did all of these things for you now note in these 10 things that allah quotes or if you count them as 11 if you separate some of them allah does not mention a second coming even though that would be one of the greatest blessings ever since jesus is about to accomplish world peace which no being in history has ever achieved and this verse where allah says that i will give you death now note that this counts against the second coming because jesus has died in nemo to waffika ibn abbas said
