What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth says the reasons given for a return do not hold together: the Dajjal simply melts, hatred of Jews contradicts Jesus's own message as a Jew preaching compassion, and killing pigs contradicts a report in Malik that Jesus was peaceful towards pigs.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth asks why Jesus is supposed to come back and says Muslims seem to have tried too hard to find a reason. On the claim that he comes to kill the Dajjal, he says the narrations have the Dajjal simply melting on seeing Jesus, which he calls an anticlimax after the build-up of a great showdown, worse than a disappointing boxing match; if that were all it took, the Mahdi or the Muslims could have killed him. On the claim that he comes to kill the Jews so that even rocks give them up, he asks where this hatred of Jews suddenly comes from, noting that Jesus was a Jew who spent his life preaching love, compassion and turning the other cheek, yet is made to return as a force compelling everyone to be Muslim and ruling over Jew and Gentile with nobody's faith counting any more. On the claim that animals will become safe except pigs, which Jesus goes around killing, he says this makes no sense and cites a sahih report brought by Imam Malik that Jesus, on seeing pigs, was peaceful towards them. He says his point is not to attack but to show the conflict.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth holds that the reasons given for Jesus's return, killing the Dajjal who simply melts, killing the Jews, and killing pigs, conflict with each other and with Jesus's own message, and that a report in Malik has Jesus peaceful towards pigs.
“Jesus is a Jew by the way Jesus a Jewish you know it doesn't make any sense and Jesus spent his whole life speaking about love and compassion and turn the other cheek”

went on today about this because I felt it created such a discussion on line I wanted people to understand where I'm coming from why I feel this is because it reads exactly from the Gospels and then the detail of this because the big question is why is he actually coming because then it looks like Muslims have tried too hard to find a reason for his coming oh because he's gonna kill the job but then the gel just died straight away as soon as he yeah I mean you know if that was all healers why not the Madi just kill him or why not the Muslims just get together and kill him
well why create you know this was the the big fear that as soon as Jesus comes he just melts I mean that sounds of it it's bit of an anti-climax isn't it like oh here's this great rest you know this great showdown between the great titans but as soon as he comes Jesus dead it's like yeah should have at least put up a bit of a fight like people do know this it's more disappointing than it's more disappointing than then some of these boxing matches what's his name mayweather big fight of mayweather
everybody stayed up to watch i don't actually follow boxing but those fights are disappointing so you think well look come on they should be some awesome showdown but no so it seems that muslims are almost trying really hard to make up a reason for why jesus has to come back because oh he has to kill the jews and then the rocks will stop but why does he have to you know what is all this about hating jews all of a sudden like why do we have to hate Jews I'm like I don't get this like it's really all of a sudden and Jesus is a Jew by the way Jesus a Jewish you know it doesn't make any sense and Jesus spent his whole life
speaking about love and compassion and turn the other cheek and no you know I don't want to fight and all of a sudden he comes back and now he's this kind of like a force everybody to be Muslim and I'm here and I'm gonna rule over Jew and Gentile and I'm this kind of judge and by the way nobody's faith counts anymore and and all these things so look so this is why and by animals will become vegetarians and all animals are safe except pigs because Jesus is going around killing pigs which makes no sense obviously why he's killing pigs but anyway he's killing pigs but what does
Asahi Hadid say that Imam Malik brings that Jesus when he saw pigs he was really peaceful with pigs so you see when you look at this and the Sun so look my point isn't to I want to retry something does this one when you look at this to sum this up when we look at the overall message of these I hadith we find it conflicting with sorry when we look at the details of these hadith we find them conflicting with the overall message of the Quran with the overall message of the Sunnah
