Did Imam Malik believe Jesus will return?

Hadith can't be questioned since it's Allah's decision. Right? Okay. So first of all this point of uh saying right this point of saying that hadith right that Imam Malik because this whole thing let me just check that there's nothing wrong with the uh right now I was just checking for the uh I just thought the mic suddenly gave a weird [laughter] right now.

Um so this whole thing of malikes that he's been stressing you he's saying that look Malikia uh one cannot be a maliki uh have these kind of views one cannot I to say this it is a huge a huge claim that Imam Malik kind of believed this. Now I did go over this briefly before as well.

There is a clear statement of he also states one person only ever said that im uh that Jesus died which is uh hugely inaccurate but he forgot to highlight that that one person who says I mean I don't know if that I'm sure he must be aware that that person that I'm sure he must be referring to is Imam Malik. [laughter] So I im Malik in which is transmitted in the also brings in his highlights that you see Imam Malik did state that Jesus

died a natural death okay on earth now so okay so you've got that statement [snorts] then there's the claim that how could have Imam Malik how could I im Malik have said or believed sorry that there will be no second coming. This is a huge claim. Huge claim.

Now, first of all, that's not how claims are made. [laughter] Claims are made by people claiming them. You understand? What you're doing is you're attributing a belief to someone by saying, well, there's nothing to the contrary that suggests otherwise.

So, for example, if you say, well, you know, at the time of Capernicus and Galileo, people now believed that the earth, you know, kind of they no longer believed a geocentric world model. or or sorry not people but it had come out that the sun is at the center and the earth kind of rotates around the sun. So what you do is you just get somebody from that age or around that age whether it's slightly before or after and you say well I don't see this person saying anything.

So I'm going to assume he too believes that. That's just an assumption. Now you may be right. You may be right that maybe Imam Malik believed that. You may be wrong. Maybe he didn't didn't believe that. You don't know. The only way we know something is by when the person actually says it.

Okay. Now, so okay, let's go to what Imam Malik says. Now, the problem is that there are fatawa. The challenges there are fatawa which are teachings of Imam Malik. The muda which is published in different volumes. You could get it in six volumes, five volumes. Sometimes it has approximately 35 or 30,000 fatwas from Imam Malik in it.

He never teaches which are to do with faith, which are to do with belief, which are to do with practices. He never teaches you that, oh, I'm telling you that you should or that we should believe in the second coming of Jesus. Never. Never says that. Not once. So, okay, let's move on. What's another thing? Immalik was also a hadith scholar. Oh, but sorry, pause there.

What we do have though is a statement from Imam Malik that Jesus was dead. He died. Ma, he died. We do have that. on the other right right okay some right so the comments um let me just finish this then I'll come to the comments right so on the other hand you have IM Malik was a transmitter of hadith so he used to transmit hadith now transmitting hadith does not first of all you know how they say tweeting something or retweeting or liking some

sorry not liking but by retweets do not equate to endorsements. So people often put this disclaimer I mean not everybody but several people put it in their uh Twitter kind of profile etc that retweeting does not equate to endorsing it simply means it's transmission like I'm transmitting something that has been said it may be for discussion it may be for contemplation it may actually be because I'm seeking reputations of it or or you know people to rebuke it may be just to get a conversation going it does not necessitate that I agree with it.

So that's a simple that I mean that is quite factual in in its acceptance that people saying well just because I retweeted this or I re I posted this does not mean but one could one could infer that oh maybe you believe in it that's why however it could be for the other reasons now so does Imam Malik have a rewire that Jesus is coming back Now there are there is one narration not in his main piece but there is a

narration that some people had transmitted from him that he had transmitted and this is a hadith a rewire it is not a statement it's not a teaching it's a rewire in there he states that oh people you know it's been said that Jesus will come at this such and such place Now what we do know is Imam Malik towards the end of his life removes that.

He definitely does not transmit any single hadith to do with the second coming. Even though hundreds of narrations potentially have gone out via just his teacher Shah Absuri who is the key transmitter of the entire narrative of the second coming and who is the most authentic person from Shah Ab Zi according to hadith scholars it's Imam Malik he is the most authentic transmitter from Zohari Imam Malik towards the end of his life stops transmitting from Zohari and actually keeps thousands of narrations of is locked up in a chest of drawers which he

has or some kind of uh a ch uh a chest container now and it's only after his death they are people discover them but he had said to people I have that I refuse to teach because he realized a lot of what he was teaching didn't add up so okay that's one important point I have said that before but just to reiterate that the other thing is Imam Malik in his ma in his m brings hadith which he openly does not follow but he's bringing them for these other reasons sometimes he's very
