Does the Islamic religion recognize a future savior?
The Qur’an recognizes the Bible as the word of God, plus a little extra added by men, and thus corrupted. However, the subject of a future savior dominates the language and subject matter of the Old Testiment. How does the Islamic world translate that, or do they choose to ignore it?
I know that Jesus is only regarded as a faultless human being, not equivilent with divinity, and a prophet in Islam. I also know that the Muslims at one point were friendly (so to speak) with the Jews because of their common stance on Jesus and polytheism, but that their neutral ties were severed when the Muslims expected the Jews to recognize an Arab savior (“The Longman Anthology World Literature vol B, pg 406).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
In response to some comments, I want to stress the difference between a “prophet” and a “savior”. Yes, the Qur’an recognizes no other prophets after Muhammed. My question is does the Qur’an recognize a savior?
God Almighty saved Jesus(peace and blessings of God on him), and raised Jesus alive.
God will send Jesus(pbuh) again before the end of this earth. And he will lead worshipers of Almighty, and kill Dajjal(antiChrist), and other non beleivers.
There are indications from sayings of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), that Jesus(pbuh), will remain with worshipers of The God for few years and provide guidance to worshipers of Almighty God.
He will spent a married life, and finally will die. And He will be buried along side with Prophet Muhammad. [ THERE IS ONE SPACE SPECIALLY LEFT FOR MIGHTY AND RESPECTED PROPHET JESUS(PBUH). ]
May Allah give us wisdom to us or our nest generations to recognize Jesus(pbuh) and follow him and his companions of that time.
I personally pray for my self if I find hime in my life (God knows best), I wish to be in team of his companions. Ameen.
May Allah bless us all. Ameen.
