I am NOT a strictly religious person but an avid reader of history. Ones you have mentioned apart from Dr Israr & iqbal is nothing noteworthy. Iqbal made a mountain of a mistake, the biggest of all. Masood is condemned by court of law as a liar. Most of the work in eschatology apart from imran hosein does not come from the islamic world, it comes from the christian world as far as back as the schism of christian church in 1054.
Can you be specific about iqbal's mistake ... Iqbal life changes over time ... He happened to be a non-religious person initially but he changed with time and therefore his initial poetry changes alot with time ... For example, he wrote national anthem of india but later on, he became an anti nationalist ... For example: in taza khudaon mn bara sb sy watan hai. Jo perhan is ka hai wo millat ka kafan hai
Dr. Israr Ahmed is a remarkable person and has a very geniun understanding of Islam and QUran ...
"Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad SAW or the Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it" 2:146
"Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know" 2:146
Arsalan bai parhay likhay admi ho, kahan truck ki batti k peechay lag gay ho. Moses told his followers about the Messengers who will come in future, but when the time came very few of them accepted, and rest preferred waiting for another to appear (stories got created). Jesus told his followers who is going to come in future (he even told them the name), again when the time came very few accepted and rest preferred waiting for reappearance of Jesus (stories got created again). Muhammad never told his followers about coming of any other messenger or messiah. But Muslims stopped following Quran and started believing in fairy tales, and see what that brought us, Many amongst Muslims themselves claimed to have received the divine revelation, they have claimed the status of promised Messiah the Mahdi, some like Mr Ghulam Ahmed Mirza went ahead and claimed to be reincarnation of Jesus.
The awaited Messiah for both Jews and Christians have already appeared, but they refuse to accept. However, Muslims were never foretold about coming of a Messiah in Quran, but somehow they are hell bent on waiting for one. Let the Jews and Christians wait and believe in what they want, it has got nothing to do with us.
Unfortunately, your knowledge of Quran and Hadiths is incomplete and you are misguiding others by matching apple with oranges. The above Ayat is about Hazrat Muhammad SAW, how does this mean that there is no other messiah? Furthermore, are you in denial of Sahih hadiths? then please answer my question from where did you get method of offering namaz?
You are also denying the Quran who is unambiguously saying that Hazrat Issa A.S. was not crucified:
THEY SAID (IN BOAST), ” WE KILLED CHRIST JESUS THE SON OF MARY, THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH “;- BUT THEY KILLED HIM NOT, NOR CRUCIFIED HIM, BUT SO IT WAS MADE TO APPEAR TO THEM ” [QURAN 4:157]
Quran also indirectly refers to the second coming of Jesus in the below ayat:
“HE SHALL SPEAK TO PEOPLE WHILE STILL IN THE CRADLE, AND IN MANHOOD, AND HE SHALL BE FROM THE RIGHTEOUS.” (QURAN 3:46)
Manhood word is generally used for an elderly man near about 40 years old at the age where the man gains mental maturity. Hazrat was called at heavens at age of 33 but Quran is saying that he will speak at manhood stage means he (AS) has to come back to make the statement true.
Furthermore, predictions about Gog and Magog are also from Quran that they will be released on earth. We have not seen any nation named Gog and Magog since last 14 centuries. So Quran is also wrong about that?
Gog Magog, Hazrat Issa AS and Hazrat Imam Mehdi AS all are from sahih hadith and pertains to same timelines.
