If Jesus is believed to return in the future, does that mean Prophet Muhammad cannot be the final prophet? Does “returning” automatically make Jesus the last prophet instead?

📘 Answer (Islamic position, clearly explained)

In Islam, final prophethood and physical return are two completely different concepts.

1️⃣ What does “final prophet” mean in Islam?

Islam teaches that Muhammad is the last prophet to be sent with a new message and law.

The Qur’an says:

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.”
(Qur’an 33:40)

“Seal” means:

  • No new prophet

  • No new revelation

  • No new religion after him

2️⃣ Jesus’ return does NOT mean a new prophethood

Islam also believes that Jesus Christ (ʿĪsā) will return — but not as a new prophet.

When Jesus returns, he will:

  • Follow the law of Islam

  • Judge by the Qur’an

  • Act as a follower of Muhammad’s law, not bring a new one

So his return is:

  • Continuation of an old mission

  • Not the beginning of a new prophethood

3️⃣ Simple analogy (easy to understand)

If a retired judge returns to enforce an existing constitution,
does that mean he created a new constitution?

Of course not.

Likewise:

  • Jesus returns to uphold the final message

  • Not to replace it

4️⃣ Even in Christianity, return ≠ new prophet

In Christianity:

  • Jesus returns

  • Moses does not become “undone”

  • Previous prophets are not cancelled

So logically:

Returning does not equal starting a new prophethood.

5️⃣ Key point most people miss

Islam says:

  • Jesus was sent before Muhammad

  • Muhammad ﷺ completed prophethood

  • Jesus’ return happens within Muhammad’s final system

That’s why Muslims believe both:

  • Jesus will return

  • Muhammad is the final prophet

There is no contradiction.

Jesus will return to take His people to home. Mohammad is dead, who will take his people to paradise?

  This statement mixes belief , assumption , and mockery , so let’s separate facts from claims. 1️⃣ Islam does not believe Jesus comes to “take people to heaven” In Islam, Jesus Christ (ʿĪsā) will return as a servant of God , not as a savior who carries people to Paradise. He will: Break false beliefs Restore justice Live and die a natural death Be judged like all humans 👉 No human—Jesus or Muhammad—takes people to Paradise. 2️⃣ Paradise is decided by God alone , not prophets Islam is crystal clear: “No soul will bear the burden of another.” (Qur’an 6:164) Even prophets do not own Paradise . On the Day of Judgment: Allah judges Actions are weighed Mercy is granted by God So the question “who will take Muhammad’s people to Paradise?” is flawed. 👉 God takes people to Paradise. Period. 3️⃣ About “Muhammad is dead” Yes— Muhammad passed away. So did: Moses Abraham David Solomon (all revered in the Bible) Death ≠ humiliati...

The Qur’an says Allah says “Kun fa-yakūn” (Be—and it is), so why creation over days instead of an instant?

The Qur’an says Allah says “ Kun fa-yakūn ” (Be—and it is), so why creation over days instead of an instant? Here’s the Islamic answer, step by step 👇 1️⃣ “Kun fa-yakūn” is about power , not process When the Qur'an says “Be—and it is” , it is affirming Allah’s absolute ability , not describing how He must act every time . Allah can create instantly. But choosing a gradual process does not mean inability. 👉 Ability ≠ obligation to use it every time. 2️⃣ Creation in stages is a choice , not a limitation The Qur’an repeatedly says creation happened in six “days” (Arabic: ayyām ), which do not have to mean 24-hour Earth days (because the sun itself was part of creation). “A day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.” (Qur’an 22:47) So: These are phases / stages Not a divine “work schedule” Allah is outside time , so time does not constrain Him. 3️⃣ Teaching humanity wisdom through method Islam teaches that Allah acts with: Ḥikm...
