Religion: Return of Jesus Christ

Despite the fact that the imagined ascent or descent of Jesus (pbuh) has nothing to do with the independent declaration of the Holy Prophet's (pbuh) finality, the clergy still assert that there is a definite link between the two. Prophet Jesus (pbuh), son of Mary, they insist, will be personally brought back from the heavens because no new prophet can be raised after Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

This ingenious device of bringing an old prophet back to earth instead of raising one from the Ummah to meet the new need may seem highly laudable to the Muslim orthodoxy but their enthusiasm cannot be shared by ordinary humans. No one with an iota of common sense can attribute this cheap act of trickstering to God the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Only the Mullahs can and this exactly is what they attempt to do. By connecting the return of Jesus (pbuh) with the finality of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), they think that they have rescued God from the consequences of a premature declaration of finality. Thus, the clergy believes that they have saved God from a grave dilemma of contradiction. This has to be the brainchild of a half-wit Mullah to whom it rightly belongs. The promise of finality to any prophet by God, despite His knowledge that it could not be kept, is inconceivable of Him. To make a show of keeping the promise by bringing an old prophet after the demise of the last one is sheer mockery.

Thus, judging God by his own standards, the Mullah first attributes a shameful act of contradiction to Him, then comes forward to help Him save His face from it. This blatant attempt is not made without a purpose. To the Mullah it is a great idea having multiple advantages.
