MR. ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (JANUARY 8^th, 2009) 

Adnan Oktar: Verses 157-158 of Surat an-Nisa’ referring to the coming of the Prophet Jesus read: “and their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, Messenger of Allah’.” qatalna, they say we killed, we murdered him, “Allah had punished them thus. They did not kill him" wama qataloohu, says Allah “They did not kill him and they did not crucify him”  “but it was made to seem so to them.” He says shubbiha. In other words, someone who resembled him, moreover the person who betrayed him. Allah says He caused that person to resemble the Prophet Jesus (as), and it was him they crucified. This happens as a punishment to that person and as a miracle. The Prophet Jesus (as) was raised to the heavens, while Allah caused the person who betrayed him to resemble the prophet. He already resembled him somewhat, but Allah increased the similarity, and they imagined he was the Prophet Jesus and crucified him. “Those who argue about him are in doubt about it.” They are already in a state of doubt now. For instance they are in doubt about the return of the Prophet Jesus. “They have no real knowledge of it, just conjecture.” They are talking through conjecture. They are just guessing and speculating when they claim that the Prophet Jesus (as) will not return. 

Reporter: They are just guessing. 

Adnan Oktar: Of course.Allah says, “They have no real knowledge of it, just conjecture.But they certainly did not kill him.” He emphasized that again, saying wama qataloohu. He says “Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.”  In verse 55 of Surat Al ‘Imran, Allah says,“When Allah said, ‘‘Jesus, I will take you back…” mutawaffeeka, in other words in a state of death resembling sleep, for example, all Muslims die in their sleep. In other words, Allah says in the Qur’an that He takes our selves in the sleep, every sleeper dies.  Allah raised the Prophet Jesus up to the sky in a state of sleep. In that sense, we also die every evening, and Allah then restores us to life again. The same word then appears again,“and [I will] raise you up to Me...” meaning that I will raise you to me in a state of sleep, warafiAAuka. “and [I will] purify you of those who are unbelievers” and note this, “until the Day of Resurrection.” This refers to all Muslims, because we all follow him and abide by his Islamic belief. Since the Prophet Jesus (as) will be a Muslim, since he will abide by the Qur’an, we all of us, Christians included, will be Muslims. “And I will place the people who follow you above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection.” Allah says you will be the superior power.Then Allah says: “Then you will all return to Me, and I will judge between you regarding the things about which you differed.” Surah Al-Imran 55. This verse also refers to the dominion until Doomsday, this is the dominion of Islam referred to.

For instance in verse 61 of Surat az-Zuhruf Allah says “He [Jesus] is a Sign of the Hour.” He tells us to have no doubt. His coming is a portent of Doomsday, and this is proof that the Prophet Jesus (as) will come in the End of Times. That is not said of any other prophet. Only the Prophet Jesus is described as a portent of Doomsday.The coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and that of the Prophet Jesus are portents of Doomsday. Look, Allah emphasized this. “Have no doubt about it” He says. “But follow me. This is a straight path.”

Said Nursi also describes this in great detail in his own accounts. For example, he provides the following description of something set out metaphorically in verse 110 of Surat Al-Ma’ida; “Allah will say; Jesus, son of Mary, remember My blessing to you and to your mother when I reinforced you with the Purest Spirit so that you could speak to people in the cradle and when you were fully grown; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.”The Book and Wisdom. The book he will learn is the Qur’an. This is a word from Allah, Allah will teach him the Book, the Qur’an, The book, wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel. He knows these already, but now he will also learn the Book, the Qur’an, insha’Allah. This is also set out in detail in Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Dawud. It is something set out in detail in all of the Al-Kutub al-Sitta.
