[quote]Salam All, I hate to intrude on this wonderful dialog but I think Zest is proving my point very well. I read through the verses of the Bible and some explanations that purportedly allude to the Second Coming, however, they failed to convince me. The question is when was this doctrine developed. Nevertheless, when we all get a chance we should refocus on the Qur'an. The Qur'an speaks nothing of a return. Here the postulate is that the "slience" of the Qur'an is some sort of "tacit" approval of this belief. I can't see that being the case because that argument can go both ways. Also, there are verses in the Qur'an that actually allude to Jesus' completion of mission. He has a conversation with the Almighty discussing things in the first advent but not even a mention of the second advent. Why is that? Isn't he supposed to come back to correct things from his first advent? Also, if the Qur'an is silent about this issue and we are not expected to follow him then what does it matter to believe in his Second coming? Another point that needs to be made is only the Qur'an and Sunnah are what the doctrine of Islam is made up of. The only positive indication of the return of Jesus is from ahadith, therefore, they cannot be accepted as doctrine. The problem, imho, is placing too much emphasis on the "silence." We should not believe something because of silence. However, I must admit that it's a very important question that needs answering. That would be a better task. Why is the Qur'an silent on this issue? Does it approve of this belief or not? If so what can we find in it to support such an idea? How important is this to each individual Muslim and their relationship with the Almighty and their salvation? These are somethings I'd like to get into here. Wassalam [/quote]
