[quote]ahsansattar I sought guidance for this from the scholars of this website and this is in reply to your question:

This verse has an entirely different meaning.
 
1. Jesus (sws) as a sign of the Judgment Day has been mentioned in a specific context. The Idolaters of Makkah would object that how can man be recreated once his bones decay. This verse tells them that creating mankind again is no problem for God. He has the power to do everything. An example of this is that He did not require the services of a male and female to produce one of His creatures and created that individual in a novel and miraculous way. If He can create one human being in such a miraculous way why cant He create mankind again.
 
2. Jesus (sws) was given various miracles. One such miracle was that he could raise the dead to life. This miracle is thus a sign of the Judgment Day in which the dead will be raised to life.
 
3. If the Gospels of Jesus (sws) are read, one will find several subtle and moving references to the Judgement day. This is another aspect of he being declare the sign of the Day of Judgement.
 
4. Finally nowhere does the verse say that he is a sign &quot;of the coming&quot; of the Judgment Day. These words &quot;coming of&quot; have been added in brackets in the translation given. They are not found in Arabic. The Arabic words only say that Jesus (sws) is a sign of the Judgement Hour/Day (and not its coming). How he is a sign of the Judgment Day is explained in the previous points.

I hope this helps.[/quote]
