Hazrat Esa (Alayhis Salaam) coming back to earth before Qiyaamah

· 26 Shawwal 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the first work which is done by Jesus Christ (pbuh) on the day of resurrection or judgement? Is it true that his first work is to remove the crosses of Christians and ask help from our prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) by doing ziyarath?

Answer

This is incorrect. The Hadith explains that before qiyaamat when Hazrat Esa (Alayhis Salaam) will descend from the skies and come to the earth, then the first thing he will do is that he will fight Dajaal. After defeating Dajaal and Dajaals's army, Esa (alayhis salaam) will spread Islam in the world and destroy the cross.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
