This Is Islam Uncovered

🔄 If Muhammad Is the Last Prophet… Why Is Jesus Coming Back?

The Contradiction at the Heart of Islamic Eschatology

🧭 Introduction

Islam claims finality.

“Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets.”
— Surah 33:40

That statement forms the bedrock of Islamic theology. No more prophets. No more revelations. No one comes after Muhammad.

But here's the contradiction:

Islamic eschatology expects Jesus — not Muhammad — to return before the Day of Judgment.

Not symbolically. Not metaphorically.
Physically. Literally. To lead. To judge. To rule.

Which begs the question:

❓ If Muhammad is the final prophet, why does Islam need another prophet to return and finish the mission?

📖 The Qur'an’s Claim: Muhammad Is the Seal of the Prophets

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.”
— Surah 33:40

✅ The orthodox Islamic position:

Muhammad is the final prophet.
No prophet will come after him.
Final revelation. Final messenger. Full stop.

📚 Islamic Doctrine Says Jesus Will Return

Hadith literature tells a different story:

Jesus will descend from heaven.
He will kill the Antichrist (Dajjal).
He will break the cross, abolish the jizya, and rule with justice.
He will lead the Muslim Ummah and restore Islam to its original form.

And the kicker?

Muhammad doesn’t return.
But Jesus does.

⚖️ The Inescapable Contradiction

Let’s break it down logically:

🔹 Premise 1:

Muhammad is the final prophet. (Surah 33:40)

🔹 Premise 2:

A prophet is one who:

Leads humanity
Enforces God’s law
Judges the nations
Speaks and acts with divine authority

🔹 Premise 3:

Jesus, according to Islamic belief:

Returns after Muhammad
Leads the believers
Judges according to Sharia
Enforces divine justice
Defeats the Antichrist

✅ Conclusion:

Jesus is performing prophetic functions after Muhammad.

This violates Muhammad’s claimed finality — by Islamic standards.

🛑 Muslim Rebuttals — And Why They Fail

❌ “Jesus isn’t a new prophet; he’s continuing his old mission.”

That doesn’t matter. He’s still performing prophetic roles after Muhammad — which the Qur’an says shouldn’t happen.

❌ “He won’t bring new revelation.”

Neither did many prophets in the Bible or Qur’an. Prophethood isn’t defined by revelation alone — it’s about leading on God’s behalf.

❌ “He’s subordinate to the Mahdi.”

Not according to Sahih Muslim:

Jesus will lead the prayer — not the Mahdi.
That’s leadership. That’s authority. That’s prophetic action.

🔥 The Bigger Problem

If Muhammad is the final prophet...

Why is Jesus sent back to do the final work?

It implies:

Muhammad’s mission was incomplete.
A prior prophet had to return and fix it.
The “Seal of the Prophets” needed a follow-up act.

That’s not finality — that’s failure.

📌 Final Verdict

You can’t claim:

“Islam is the final revelation, and Muhammad is the last prophet”

...and then say:

“But we need Jesus to come back and wrap it all up.”

That’s not divine consistency.
That’s doctrinal contradiction.

💣 One-Liner for Debate:

“If Muhammad is the last prophet, why is Jesus — not him — returning to finish the mission?”

There’s no answer that avoids contradiction.

💬 Closing Thought

Islam depends on the idea that nothing comes after Muhammad.
But its own end-times narrative requires someone to come after Muhammad — and that someone is another prophet.

So either the Qur’an is wrong about Muhammad...
Or the Hadiths are wrong about Jesus...
Or the whole system is built on contradiction.

Whichever way you cut it, one thing is clear:

Islam’s final prophet isn’t final — and Islam’s theology isn’t consistent.
