๐ The Return of Jesus: Islam’s Unspoken Contradiction
If Muhammad is the Last Prophet… Why Isn’t He the One Coming Back?
๐งญ Introduction
Islam makes a bold theological claim:
Muhammad is “the Seal of the Prophets” (ุฎุงุชู ุงููุจููู) — the final messenger in a long line of divine guidance.
This idea is central to Islam’s claim to finality. Without it, Islam has no unique authority.
But here's the problem:
Islamic eschatology doesn’t expect Muhammad to return before the Day of Judgment — it expects Jesus.
That raises a devastating contradiction:
If Muhammad is the final prophet, why is Jesus the one expected to return, rule, and finish the job?
๐ The Qur’anic Claim: Muhammad is the Last Prophet
Surah 33:40 –
“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets…”
✅ Orthodox interpretation:
-
Muhammad is the final prophet.
-
No new prophet can come after him — ever.
๐ The Doctrinal Problem: Jesus Returns — Not Muhammad
Islamic Hadith literature says:
-
Jesus will return in the end times.
-
He will kill the Dajjal (Antichrist).
-
He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the jizya.
-
He will rule with justice under Islam and lead the Ummah.
Wait — lead the Ummah? Enforce God’s law? Guide the believers?
Sounds like a prophet, doesn’t it?
⚠️ The Inescapable Contradiction
Let’s break it down with forensic logic:
๐น Premise 1:
Muhammad is the final prophet. No prophet comes after him. (Surah 33:40)
๐น Premise 2:
A prophet is someone who:
-
Speaks for God
-
Leads believers
-
Guides humanity
-
Enforces divine law
๐น Premise 3:
Jesus, according to Islamic eschatology:
-
Returns to Earth
-
Leads Muslims
-
Judges according to Sharia
-
Kills the Dajjal
-
Establishes justice
✅ Conclusion:
Jesus performs prophetic roles after Muhammad — thus violating Muhammad’s finality.
You can’t have both:
-
Muhammad as the last prophet
-
And Jesus returning to act like a prophet
Unless the word "prophet" becomes meaningless.
๐ง Rebuttals Muslim Scholars Try — and Why They Fail
❌ "Jesus isn’t a new prophet — he’s just continuing his old mission."
But prophetic activity is still occurring after Muhammad.
That is a contradiction with Surah 33:40.
❌ "He won’t bring new revelation."
That’s irrelevant. Plenty of prophets in the Qur’an didn’t bring new books either.
Being a prophet isn’t about bringing scripture — it’s about representing God’s authority on Earth.
❌ "He’ll be subordinate to the Mahdi."
Not in the most accepted Hadiths. In Sahih Muslim, Jesus leads the prayer — not the Mahdi.
And even if he were subordinate, he’s still acting as a prophet. You can’t downgrade prophecy just to save face.
๐ Bigger Implication
If Jesus, a prophet, is expected to return after the alleged final prophet...
Then one of the following must be true:
-
The Qur’an is wrong.
-
The Hadiths are wrong.
-
Or the entire Islamic theological framework is built on contradiction.
And that, mate, is a massive theological failure.
๐ฅ Final Verdict
You can’t claim Muhammad is the seal of the prophets
And then expect another prophet to return and finish the mission.
It’s like declaring:
"This book is the final chapter!"
…and then adding an epilogue written by someone else.
That’s not divine design — that’s editorial panic.
๐ฌ One-liner for Debate:
“If Muhammad is the last prophet, why isn’t he coming back? Why does Islam need Jesus to finish the job?”
No answer avoids contradiction. The return of Jesus in Islam undoes the finality of Muhammad — and that collapses Islam’s core claim to uniqueness.
