Jesus as messiah

[Branislav]

Salam 'alejkum!
Many greetings from Slovakia

Help me understand, please, the role of Jesus like a messiah. What does it mean that he's messiah? It means that he's saviour? Or I think salvation provide only God?! Christians believe that Jesus died for us (for our sins) and this is his role of the messiah. What is the view of Islam? His messiah role will reveal only at the end of the world?

Many thanx

Wa alaikum assalaam bro. welcome to the forums.

In Islam, Isa(as) ie Jesus is a Prophet like Noah, Moses, David etc. Its mentioned in the Quran, that Jesus didn't die on the cross, he was raised to the heavens by Allah the Almighty. Jesus is still alive in the heavens and Allah the Almighty will send him to Earth again near the End of Times. This is the second coming of Jesus. But during this second coming Jesus ie Prophet Isa(as) will follow the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad . This is mentioned in the hadith also.

If you have more doubts, please ask.

it may be that the "messiah" role will only be fulfilled with the second coming. since during his stay previously Isa (as) was not a king or political leader to the people but he will succeed Imam Mehdi as the political and spiritual leader of the muslims.

Here is a short summary of the events mentioned by our beloved Prophet Muhammad in the hadith:

-Imam Mehdi is a righteous leader that will come in the future, who will help the Muslims. (Beware of the deviant definitions of the shias regarding imam mehdi)
-After the appearance of Mehdi, the Dajjal will appear. Dajjal is an evil person that Allah will be sending to test the people of the world. Dajjal is a false prophet, he will claim that he is God and try to mislead people. Only Muslims with good Imaan(faith) will be able to resist him.
- Then Isa (as) ie Jesus will descend from the Heaven with the permission of Allah the almighty. Only Prophet Isa (as) will be able to kill the Dajjal. After this Isa(as) will order all cross to be destroyed and he will live in the world peacefully according to the teachings of the Quran. Upon his death He will be buried next to Prophet Muhammad .

- After this the peoples condition will deteriorate till the end of the world. Sinning will be at its peak. At during the Last hour there will be only bad people in the world and Allah will destroy everything in the Universe. Then only Allah Ta'ala will be left, this is the might of Allah the Creator. Then he will Resurrect all of the humans in the plane of congregation. Then there will be questioning and weighing of our deeds. Then People are send to Heaven and Hell. Some Muslims who sinned more than good, might go to Hell temporarily, but they will be given Heaven eventually by the Mercy of Allah. Then the life is eternal.
