Sayyidi Abdul Qadir al-Jilani: "Allah Raised Jesus to Heaven"

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

وعلى آلك واصحابك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

فداك ابي وامي يا رسول الله


In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful


My Master, Sayyidi Abd-il-Qadir al-Jilani رحمة الله عليه affirmed the Sunni Islamic belief that the Messiah Jesus عليه السلام was physically raised up to Heaven by Allah جل جلاله

He wrote:

وأخبر عيسى -عليه السلام- بذلك أتباعه فقال: {ومبشرًا برسول يأتي من بعدي اسمه أحمد} [الصف: 6] من صفته ونعته وفضله كيت وكيت، وأخذ ميثاقهم بالإيمان به، وجدد شأنه عندما رفعه الله تعالى ‌إلى ‌السماء لأصحابه

And Jesus, peace be upon him, informed his followers of that, saying: {And giving good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name will be Ahmad} [Al-Saff: 6] of his description, attributes, and virtues, such and such, and he took their covenant to believe in him, and his status was renewed when Allah Most High raised him to Heaven for his companions (al-Ghunyah; v.1, p.220)

  1. Qadianis and others, who deny the physical ascension of the Messiah Jesus عليه السلام to Heaven and say it is impossible for man to be physically raised up to Heaven, are refuted by the Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم who said to his noble Companion Talhah رضى الله عنه when his arm was pierced by an arrow in the Battle of Uhud and he hissed in pain:
    لَوْ قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللهِ، لَطَارَتْ بِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ
    Had you said "In the Name of Allah" the Angels would have flown with you while the people were looking at you
    (Mu'jam al-Kabir; v.1, p.116, #214)
