Imam confirms that muslims also believe in the second coming of christ

The Imam of Federal College of Technology, Yaba Mosque, Imam Saheed
Salmon has said that Islam also believes in the second coming of Jesus
Christ, emphasising that any Muslim who does not believe in it is not
a true follower of Prophet Muhammed.

Salmon made this known at a special lecture held at the Lagos Central
Mosque, Tinubu, saying, Jesus is a messenger of God and would still
return to a mosque in Damascus.

'The second coming of Jesus Christ is a doctrine that every Muslim
must believe. The teachings of prophet Muhammed talks extensively
about this.

"The Qua' ran Chapter 4:157-159 teaches this but the teachings of
Islam does not support that Jesus was killed or resurrected, rather,
he was raised by Almighty Allah to his majesty.

'Jesus is coming again to refute the claim of the Jews that he was
crucified and to correct the doctrine of the Christians that he is the
son of God.

"Again, the second coming of Jesus is to establish that there is a
close relationship between Prophet Muhammed and Jesus himself.'

Also speaking, Chief host and organiser of the lecture, Amir Ajala
Kamardeen noted that he is under the obligation as a true Muslim to
educate the public and to correct any misconception about Islam.

'Jesus is a prophet and messenger of Allah and as a true Muslim, we
are bound to believe all prophets of Allah.

"The holy book ,Qur'an points to the fact that the second coming of
Jesus Christ is a sign of end time but there are some group of Muslims
in Harvard University and in Cairo known as the fatimists and also
Ahmadists who are saying otherwise, so, I have put it upon myself to
correct them,' he said.
