The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Struggle Together

The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Struggle Together, and the Prophet Jesus (as) will Follow Hazrat Mahdi (as)

The Prophet Jesus (as) will Follow Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Lead the Prophet Jesus (as) in Prayer (Salat)

Naim Abu Sa'id relates that the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: The person behind whom the Prophet Jesus (as) son of Mary (as) will perform the Prayer (salat) is of my line [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 78)

Ibn Abi Shayba relates from Ibn Shirin in his Musannaf. He said: Hazrat Mahdi (as) is of this community and will act as imam to the Prophet Jesus (as).(Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 79)

Naim ibn Hammad relates from Abdullah Ibn Amr. He said: Hazrat Mahdi (as) is he who will descend upon the Prophet Jesus (as) son of Mary and behind whom he will perform the prayer (salat). (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 79)

Bukhari and Muslim relate from Abu Huraira. He said: What will you do when the Prophet Jesus (as) son of Mary descends among you and when your imam is Hazrat Mahdi (as)? (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 79)

The Prophet Jesus (as) will Help Hazrat Mahdi (as) and will Express His Devotion to Hazrat Mahdi (as)

The Prophet Jesus (as) will descend from the sky IN ORDER TO HELP THE IMAM AZ-ZAMAN [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)], AND TO EXPRESS HIS DEVOTION TO HIM AND PRAY (SALAT) BEHIND HIM.(Sheikh Sadook, Al-Amaali, Session 39, p. 181. Iqdud Durar, pp. 157 and 230)

When the Prophet Jesus (as) Returns to Earth, He will Preach the Moral Values of Islam with Books with Seal Upon Them

"The Prophet Jesus (as) will open it (the chest) and will find a thousand books with seal upon them and will preach Islam with those books." (Ali ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Khari al-Hanafi "Risalatul Mashrab alvardi fi mazhabil Mahdi, p. 4, from the book Anis al-Julasji)

It appears from the information provided in the hadith that the Prophet Jesus (as) will find books sealed with the seal of our Prophet (saas) and will communicate Islam with these perfect works.

The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Resemble one Another in Terms of Appearance and Moral Values

Abdullah ibn Zamra narrates from Ibn Mati` al-Himyari (Ka'ab al- Akhbar) that he said: "... Hazrat Mahdi (as) who will appear (the Qaim) is from the line of Ali. He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will make the world an entirely different place. The Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is descended from Ali. (He is a sayyid.) HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] IS THE ONE WHO MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) IN GOODNESS, APPEARANCE AND MORALITY. Allah will give the majesty He gives to the prophets to him as well. He will give him virtues and intellect... (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 169)

When the Prophet Jesus (as) Returns to Earth, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Act As Imam (Prayer Leader) to the Prophet Jesus (as)

The Prophet Jesus (as) will descend to be from the community of Muhammad (saas). In the true Bible, THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) SAW THE SUPERIOR QUALITIES OF MUHAMMAD (SAAS) AND BEGGED TO BE FROM HIS COMMUNITY. HE PRAYED AND HIS PRAYER WAS HEARD. Almighty Allah raised him alive to the sky. He will descend to earth at a time near the Judgment Day to be from the community of Muhammad (saas), and he will convert such corrupted faiths as Judaism and Christianity into Islam. (The Faith Everyone Needs, Abu'l-Baha Ziyaaddin Mawlana Khalid ibn Ahmad Khalid Bagdadi, 1242/1827; Translated by: Kemahli Feyzullah Efendi, 6th edition, Istanbul, Ihlas Publications, 1989)

IN THE GOSPEL, WHEN THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) SAW THE PRAISE-FILLED TITLES OF THIS COMMUNITY, HE PRAYED TO ALLAH TO BE ONE OF THEM, AND ALLAH ACCEPTED HIS PRAYER. That is why he will descend to earth as a mujaddid (reviver) when the day comes. (Al-Qutub as-Sittah, Translation and Commentary, Feza Journalism, 1996, 14/74)

Hazrat Mahdi (as) Will Act as Imam (Prayer Leader) to the Prophet Jesus (as)

The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "A group within my community will strive intellectually to elevate the truth until the Judgment Day, and JESUS (AS), SON OF MARY, WILL DESCEND TO EARTH. WHEN THEIR LEADER [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] TELLS HIM "LEAD US IN THE PRAYER (SALAT)", HE [JESUS (AS)] WILL SAY "NO" ... AND WILL BESTOW THE RANK OF IMAM ON THE "IMAM MAHDI." (Sahih Muslim, vol. 1, p. 209)

The "Two Orphans" in Surat Al-Kahf Refer To Prophet Jesus (as) And Hazrat Mahdi (as)

"As for the wall, IT BELONGED TO TWO YOUNG ORPHANS in the town and there was a treasure underneath it, belonging to them. THEIR FATHER WAS ONE OF THE RIGHTEOUS and your Lord wanted them to come of age and then to unearth their treasure as a mercy from Him. I did not do it of my own volition. That is the explanation of the things about which you were not able to restrain yourself…" (Surat al-Kahf, 82)

In the story of Hazrat Khidr (as) in Surat al-Kahf, "two young orphans" are mentioned. Allah states in the verse that "their father was one of the righteous." With these expressions, the verse contains references to The Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as). The hadiths tell us that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will lose his father and be orphaned at an early age:

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE AN ORPHAN 
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 176)

As it is known, the Prophet Jesus (as) also has no father. He is therefore also an orphan. In addition, the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) share the same line of descent. The Prophet Abraham (as) is thus the father of both. The words "their father was one of the righteous" refer to the Prophet Abraham (as). In another verse of the Qur'an this characteristic of the Prophet Abraham (as) is described as follows:

We gave him (Abraham) good in this world and IN THE HEREAFTER HE WILL BE ONE OF THE RIGHTEOUS. (Surat an-Nahl, 122)
