The love of Jesus has given to Christians throughout history a proper morality. In the Qur'an, God describes Christians as "most affectionate to those who believe" and says that "That is because some of them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant." (Qur'an, 5:82)
In another verse, Christians' positive morality is mentioned:
Then We sent Our Messengers following in their footsteps and sent Jesus son of Mary after them, giving him the Gospel. We put compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. (Qur'an, 57:27)
Because of their love for Jesus, Christians throughout history have endured all kinds of cruelty, chosen to forgo the pleasures of life and live with suffering and performed deeds of great self-sacrifice. These are indications of a deep sincerity. But in this age when the return of Jesus is near, this sincerity must be stronger, and service to Jesus' religion must be performed more effectively.
But some Christians today give the impression that they are not sensitive enough to Jesus' impending return.
So by the return of Jesus, the three monotheistic religions will unite, there will be one single religion on earth based on faith in God. This religion will defeat the atheistic philosophies and pagan beliefs with intellectual means; the world will be saved from wars, conflicts, racial and ethnic hostility, cruelty and injustice. Humanity will enter a "Golden Age" of peace, happiness and well-being.
Certainly, this will be the greatest event in the history of the world. In this situation in which the three monotheistic religions will unite, the whole American continent, Europe, the Islamic world, Russia and Israel will be allied on the basis of a shared faith, and no such unity has ever occurred before. The peace, well-being, stability and happiness to be established in the world by this union has never been known in any previous period; its likeness has never been seen.
And, when Jesus returns to earth, it will be one of the greatest wonders in the history of the world.
The return of Jesus to the earth in his mature years without a mother and father will be a great wonder. And he will show people new miracles. As a result, materialist philosophy, which has already collapsed on the levels of science and philosophy, will suffer irrevocable ruin for all the world to see, and people will witness the clear proofs for the existence and power of God.
So, in the light of the signs in the Qur'an, the sayings of our Prophet and the interpretations of leading scholars in Islam, we believe that this blessed period is very near. As Muslims, we are very excited about the imminent return of Jesus and are doing all we can to prepare ourselves and the world to receive this blessed guest.
Thus, we call on Christians to be as sensitive, aware and eager as possible about this.
