A Further Response to 'Recognizing Qadianis ' I am answering your question as to if there is a Quranic verse about the coming of Messiah. Yes, Quran tells us about the advent of a Prophet in the person of the Promised Messiah in the latter days in Surah Al-Jumu'ah, Verse 04. I will explain it a bit later, first of all I want to make sure that you understand that in Islam we follow both the Quran and the Hadith. Hazrat Mohammad (pbuh) has taught and explained Quran to us and we therefore follow both Quran and Hadith and only if there is a contradiction between the two - then we consider Quran as the ultimate authority as it is the word of God and we know there can be no discrepancy in it. But we cannot ignore Sunnah of Hazrat Mohammad (pbuh) as it explains Islam and Quran to us e.g; Quran says - say your prayers, but doesn't say how to pray and what to say in your prayers - it is explained to us by Hazrat Mohammad (pbuh) through his Sunnah, therefore we need Hazrat Mohammad's (pbuh) Sunnah to explain Islam to us and it is well documented in the books of Hadith like Bukhari in which all muslims believe. Now I will try to explain the coming of Messiah/Mahdi from the Quran and Sunnah. Quran says: "And among others from among them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise." (Surah Al-Jumu'ah, Verse 04) Commentary (explanation): This verse signifies that the Message of the Holy Prophet was meant not only for the Arabs among whom he was raised but for all non-Arabs as well, and not only for his contemporaries but also for the coming generations till the end of time. Or the meaning may be that the Holy Prophet will be raised among another people who have not yet joined his immediate followers. The reference in the verse and in a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet is to the Second Advent of the Holy Prophet in the person of the Promised Messiah in the Latter Days. Says Abu Hurairah: "One day we were sitting with the Holy Prophet when Surah Jumu'ah was revealed. I asked the Holy Prophet,"Who are the people to whom the words And among others from among them who have not yet joined them, refer. Salman the Persian was sitting among us. Upon my repeatedly asking him the same question, the Prophet put his hand on Salman and said, If Faith were to go up up to the Pleiades(Surraya), a man from these would surely find it" (Bukhari). This hadith shows that the verse applies to a man of Persian descent. Now, the Promised Messiah, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, was of Persian descent. Other sayings of the Holy Prophet speak of the appearance of the Messiah at a time when there would remain nothing of the Quran but its words and of Islam but its name i.e; the true spirit of Islamic teachings will be lost. (Baihaqui). Thus the Quran and the Hadith both seem to agree that the present verse refers to the Second Advent of the Holy Prophet in the person of one of his followers - the Promised Messiah.(The Holy Quran with english translation and commentary, Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih 2). There are more verses in Quran and many more Hadiths that tells us about the advent of the Promised Messiah and it is an undeniable fact. Islam will gain its supremacy over other religions and will encompass the world as it is the true and final religion of God - but only through His Messiah as he is God's Messenger and embodies the true Islam. May God show you the right path.
