Like the mainstream Islamic views on Jesus, the Ahmadiyya Movement also considers that Jesus was only a human being and a true prophet of God, born to the virgin Mary, but unlike the majority contemporary Islamic view which holds that Jesus was not crucified but raised up alive to Heaven and remains alive, Ahmadis believe that Jesus carried out his mission to the Israelites, survived crucifixion and died a natural death in Kashmir where he had migrated to preach to the Lost Tribes of Israel and that he is not alive. In connection with this they also believe that the Turin Shroud is of Jesus Christ. Moreover, in contrast to mainstream Muslims, a literal understanding of some of Jesus' miracles in the Quran (such as creating birds and bringing the dead back to life) is seen as inconsistent with numerous verses of the Quran itself and as attributing semi-divine status to Jesus; and is therefore rejected for a more hermeneutic approach to understanding the Quranic accounts of such miracles〔https://www.alislam.org/quran/tafseer/?page=399®ion=E1 English 5 Vol. Commentary〕 Another important difference with mainstream Islam is regarding the notion of the second coming of Jesus which is also in keeping with Ahmadi prophetology. Since Jesus is believed to have died a natural death like other prophets, and since there is a total absence of the use of terms such as ''return'' or ''second coming'' in the Quran and Hadith with reference to Jesus' advent in the End Days, the notion of his ''physical'' return is deemed erroneous. Rather, Prophecies concerning his future coming are taken metaphorically to express the coming of a person in the likeness of Jesus from within Islam itself. These prophecies are taken together with those of the coming of the Mahdi and both ''Jesus Son of Mary'' and ''Mahdi'' taken as two titles for one and the same person. Ahmadis believe these prophecies to have been fulfilled in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the movement. Moreover, in accordance with the Ahmadi understanding of the term ''Seal of Prophets'' with reference to Muhammad, no prophet can come from outside the Islamic dispensation or whose prophethood is independent of Muhammad. Since, Jesus' ministry, according to the Quran was limited to the Israelites and since he received his prophecy independently of Muhammad, his physical return is seen as violating the Seal of Prophethood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Islam and the Ahmadiyya Jama'at: History, Belief, Practice )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Finality of Prophethood )〕 ==Overview== Although the view of Jesus having journeyed to India before crucifixion had also been researched in the literature of authors independent of and predating the foundation of the movement, most notably by Nicolas Notovitch,〔(The Life of Saint Issa (Nicolas Notovitch )〕〔''New Testament Apocrypha, Vol. 1: Gospels and Related Writings'' by Wilhelm Schneemelcher and R. Mcl. Wilson (Dec 1, 1990) ISBN 066422721X page 84 "a particular book by Nicolas Notovich (Di Lucke im Leben Jesus 1894) ... shortly after the publication of the book, the reports of travel experiences were already unmasked as lies. The fantasies about Jesus in India were also soon recognized as invention... down to today, nobody has had a glimpse of the manuscripts with the alleged narratives about Jesus"〕 Ghulam Ahmad in his treatise Jesus in India (Urdu: ''Masih Hindustan Mein'') was the first to propose a post-crucifixion journey arguing that Jesus survived crucifixion and travelled to India only ''after'' his apparent death in Jerusalem and expressly rejected the theory of a pre-crucifixion visit (Notovitch).〔.〕 The teaching was developed by Ahmadi missionaries. Kamal ud-Din and Khwaja Nazir Ahmad (1952) added Notovitch's theory of a first earlier visit.〔Per Beskow in The Blackwell Companion to Jesus Delbert Burkett - 2011 "Only later did Ahmad's disciples invent the compromise that Jesus had been twice in India. Ahmad's primary source is a legend, known in the West as the tale of Barlaam and Josaphat. It was widely read all through the Middle Agesas an edifying ..."〕 The first response in English to Ahmad's teaching came in a book by an Urdu-speaking American pastor in Lahore; ''The Ahmadiyya Movement'' (1918) by Howard Walter. Walter, like later scholars, identified the Islamic version of the Barlaam and Josaphat story as the primary source of Ahmad's evidence despite the fact that the four chapters of his book are arranged around evidence from the Gospels, the Quran and hadith, medical literature and historical records – (three sections ) – respectively.〔http://www.alislam.org/library/books/Jesus-in-India.pdf Jesus in India〕 According to Ahmadiyya teaching the Roza Bal tomb in Srinagar, which contains the grave of a holy man known as Yuz Asaf is actually the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. The claims remain compelling yet highly controversial ones. While the material of Notovitch and Ahmad has been examined and dismissed by historians such as the Indologist Günter Grönbold (1985)〔Günter Grönbold, Jesus In Indien, München: Kösel 1985, ISBN 3-466-20270-1.〕 and Norbert Klatt (1988).,〔Norbert Klatt, ''Lebte Jesus in Indien?'', Göttingen: Wallstein 1988.〕 it has been supported by others such as the archaeologist, Fida Hassnain〔http://www.tombofjesus.com/index.php/en/researchers-authors/dr-fida-hassnain〕 and Holger Kersten.〔http://www.tombofjesus.com/index.php/en/researchers-authors/holger-kersten The Tomb of Jesus Christ〕 Anthropological research tends to corroborate the connection between the lost tribes and the peoples of south/central Asia specifically the Pashtuns of Afghanistan, albeit lacking in sufficient genetic evidence.〔Pashtun clue to lost tribes of Israel http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/17/israel-lost-tribes-pashtun〕〔Israelite Connections of the Taliban http://www.isn.ethz.ch/Digital-Library/Articles/Detail/?ots591=4888caa0-b3db-1461-98b9-e20e7b9c13d4&lng=en&id=132724 The〕 The Ahmadis have published extensively on the topic of Jesus' natural death and have expanded on Ghulam Ahmad's work in light of more fresh research.〔Jesus: A Humble Prophet of God https://www.alislam.org/topics/jesus/〕〔The Review of Religions, May 2015, Vol. 110, issue 5 http://reviewofreligions.org/date/2015/05/〕 In 1978, Mirza Nasir Ahmad the third Khalifa, travelled to London where the international conference of Jesus’ ''Deliverance from the cross'' was held at the Commonwealth Institute in Kensington. This was attended by a number of scholars and academics who read their papers discussing the circumstances surrounding the Crucifixion of Jesus, after which the Ahmadiyya viewpoint regarding the death of Jesus was presented.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFKNVZjY8_Q 1978 Visit of Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad to England and Deliverance from The Cross Conference〕〔http://reviewofreligions.org/1964/conference-on-deliverance-from-the-cross/ The Review of Religions, March 2008, Vol. 103, issue 03, © islamic publications 2008〕 On this occasion Nasir Ahmad also delivered a lecture on this issue dealing with the subject of Jesus’ survival from death upon the cross, his travel to the east, the Unity of God and the status of Muhammad.〔(A Brief History of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam – Conference in London )〕 In more recent times, The view has been publicized in a BBC documentary by Richard Denton〔(Did Jesus Die? )〕 and an independent documentary by Paul David; ''Jesus in India The Movie''.〔(Jesus In India The Movie )〕 Denton (2010) represented the Roza Bal tomb as being supported by ancient manuscripts and Kashmiri tradition, but did not interview academics who have written critically on the use of claimed ancient texts, and who generally consider the texts relate to the ''Barlaam and Josaphat'' traditions about Buddha in Kashmir, and not to Jesus.〔Thom Burnett ''The Conspiracy Encyclopedia'' 2006 -- Page 240 "Others believe that having survived the crucifixion, Jesus travelled east to Kashmir, India, where he had a family and lived to the age of 120."〕 The Encyclopedia of Islam states that the post-crucifixion journey of Jesus towards the East and his natural death as an aspect of Ahmadi belief is one of three primary tenets that distinguish Ahmadi teachings from general Islamic ones, and that it has provoked a ''fatwa'' against the movement.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus in Ahmadiyya Islam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
