Jesus Christ (pbuh) will swear allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) on...
ADNAN OKTAR: "He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly reward" (Surah Al-Kahf, 2) When is this reward [going to be given]? In this life and in the hereafter. What is the reward in this world? It is Islamic Union. The reward is Imam Mahdi (pbuh) and Imam Seyyidina Jesus Christ. Jesus will be given the position of an Imam by Imam Mahdi (pbuh). First, Jesus Christs says to Mahdi: "You are the imam and I swear allegiance to you." He says: "I swear allegiance to you". Then, that is it! Once he says "I swear allegiance to you ", Hazrat Mahdi cannot say "I do not accept that". Hazrat Mahdi can make him an Imam after that. And indeed, he does so. Then, Jesus Christ goes to the front and leads the prayer. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) performs the salaat under the lead of Jesus Christ since Mahdi's imamate [leadership] became certain when Jesus Christ swore allegiance to him. Once it is clarified, then he can assign anyone as an imam to lead the prayer, it doesn't have to be Jesus Christ. He can assign anyone he loves as an imam. Jesus Christ is therefore an imam, as well. This imamate side of Jesus Christ is not mentioned very often. Jesus Christ is a hafiz [memorizer] but this is also not very much known. He is a hadji-hafiz; meaning he is both a pilgrim and a hafiz as he will go on a pilgrimage to Mecca according to the hadiths. The hadith says: "He shall lean on the shoulders of two people". Our Prophet says that one of these people is Hazrat Mahdi. He also sees the other one but God knows who that person is. He says: "I saw him in my dream going on a pilgrimage and performing their pilgrimage, leaning on the shoulders of two people." He says: "He was performing the hadj duties around Ka'bah leaning between two people." One of them is Imam Mahdi (pbuh), the other -who knows- may be Khidr (pbuh). But, when we witness that moment here on earth, we may not be able to see the third person and see them as two people only. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus Christ... Yet, when our Prophet sees it, he sees three people. If we were able to see it from a different dimension, then we would see that it is even more crowded than that and we would see angels. Gabriel, Michael, all archangels. They are accompanied by thousands of angels. "in order that they (believers) shall have a goodly reward"... The goodly reward mentioned here is the Heaven. Yet, the word heaven is implicitly mentioned as a part of tests we are going through in this world. In this huge world, the names of only a few prophets are mentioned. It is very few. A hundred and twenty four thousand prophets are known but even that is very little considering the population of the world. Especially when we consider all those people who who lived until now. Even now, we have seven billion people in the world. A hundred and twenty four thousand is really very little.
