8. Ahmed-the One Coming in Clouds-Can This be Any More Clear than His Name Being Written in the Sky with Clouds of Smoke?!
The connection between the world savior and clouds has been maintained by religious texts from all religions. We have presented some evidence of this connection previously. I will summarize it here as follows.
In the Torah it says: [5] And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. [6] And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream (Numbers 12).
It also says in the Torah: [10] . . . And behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. [11] And the LORD said to Moses . . . (Exodus 16).
Also in the Torah:
[1] The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! [2] Clouds and thick darkness are all around him. . . (Psalm 97).
In the Gospel:
[29] “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
[30] Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (Matthew 24).
Also in the Gospel it says:
[7] Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him . . . (Revelation 1).
The clouds that support the Savior and Redeemer in the Torah and the Gospel are the same clouds that Muslims believe will support the Riser of the progeny of MuhammadPBUHAP in the end times. On the authority of Abdul-Rahim, Imam Al-BaqirPBUH said:
“Dhul-Qarnayn was given a choice between two clouds and chose the manageable one. The difficult cloud was reserved for your companion, the Riser.” I said to him: "What is the difficult one?" He said: "Whatever clouds have thunder, lightning, and thunderbolts, your companion will ride them. He will ride the clouds and elevate in every way."81
If this is clear, I will remind the people of the earth of a heavenly sign that happened not too long ago with a simultaneous warning of punishment appearing on the earth afterwards: the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
An oven is a place where fire is lit or where there is a burning fire. And the overflowing of something is its movement and escape from the container holding it. Thus, the state of a volcano is an oven, and its eruption an overflow. An airplane in the kingdom of heaven is indicative of relief, comfort, comfortable work, and welfare for human beings.
The volcano in Iceland had overflowed and grounded airplanes of the world. This is a sign for those paying close attention. It is also a sign of the nearing of the command of God. God Almighty said in the Quran: {[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed, We said, "Load upon the ship of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few} Quran Chapter “Hud” 40. With all the physical capabilities available today, if I gave you a ship and told you to load it with pairs of animals, how much time would you need? In the time of NoahPBUH, how long would he have needed? Not less than several months. So between the time of the overflowing of the oven or the eruption of the volcano, and the time of the flood or the coming down of the punishment there are several months, if God wills to carry out His command. Thus, the
overflowing of the oven is a sign for NoahPBUH of punishment drawing near, so that he can prepare for the punishment being brought down after it [the sign]. The situation for people today is the same. Just as there was an oven and punishment at the time of NoahPBUH, there is an oven and a punishment for this current time. Noah'sPBUH ark is well-known, and the ark of the Riser is also well-known today.
It is mentioned the Gospel: [37] For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man (Matthew 24).
Also in the Gospel:
[14] Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. [15] And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” [16] So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped (Revelation 14).
As for the heavenly sign . . . view these pictures to see it.
These pictures show what was written by the cloud of smoke: the name of the Riser, Savior, and Redeemer: Ahmed.
If you ask: “Why Ahmed?”, it is due to everything that was shown and will be shown in that specifically: the Riser Ahmed for the Muslims = the Riser (the wise servant) for Christians = the Riser (from Jesse) for the Jews. He is clearly the anticipated world Reformer. Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.
The interpretation of the sign “Son of Man” to be JesusPBUH-by confining it to the literal meaning only, like the Christians do-is incorrect. If we read his words:
[29] “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened . . [30] Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn . . . [37] For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
We find that he is talking about the world Savior and Redeemer. It also mentions:
[45] “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? (Matthew 24)
This means that the awaited Riser servant has the fundamental role in the Day of Redemption that JesusPBUH gave tidings of, as mentioned previously in our discussion of the attributes of the promised messenger. Also, the discussion of the nature of his coming makes it clear that the coming of JesusPBUH on that day will be through the coming of the one who represents and resembles him. This is a sufficient reply to their argument, even if they insist on confining the literal meaning to JesusPBUH only. Thus the one who comes is the lookalike of JesusPBUH as their previous text confirms:
[14] Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man (Revelation 14).
What remains is the Savior and Redeemer being described with the attribute of "Lord", that is, a fosterer and administrator, in the Torah and Gospel: [10] And behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. [11] And the LORD said to Moses (Exodus 16); [1] The LORD reigns (Psalm 97); [1] the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 8); [42] Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming (Matthew 24:42). And there are many others. This is the same fact that the Holy Quran points to. The Almighty said: {And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord} Quran Chapter “The Troops” 39:69. Imam Al-SadiqPBUH said: “When our Riser appears, the earth will shine with the light of its Lord. People will no longer be in need.”82
Al-Mufaddal asked Imam SadiqPBUH about the above verse, and he said, "The Lord of the earth means the Imam (leader) of the earth." I said, “What will happen when he emerges?” He replied, "At that time, people will no longer be in need."83,84
As for the Redeemer speaking to MosesPBUH as stated in the Torah, it has been shown that he is the Riser, Ahmed, from the progeny of Muhammad. He is the same person that Imam AliPBUH talked about while giving tidings to those waiting for the Riser and his dispatch, when he said:
At that time, strange wonders will take place. When fire is lit in Basra, the Ottoman banner emerges in the Black Valley, Basra is in turmoil, and some triumph over others. All nations will long for each other . . . the standard is tied to Kurdish Amalekites, the Arabs will triumph over the lands of Armenia and Saklab. . . . Expect the appearance of the one who spoke to Moses from a tree on the Mount. This will appear in plain sight and with distinct attributes.85
If God Almighty is the one who takes the souls of the creation: {God takes the souls} Quran, Chapter “The Troops” 39:42, it is also the angel of death whom God has delegated: {Say, "The angel of death will take you . . .} Quran Chapter “The Prostration” 32:11. So there is nothing wrong with the one who spoke to Moses being God: {And God spoke to Moses with direct speech} Quran Chapter “The Women” 4:164, as well as being one of His guardians by His command and delegation, as Imam AliPBUH said.
