opposed to him dying the accursed death which his adversaries had wished for. To further support the view of Jesus having died a mortal death, Ahmadis use the following verse in the Quran 5:76: In the preceding verse, Jesus is compared to the previous Messengers – all of whom had died a natural death and none of whom had ascended bodily to Heaven. From the following verse in Al-Imran and Al-Anbiya, the Quran clarifies that all messengers before Muhammad, including Jesus, had died: Hadith accounts To illustrate the death of Jesus, Ahmadiyya scholars use references to various Islamic hadith. For example, As Muhammad had lived and died after some 60 years, Jesus must also have died. In other words, as Muhammad had died, this states that there likewise was a death of Jesus. During the Mi'raj, Muhammad had also seen Jesus in the second heaven along with John the Baptist.

Similarities to Jesus Henceforth, Ahmadi Muslims believe this prediction – the Second Coming – was fulfilled by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and continued by his movement. Universal prophethood Adherents of the Ahmadiyya movement assert that the expected arrival of a latter day Messiah is represented across all major faiths. The prophecy of the messiah historically diverged into several theories and distinct interpretations which filtered across through the world's religious movements. The original Messianic prophecy nonetheless, only referred
