Before Jesus conquered death, which He must, to consummate soteriology, He led the spirit of death, Satan and his evil principalities in a triumphant procession to heaven. Jesus is the first to resurrect from death; He, as the Adonai, must of necessity take preeminence in all things. Does the Qur’an give any empyreal insight into where Muhammad went after his death? Allah, obviously, did not prepare his last prophet for his eventual demise, to enable Muhammad to tidy up the Quranic documentation of his empyrean entry after death. Jesus did not only go directly to heaven, He sat, in heaven, at the right hand of empyrean Majesty. How can he be the first to resurrect when the genuineness of the Hadith clearly documents, “Narrated ‘Abu Huraira: “When Allah revealed the Verse: “Warn your nearest kinsmen,” Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) got up and said, “O people of Quraish (or said similar words)!

I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah’s Messenger (pbuh)! I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Wills and Testaments (Wasaayaa) Book 55, Hadith 16)? Read More
