That 'Isa (peace be upon him) is from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the accuracy of this statement: that the words of this Ummah are after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), 'Isa (peace be upon him), because he will descend and be from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
'Isa (peace be upon him) is a prophet and a messenger, but in the end times he will rule by the Shari'ah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So when the Ummah is mentioned in a general sense, it refers to the followers of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) who were contemporaries of the Messenger, to whom he was sent and who believed in him. The best of the Ummah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, then 'Umar, then 'Uthman, then 'Ali, the four Caliphs, then the rest of the ten promised Paradise, then the people of Badr and the people of the Pledge of al-Ridwan, then the rest of the Companions. As for 'Isa (peace be upon him), his following is a specific following, not a general following. It is a specific following, so he is among the followers of the Messenger in that he will rule by the Shari'ah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the end times. It is not said that he is from the Ummah, from the Ummah of Muhammad, 'Isa. 'Isa is an independent prophet. Yes.
