For one, Jehovah's Witnesses not only believe in the return of Jesus Christ, we believe thet events on earth such as war, eathquake, famine, disease, crime, lack of security, and the critical times we live in, are proof from The Bible that Jesus has already returned, in the sence that he has taken authority as King of God's Kingdom. He has sat down on his throne, and he is now ruling. (Matthew 24:3-14; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; see also Luke chapter 21 and Mark chapter 13)
And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way. [Qur'an 43:61]
According to Islamic tradition, Jesus' descent will be in the midst of wars fought by the Mahdi (lit. "the rightly guided one"), as the redeemer of Islam, against the Antichrist ("false messiah") and his followers. Jesus will descend at the point of a white arcade in Damascus, dressed in yellow robes - his head anointed. He will then join the Mahdi in his war against the Dajjal. Jesus, considered in Islam as a Muslim, will abide by the Islamic teachings. Eventually, Jesus will slay the Dajjal, and then everyone from the people of the book (ahl al-kitÄb, referring to Jews and Christians) will believe in him. Thus, there will be one community, that of Islam. After the death of the Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice. Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Gog and Magog, ancient tribes which will disperse and cause destruction on earth. God, in response to Jesus' prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks, Jesus' rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die. Muslims will then perform the funeral prayer for him and then bury him in the city of Medina in a grave left vacant beside Muhammad, Abu Kabr and Umar (companions of Muhammad and the first and second Muslim caliphs respectively).
