MUHAMMAD WENT TO HEAVEN AND RETURNED BEFORE HE DIED. If This Were True This Would Mean Muhammad Is Greater Than Elijah Who Was Taken Up In A Chariot To Heaven. Of course, there are many who dismiss Muhammad as just an agent of the Roman Catholics, but that is another matter.

How factual is Mohammed's claim that while still living, he went to heaven and led the biblical prophets in performing salat?

If Muhammad’s claim is factual that he went to Heaven, and a Muslim accepts this to be true, but then rejects the truth Jesus said that we are to love one another and He is coming back to judge everyone according to his or her deeds, then they have some serious problems.

The following is taken from Islamic City:

Jesus (‘Isa)

(Upon whom be peace), just as all the other prophets, is a chosen slave of Allah whom Allah assigned to summon people to the true path. However, there are some attributes of Jesus

distinguishing him from other prophets, the most important one being that he was raised up to Allah and that he will come back to earth again.

Contrary to what most people believe, Jesus

was not crucified and killed nor did he die for any other reason. The Quran tells us that they did not kill him and they did not crucify him and that Allah raised him up to Him. In none of the verses, is there an actual reference to his murder or that he was killed, apart from the verse (ayah) which denies that it happened. Furthermore, the Quran acquaints us with some events from the life of Jesus

which have not yet happened. Thus, his second coming to earth is a prerequisite for these events to happen. There is no doubt that the Quran’s revelations will surely happen.

Despite this, however, many people assume that Jesus

passed away some thousands of years ago and that thus it is unlikely that he will return. This is a misconception arising from lack of knowledge about the Quran and the Sunnah. A careful scrutiny of the Quran will render an accurate understanding of the verses about Jesus

possible.

Our Prophet

also told us that Jesus

will be sent back to earth and related that in that time, which is called “the end of time”, there may be a period in which the earth will attain unprecedented peace, justice and welfare. The “end times” refers to the period of time close to the end of the world. According to Islam, in this time, there will be the terrible trials of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), many earthquakes and the emergence of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) after which the ways of the Quran will prevail and people will extensively adhere to the values it introduces.—- Islamic City

Facts are fascinating in many instances. Reality is a fact for many, but only when they feel the pain of not enjoying the goodness life promises. For those who know Lord Jesus Christ as I do, Heaven comes down to Earth.

• You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. Psalm 16:11

Whether Muhammad went to Heaven or not, I do not know. What I know is that when the presence of the Lord Jesus is revealed, this is like Heaven coming down to Earth.
