Hazrat Jesus (A.S) was the son of Maryam who was a virgin mother and the daughter of Imran. He was the decedents of David, Isaac, and Abraham (A.S). The holy Qur’ān declared Him only the son of Maryam and enlisted in the decedents of the apostles. He spent a specific time period in the world and after that was uplifted towards the heavens. He will come down back near the day of resurrection and will make act upon the Sharī’ah of Muhammad (PBUH). He will kill the Dajjāl and after staying for a specific time period will die naturally and will be buried in city of Medina. Muhammad Shaikh who was born in Karachi established an institute named International Islamic Propagation Center for the teaching of the Qur’ān, He is totally against the authentic universal teaching of the Qur’ān concerning Jesus Christ. He vies that Jesus was born in Makah. It is universally acknowledge that he was given Gospel whereas Muhammad Shaikh rejects this completely. He insists that Muhammad is not the last prophet and the intercession in the Day of Judgment was not given to Muhammad but to Jesus and the Qur’ān is not only al-Kitāb, rather Gospel also the entitlement of al-Kitāb. He is of the view that right of intercession will be given to Jesus. Prophet-hood was not ended to Muhammad, it accedes further. In this article the thoughts of Muhammad Shaikh will be examined in the light of the Qur’ān, the Sunnah, and the views of Jamhūr Mufassirīn (majority of interpreters of the Qur’ān and  the Sunnah).

The article critically analyzes Muhammad Shaikh's interpretations, highlighting his deviations from established Islamic theology regarding Jesus (A.S.). It argues that Shaikh's understanding is based on a misinterpretation of Arabic lexicography and semantic distortions, leading him to reject authentic Hadith and established Islamic beliefs.
Muhammad Shaikh holds views on Jesus (A.S.) that contradict the universally accepted teachings of Islam and the interpretations of the majority of scholars. These include his beliefs about Jesus's birthplace, the scriptures given to him, his death, and his role in intercession on the Day of Judgment.
Accepting the intercessory role of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a fundamental aspect of Islamic faith. Muhammad Shaikh's denial of this and other core Islamic tenets places him outside mainstream Islamic belief, potentially depriving him of the Prophet's intercession if he dies without repentance.
1. Jesus's Birthplace: Muhammad Shaikh claims Jesus was born in Makkah, citing the presence of water and dates. The article contrasts this with the majority view that he was born in Syria or Egypt, near Bait-ul-Maqdas.
2. Jesus's Ascension: Muhammad Shaikh asserts Jesus died naturally. The article refutes this, citing Qur'anic verses and Hadith that indicate Jesus was raised to heaven alive by Allah.
3. Intercession: Muhammad Shaikh suggests Jesus has the right of intercession. The article asserts that the grand intercession on the Day of Judgment is exclusively granted to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as supported by numerous Hadith and Qur'anic interpretations.
