While the Quran does not describe any of the above narrative of Jesus' return,<ref>Roberto Tottoli ''Biblical Prophets in the Qur'an and Muslim Literature'' Routledge, 11 January 2013  {{ISBN|978-1-136-12314-6}} p. 121</ref> many Muslims believe that two Quranic verses refer to his second coming during the end times.<ref name="WARREN LARSON p. 335"/> (1) The verse mentioned above stating he is never died on earth:  
*"And [for] their saying, 'Indeed, we have killed Christ, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain." (Q.4:157:) 
A second verse interpreted to indicate a connection between Jesus and "the Hour" (end times): 
*"And lo! verily there is knowledge of the Hour. So doubt ye not concerning it, but follow Me. This is the right path." (Q.43:61 trans Pickthall).<ref name="WARREN LARSON p. 335"/>

Hadiths on Jesus's return are traced back to [[Abu Hurairah]], one of the {{transliteration|ar|[[sahaba]]}}, but might actually have been introduced later during civil wars in the early [[Abbasid Caliphate]], when a savior was expected. While for Shias, the Mahdi will be the savior, some Sunnis tended to expect Jesus' return. During the early [[Abbasid Caliphate]], wearing crucifixes in processions and holding pigs in public, was forbidden. Otherwise, the breaking of the cross, might reflect general disapproval of this symbol by Muslims, and slaying pigs a reference to Jesus exorcism of [[Legion (demons)|Legion]].<ref name="ReferenceA">Neal Robinson ''Christ in Islam and Christianity'' SUNY Press 1 January 1991 {{ISBN|9780791405581}} p. 104</ref>
