Quotation from Quran:
[43:58] And when the son of Mary is mentioned as an instance, lo! thy people raise a clamour thereat;
[43:59] And they say, ‘Are our gods better, or he?’ They mention not this to thee but for the sake of disputation. Nay, but they are a contentious people.
[43:60] He was only Our servant on whom We bestowed Our favour, and We made him an example for the children of Israel.
[43:61] And if We so willed, We could make from among you angels in the earth to be successors therein.
[43:62] But verily, he was a sign of the Hour. So have no doubt about it, but follow me. This is the right path.
[43:63] And let not Satan hinder you. Surely, he is to you an open enemy.
[43:64] And when Jesus came with clear proofs, he said, ‘Truly I am come to you with wisdom, and to make clear to you some of that about which you differ. So fear Allah and obey me.
[43:65] ‘Verily Allah — He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is the right path.’

So on Judgment Day who does a Muslim follow? Muhammad? He’s dead and buried in Medina. So who will appear to Muslims in Judgment Day to follow? Is it not Jesus?

Hi
Our Protestant friends think that in verse 43:62, given above, Day of Judgment has been discussed only. I don’t agree with them. Quran mentions “the Hour”, an important time or a turning hour, in the history of man, which could be many after when Jesus passed away. For instance advent of Muhammad and or still later advent of Second Coming 1835-1908, in the present times, may also have been referred, I don’t deny that.
I respect my friends here, so, in supposition we take it to be the Day of Judgment, and we would see it in the light of Quran only, as our friends want it this way.
Fortunately both the straight path or the straight way and the Day of Judgment have been mentioned, though briefly in the first or the introductory Chapter of Quran Al-Fatihah or The Opener; and in detail in the later chapters/verses spread over whole of the Quran:
[1:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[1:2] All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,
[1:3] The Gracious, the Merciful,
[1:4] Master of the Day of Judgment.
[1:5] Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.
[1:6] Guide us in the right path —
[1:7] The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray.

I think every body would agree with me on this that it has been very clearly and in a very straightforward manner mentioned in the above verses that Allah is the Master of the Day of Judgment, none else.
Jesus is not even mentioned there, and very truly, as no name of any other Messenger has been mentioned therein. Only Allah, the Master would judge everybody including Jesus there as per Quran, in my opinion.
I remember one such place where Jesus’ name has been mentioned. Jesus would be judged by Allah at that hour:
[5:117] And when Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?’”, he will answer, “Holy art Thou. I could never say that to which I had no right. If I had said it, Thou wouldst have surely known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. It is only Thou Who art the Knower of hidden things.
[5:118] “I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command
me — ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things.
[5:119] “If Thou punish them, they are Thy servants; and if Thou forgive them, Thou surely art the Mighty, the Wise.”

So, as per Quran, it is very clear that not only Allah would be the Master of the Day of Judgment but on that day Jesus would be admonished and accounted for the wrong beliefs of the Protestants and other Christians. Naturally Jesus would clarify his position only in the matter, in my opinion.
I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran
Thanks
