11:34 Question from Algeria: Meaning from a verse of Surah Maryam, was Idrees (Elijah) risen to heaven?

12:26 If Idrees (Elijah) was bodily lifted into space there would be some verse which would mention his return as well. Translation of Rafa: Lifting of body to a place very high cannot suffice the explanation. Then why hasn’t he come back? Muslim scholars agree that prior to Muhammad(saw), no Idrees(as) returned and after Holy Prophet(saw) no descent of prophet was prophesied from Quran or Hadith. This proves our translation is right and theirs is wrong. Rafa means alleviation in status. It is spiritual alleviation and should not be taken in literal sense.
