The answer

The prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the seal of prophethood, according to the texts of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent before our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). When he descends at the end of time, he will not bring a new law but will rule according to the law of our Prophet. The revelation that will be revealed to him does not abrogate or renew our Sharia. The descent of a plan for him, through which his companions will be safe from Gog and Magog, is not considered a new revelation that contradicts the sealing of prophethood.
