Many were the greats (men) of the past, the helpers of GOD’s WAY, who became pure (hadith). Their accomplishments are great and known by ALLAH. However, only one became the MESSISAH or was chosen to be that MESSIAH who has been given praiseworthy note in the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Quran.
In the Quran, this man forms a similitude (a very great and deep similitude) to that of Adam (pbh) to be essentially an adam to the human race even to the extent of speaking before the peoples on the Last Day Q (5: 116-117) and declaring that he spoke the truth while the various peoples of the world dabbled in manufacturing religion according to their likes or dislikes. And this comes from a man who superficially one would declare had only a three year hiatus amongst his people with a further guarantee of not being harmed by them. Q (5: 110).
ALLAH DOES AS HE WILLS is a good answer for the above sensibilities but also the scriptures declare THIS MAN’S importance and stature yet the goodies and goals given to him by ALLAH are NOT to be perceived as those things which are given to us. An example of this is that of the loyalties and the obedience that were expected from the believers to Abu Bakr and ‘Umar during their reigns. Were they given prophethood? The answer is no! So we cannot compare these fine human specimens with that of the mold itself, Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
Other sensibilities come from studying scripture about certain important topics. Why not use all the evidence that can be found in one’s arsenal? To be sure Comparative Religion as a science can hopefully enlighten us on various topics including the times leading up to one of the world’s worst monsters – the Antichrist.
The Old Testament provides us with small bits and pieces concerning this infamous villain which can be studied to put a framework on him. Being knowledgeable about this evil person cannot but help the ‘careful’ to orient themselves away from his foul charms.
Although the Book of Daniel, Chapter 11 can give us a chilling though foggy picture of what is currently happening in the Middle East as well as things to look for before the entrance of this criminal beast, it is only through Islam that we can get the picture of what to do when the unfortunate time comes to meet with this heinous criminal.
So if scripture is used correctly, we can prepare and in the meantime remain strong against this foul, cancerous man. The Book of Daniel gives us ‘signs’ to look for in recognizing this cursed individual so that doubt is limited while hadith literature tells us how to protect and defend our faith.
Yes, we find problems in understanding various verses due to the type of prophecy presented. My book, KILL the BEAST, however did try to cover a great part of detail about the entrance of this very bad man. He is a normal looking man who will finally metamorphose into this monster.
Notice the times, not very well understood, between the ‘taking away of the sacrifice’ to the ‘blessed time’ will be approximately 3 years, 8 months and 15 days while the one to become the Antichrist, after his ‘change’ or alteration from whence he will not be able to reverse back to a normal man, will be on this earth for approximately 1 year, 2 months and fourteen days.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waits and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
But go your way till the end be: for you shall rest and stand in your lot at the end of days. Daniel (12: 11-13)
This may be explained as the time period when Al-Quds is no longer a prayer area as it will be desolated to the time of the total destruction of the Gog and Magog. This destruction of the Gog and Magog in one day is represented in hadith literature which has Jesus (pbh) and his companions stuck on the heights of Mount Tur for a very long time making earnest du’a to their LORD.
As I have said, the political intrigues going on at the present in the Middle East featuring that battered country Syria foreshadows what is to follow in the Book of Daniel. Who knows what more great horrors and political intrigues will be launched in this area?
Another thing to be careful about is the knowing of religion as a mother for its people in how to behave, the proper way of doing things. This ‘mother’ can be judged on her children (sects/ideas) that she has fostered. A look at my article The Proof of the Pudding Is in the Tasting tells a chilling picture of the many bastard-type children (faulty notions/sects, etc.) that have been produced from that Iranian sect and what and whom they support. Truly, by their fruits you will know them as the New Testament declares.
When people hold to their beliefs in stubborn arrogance, which in fact are proven to be corrupt and impractical as well as wrong, what complaint have they on the Last Day of Judgment if the Judgment goes against them? Did they not treat their ‘lifeboat’ to Paradise as an inherent gift from a ‘god’ who was so blessed to have them as worshipers that he would weep if they withheld their fickle praise?
Instead of finding the joys in truth as a celebration to understand our MAKER better (because in reality it is all about HIM) we as human beings tend to fall back on notions and philosophies that make life easier to swallow. That is why some people feel disoriented and ashamed when confronted with TRUTH and prefer what has been called the ‘life of this world’ and strange doctrines that keep us going.
For example, one of these doctrines is the doctrine of the Crucifixion which gets us off the hook pretty easy even though it is quite a bit hard to explain rationally. However, the most advanced and detailed discussion ever presented concerning the non-crucifixion event has been presented, to my knowledge at least, on this website, Insha ALLAH. To do this one method had to be accomplished following the dictates of ALLAH’s WORD:
Say: “O People of the Book! Let us come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” If then they turn back, say ye: “Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah’s Will). Q (3: 64)
The Christians proudly point to certain verses in the Old Testament and the New Testament which prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus the Christ (pbh) suffered and was crucified. They are wrong even though the non-defined ‘suffering’ verses themselves ARE CORRECT! These Christians are wrong, as we shall see later, because they have mistranslated those verses to the wrong man and the wrong time – to Jesus NO but to the Christ-soul YES! There is a difference but it is a difficult concept to grasp and one that very few people would be comfortable with!
There is no need to fain being shocked because Jesus (pbh) explained ‘it’ quite nicely.
Here, we are told to discuss or dwell on COMMONALITIES between the religions especially in any or all things that would show directly or indirectly the ONENESS and UNIQUENESS of ALLAH as to the ‘be all and is all’ that is important for existence. That also translates into the demystifying things that would sidetrack men’s thinking on the Divine. Therefore, in the commonalities of events leading up to the crucifixion and after the crucifixion, one should take a closer look at what really took place when using the science of Comparative Religion.
Two things are very noteworthy in this discussion. First, the Quran seemingly has only one verse concerning this event: directly yes, however, indirectly NO! This one verse from GOD’s WORD tells us plainly that there was such an event and that it will cause a great deal of confusion about these ‘particulars’ that took place. This will apply to every religion that has dealt with the crucifixion of Jesus the son of Mary (pbh).
Moreover, the outcome should be very, very clear to the majority of those who call themselves Muslims, at least, and that is that Jesus was neither on the cross nor was he killed (by that cross) nor did he leave Palestine AFTER that event except to be raised up to the heavens in body and soul. This should be clear to all who call themselves Muslims but that is not the case!
So-called Muslim crucifixion theories that can be culled from various Islamic sects are the following:
- Nobody was crucified – the story is simply an invention or myth created supposedly by the church.
- 2. Jesus was indeed crucified by GOD by HIS WILL by the sheer willing it to happen so nobody gets the blame on that activity because no man crucified him – it was GOD WHO did it.
- 3. Another person was crucified in place of Jesus and this person was Judas Iscariot or Simon the Cyrene or a man called Titanus or somebody newly created for the purpose of having someone hang on the cross to be seen of men or a man called Jesus Barabbas or a Jewish Rabbi or a Roman soldier or maybe just a common criminal.
- 4. Then there is the suspended animation belief where Jesus is actually crucified and goes into suspended animation such that he fainted and was revived somehow and then made his way to Afghanistan and finally ended up married in Kashmir and finally buried in Kashmir at the ripe old age of 120!
REAL Islam is going to be based on the majority of opinions so that various ‘cults’ or freak sects calling themselves real Muslims will be happily eliminated. If not for this Islamic judgment call, then anyone loose in the head might come forth with yet another new and provocative but BASELESS THEORY based on poorly scripted conjecture and not on any strong and consistent textual verses.
Therefore, the most plausible ‘theory’ or most accepted believable fact as to what occurred concerning the crucifixion event is number 3 or the ‘theory’ that states that some person was mistakenly crucified in place of Jesus (pbh). This is called the Substitution Theory.
So it appears on the world stage that ‘those’ who call themselves Muslims are in ‘doubt’ about what occurred to Jesus (pbh) concerning his supposed manner of ‘death’ or non-death and they join their fellow Christian brothers as to those who are in great doubt.
However, by following and UNDERSTANDING the Quran that is just not true!!! First of all, there is more than just one verse connected to the crucifixion event which I have detailed which makes things more interesting and understandable. Also, we go back to verse Q (3: 64) and are told to LOOK FOR THOSE COMMONALITIES and maybe, just maybe, we will be given some guidelines as to what really happened on that fateful day.
The second important thing to keep in mind is what thought can be generated about the ‘Books’ from the other people of the Book? To sum up this thought generated from the Quran and hadiths is to suggest ‘to proceed but with caution’ when examining their records.
The case about their ‘doctrines’ is another matter entirely!!! Their records seem to be fairly straight forward on the important details so it really is the INTERPRETATION of such that is the real sticking point here. However, guided by the Quran first and foremost one can study the records as they should be studied even in these modern times.
Naturally, with the knowledge that the New Testament was written and then molded into shape by the group of people known as the presbyters would be helpful. Also, in knowing that the ‘records’ also received FURTHER ‘peculiar editing’ at a later date would be helpful when some things were deleted and some things were added into the manuscript ostensibly to ‘clarify’ matters and even other things were juxtaposed to make things ‘work out’ or come to a certain desired conclusion.
An example of this can be found in the Acts whereby a Greek word used for Prophet David (pbh) is correctly translated as SERVANT such that David is the Servant of GOD. The same Greek word when used for Jesus (pbh) is translated as SON. Why? This shows an example of manipulation ‘after the fact’ whereby the truth is there and obvious if things were done above board meaning out in the open and done honestly.
The New Testament itself declares in Revelations what will happen to the records now known as the New Testament. In Revelations chapter 17 we are given a name of filth called a woman and this woman is a city and has imperial (royal) colors driving the beast. The worst filthy thing imaginable in religion is what is called SHIRK or joining partners with the ONE GOD. Therefore, this Harlot by virtue of its pollutions to the pure creed of Jesus (pbh) will come from an imperial city that will sanction such doctrines of trash – Rome.
This occurred with the ‘writings’ based in the very earliest parts of the second century which shows us that it was NOT Paul who started this wave of ugliness. In fact, according to (First Corinthians 3: 2):
I have fed you with milk and not with meat: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet are you able {to bear it}.
This will signal that the New Testament will be composed of a lot of ‘Gnostic’ literature and that of course will present a lot of danger in itself.
I am not questioning the makeup of the New Testament or what I would have preferred being the style that these books should have followed. That Judgment belongs to ALLAH and HE sets the tone for HIS PERFECT PLAN to succeed and for the REASONS HE has placed therein in the great scheme of things. All I am saying is that one must approach the understanding of the New Testament as not a Quran styled book but one based a lot on things that are ‘DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND’ and therefore easy to be manipulated as the host or authority wishes.
A great example of this concerns the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (pbh) as the Spirit of truth. We have on record that Heraclius, the Roman Emperor, knew that another prophet from the ARAB LINE would come after Jesus the son of Mary (pbh). However, the thinking back then from the so-called Intelligencia was that this Arab prophet would spring up from the land now called Syria. That idea, which can be derived from the existent records Acts (3: 22-23), was kept hidden from the masses.
Now importantly, way before the date of Heraclius, during the time BEFORE the NEW TESTAMENT was created and approved from the various recorded parchments or documents there existed a man born from Turkey who nearly wrecked Christianity. His name was Montanus and he operated around 130 AD.
Montanus’ claim was that HE WAS THIS NEW PROPHET SPOKEN BY JESUS AND, AS A RESULT, HE WAS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH SENT TO ‘REVIVE THE TRUTH’. According to his claim, he was enlightened by the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost so he started to give out prophecy and, in truth, many Christians were starting to believe and follow him. He even shook the halls of Rome and even Popedom for a while. Therefore, Christianity was about to undergo a radical change IF this character wasn’t stopped. Well, he was stopped and that is that.
However, the important lesson is found in ‘how to stop ANY FURTHER CLAIMS’ that would be coming down the pike from this direction. The answer became easy. The Spirit of truth was NOT going to be looked at as a MAN anymore but rather a spirit of some possible Divine origin somehow related to the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. Anyway, the idea of a MAN to come as GOD’s representative to usher in TRUTH and not continue with FICTIONAL CHURCH CREATED DOGMA was clipped short and effectively shot down.
As to the Biblical verses concerning the Spirit of truth found in the Gospel of John, we might conjecture that the Greek word Paraclete was somehow altered to make the definition of the Spirit of truth more oblique and less clear. Muslims who have examined the current verses of John, which declares the Spirit of truth, find the things that ‘he will do’ totally spot on with only the question of ‘who’ actually will be sending him! One might understand that Jesus (pbh) might be a ‘doorway’ but that in truth it would be only the ONE GOD WHO will be deciding when and where HIS servants will appear.
Minor alterations such as this might throw the novice for a loop but to a serious and HONEST student of comparative religion the true facts are NOT SO EASILY HIDDEN.
This discussion was put forward to show how, with the help of ALLAH and a careful understanding of Tawheed in its wider sense, a relative and honest viewpoint can be derived from the scriptures in most cases. Of course it goes without saying that the Quran takes precedence over any scripture due to its guaranteed 100% purity in the Arabic Language.
Now as for the Holy BOOKS, we find that each Holy BOOK has its own flavor and its own purpose. Its own flavor is found in the tone and style of the BOOKS themselves. As to their purpose, the real purpose of any religion is to show the ONENESS and UNIQUENESS of the ONE and ONLY GOD.
Its other purpose (long range, short range effects and influences) belong to the UNSEEN. Why? After all, ALLAH’s PLAN in taking total note of every thought or whim, which doesn’t escape HIS NOTICE, must do its intended job on the specific individual. That idea creates one deep and sometimes disturbing or awakening thought concerning the notion of an ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING LORD WHO does NOT surrender HIS CONTROL over the entire universe nor does HE SLEEP or SLUMBER nor is HE at wits end concerning HIS various creations in purpose and intent!
In other words, HE RULES with PERFECTION so far beyond our understanding that it is TOTALLY an IMPOSSIBILITY TO COMPREHEND OR ENCOMPAS HIS LOFTY EXISTANCE. In this case, no matter how smart we think we are, we can’t catch lightning in a bottle and this answers the question of why Muslims have reacted strongly when people try to ‘humanize’ THE GOD!
In knowing the different Holy Books and its deep purpose but unable to pinpoint exactitude, we can assume that a certain flavor was allowed to be ‘set down’ or introduced for certain purposes. Suffice it to say that when looking at the New Testament we see a parallel work of history and Gnosticism involved which would require deep thought and a balanced mind to harmonize.
In other words, it is not automatic that the Book itself will constantly produce the same results on everyone. A case in point in the New Testament has occurred whereby historically some have used this book to PROVE that Jesus (pbh) was only a MAN versus others who use the same book to prove that he is Divine. Therefore, this book, like any other Holy Book can uplift or destroy one depending on the ‘hidden factors’ known only by the ONE GOD.
Knowing the history of the New Testament gives us just that! Basically, the New Testament is a product of the generation after Jesus (pbh) as well as the next generation after that with some alterations occurring even after that generation. The makeup of the New Testament is both historical and Gnostic with a Gnostic flavor of trying to prove that Jesus is the one and true Messiah given to the world by the ONE GOD, the ONE GOD whom they call FATHER meaning FATHER and CARETAKER of ALL THINGS.
One has to keep a balance here so one doesn’t make out Jesus (pbh) to be less than he is or even more than he is. Because there is a Pauline flavor to those ‘books’ found in the New Testament, one must provide balance to be safe. And because of this Pauline flavor, we need to look at Paul and understand that type of intent as it applies to Jesus the son of Mary (pbh).
I have fed you with milk and not with meat: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet are you able {to bear it}. First Corinthians (3: 2)
This most accurate statement suggests extreme caution and years of faithful and well-balanced study in devotion to seeking out truth and a belief in Jesus (pbh) as the Messiah as the crowning point at the pinnacle of prophethood until, of course, the REINFORCER comes to clarify the issues (the next prophet – Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
Now, hopefully, I can clarify certain points. From the New Testament Jesus (pbh) is written about being, by interpretation, the second adam and the last adam. In following that notion of being an adam and by definition there were several, it will be shown to various degrees and styles in the Holy Books that THERE HAS BEEN A MYSTERY TAGED ONTO HIS NAME.
And indeed! This has some bearing on the crucifixion issue mainly because of misrepresentation. The misrepresentation comes from the ‘notion’ to believe that he suffered, was crucified and died. However, the mystery of the Messiah person together with the Six Ages of man theory opens up some of the ‘shrouded’ picture of the Messiah, Insha ALLAH.
The following verses are about or related to the man whom we know as the Messiah BUT THESE VERSES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CRUCIFIXION EVENT OR SUFFERING ON THE CROSS:
Who in the days of his flesh {his earthly sojourn}, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save him from death and was {indeed} heard in that he feared {for his very soul}.
Though he were a Son {that is, amongst those on high} yet he learned how to obey by that which he suffered {so that he would be given the WAYS and MEANS to ALL ENDS with ALLAH’s Permission}. Hebrews (5: 7-8).
He is despised and rejected {of truth} by men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Isaiah (53: 3) together with Isaiah (53: 4- 9) plus:
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; HE has put him to grief {for a purpose}… (Isaiah (53: 10)
Therefore I (GOD) will divide for him a portion with the great and {furthermore} he shall divide the spoil with the strong {get DOUBLE the reward because of his labors in the field}; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was {used to be} numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many {that is, he took on the temptations of many and conquered them and became in the end sinless} and made intercession for the transgressors {and inherited the right to be honored as THE MESSIAH in the kingdom that will be given to him}. Isaiah (53: 12)
If I had NOT come and spoken unto them, they had NOT had sin; but NOW they have NO CLOKE FOR THEIR SIN. John (15: 22).
Search the scriptures; for in them you think that you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me {show who I am}. John (5: 39)
Who is this person that they call Jesus the son of Mary and how can we view him as to the scriptures? He, by definition, is called the ‘second adam and the last adam. And in this way some of the mysteries of the New Testament become understandable instead of words that sound like pure gobbledygook! Indeed, even parts of the Quran take on a deeper and fuller expression when this man is understood.
But don’t we understand him now and isn’t the Quran enough for us? Yes, but for others trapped in a fantasy world the answer is no. So throw those who are truly willing to climb out of the quicksand of delusions a ‘rope of clarity’ and see the real Jesus, the Islamic Jesus – The Legacy (pbh).
And so it is written: The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last adam was made a quickening spirit. First Corinthians (15: 45).
In truth, what occurred millions of years ago with our father Adam (pbh), the father of the human race, is mostly not known. We have in the geological records some bones that tell some of us of a very tragic event in what is called ‘human history’ going back millions of years. That is a statement of fact taking into consideration the fossil record without denying it and the belief that MAN was originally created by the ‘hands’ of ALLAH as a perfect well-formed being and NOT needing evolution to take out a so-called ‘monkey phase’.
The second thing is the pure race of people from adam to the family of Imran down through the ages surviving the Great Flood which occurred over 32,000 years ago, but ALLAH KNOWS BEST. We don’t want to make these things racial but we divide humanity into the pure versus the tainted ones of which we read about in the Old Testament in Genesis. Genesis is not super clear about what happened but a mixing took place between the ‘pure races’ called the sons of God in their Book and the daughters of men or those that might be called ‘things’.
This mixing was NOT going to lead to the uplifting of mankind but to its degradation and therefore, eventually, came the GREAT FLOOD which would eradicate a lot of this zoo. And surviving this flood from that large area would come the ‘pure race’ or those truly human in form and nature or not the ‘tainted’ ones.
One such a man who became prominent and highly blessed in the EYES of GOD is one soul who became chastised by ALLAH’s good pleasure to eventually stand forth as a symbol (a SIGN) of man’s struggles and overcoming sin.
Who in the days of his flesh {his earthly sojourn}, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save him from death {spiritual death} and was {indeed} heard in that he feared {for his very soul}.
Though he were a Son {that is, amongst those on high} yet he learned how to obey by that which he suffered {so that he would be given the WAYS and MEANS to ALL ENDS with ALLAH’s Permission}. Hebrews (5: 7-8).
This is important to note because of what Isaiah says as well as the New Testament which the Christians refer to as Christ’s suffering (in life and especially on the Cross). But by using the other interpretation we see things quite differently!
First of all, the Quran itself declares that Jesus (pbh) did NOT suffer at the hands of the Jews but rather it was GOD WHO protected Jesus from the wrath of the children of Israel. Therefore, these Biblical verses have nothing to do with the crucifixion. Furthermore, these verses are truthful but must have a fit somewhere for them to make any sense! And they would make sense if one could understand the following:
Therefore, does my FATHER {GOD} love me because I lay down my life that I might take it again.
No man {can} take it from me but I lay it down of {and by} myself. I have {been given, like all prophets, certain gifts and this gift is the} power to lay it down and I have {been given} power to take it {up} again. This commandment {gift} have I received from the ONE GOD. John (10: 17-18).
The similitude of Jesus before ALLAH is as that of Adam; HE created him from dust, then said to him: “BE”: and he was. Q (3: 59)
Then learnt Adam from his LORD certain words and his LORD turned towards him; for HE is the Oft-Returning, the Most Merciful. Q (2: 37)
The last verse from the Quran applies to Adam (pbh) as well as his similitude adam for:
Who in the days of his flesh {his earthly sojourn}, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save him from death and was {indeed} heard in that he feared {for his very soul}.
Though he were a Son {that is, amongst those on high} yet he learned how to obey by that which he suffered {so that he would be given the WAYS and MEANS to ALL ENDS with ALLAH’s Permission}. Hebrews (5: 7-8).
For a certainty he, Jesus, has this gift given to him by ALLAH so he can be the shepherd to many though the worldly-wise tried in vain to cut him off. And the Messiah is responsible for many peoples because he is that CHIEF SHEPHERD to the believers and no name under heaven is accounted for that.
All that means is that he is the rightful Messiah, the rightful ‘king’ of the earthly paradise to come. So therefore, he must have many flocks and on the Last Day he will be questioned and it will be made abundantly clear that others have twisted his teachings and lied about him in any age.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice (know the WAY or pattern laid down by him who was not crucified); and {in the end – the Fifth Age of man} there shall be one fold {ISLAM} and one shepherd. John (10: 16)
We do not have to know the particulars of this but in knowing that Noah (pbh) spent hundreds of years in service to his LORD while Jesus (pbh) spent only 3 protected years of preaching gives one the notion that there are more wonders in heaven and earth than one cares to admit.
For the Messiah is similar to ISLAM in that he is NOT just for one nation but for all nations that would accept him – ONE GOD, ONE MESSIAH, ONE PEOPLES, ONE RELIGION UNDER THAT WAY PROFESSED BY PROPHET MUHAMMAD WHO IS THE LEADER OF THE PROPHETS IN THIS WORLD (DONE AT JERUSALEM ON HIS NIGHT JOURNEY AND IN THE HEREAFTER).
The job of Jesus (the Messiah) is by historical definition the CHIEF cornerstone to lead the whole ‘chosen’ world into the arena for Salvation. Yes, there will be others doing this job BUT his is the honor of being buried with the Prophet Muhammad (pbh) when he dies. And that honor is worth much, much more than possessing all the gold and jewel treasures of Earth. In fact, it is such a stupendous honor that it becomes mindboggling just thinking about it.
And it is a wonder to see grown men, who ponder on the placing of Jesus (pbh) in the grave of Muhammad when he finally dies, as their eyes well up in tears magnified just by this thought. Whereas others think of this event as ‘so what’! Not even Moses (pbh) or Abraham (pbh) earned the right of this magnified honor! And why would the honor be given to one who spent only 3 years toiling in the field with a guarantee that he would receive protection against bodily harm from the villainous Jews?
Then will ALLAH say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount MY favor to you and to your mother…. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) you when you did show them the Clear Signs and the unbelievers among them said: “This in nothing but evident magic.” Q (5: 110)
Because that soul was instrumental in the development of mankind through various ways and means that ALLAH has decided, one would expect him to play a significant role at the end of times before a varied audience and not just Christians in reaffirming the real truth and showing up the falsehoods of those who took delights in disbelief by altering the true dogma. And we find this in the Quran showing just such a moment:
And behold! ALLAH will say: O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, “Take me and my mother for two gods beside ALLAH?” He will say: “Glory to YOU! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing YOU would indeed have known it. YOU KNOWEST what is in my heart, though I {confess} that I do not know what is in YOUR HEART. For YOU KNOW in totality everything that is hidden.
Never said I to them anything except what YOU DID COMMAND ME TO SAY WHICH WAS, “WORSHIP ALLAH, MY LORD AND YOUR LORD.” And I was a witness over what they were practicing while I lived amongst them; when YOU took me up {resurrected me} YOU became the WATCHER over them and YOU are a WITNESS TO ALL THINGS. Q (5: 116-117)
All of these things are important when looking at the Christ-soul. For if we are not privy to mighty secrets, it doesn’t matter. What counts is that of the one who came after the truly great Messiah and what he represented as to the value of (religious) truth especially pertaining to what really matters in the science called religion and how to succeed in having a happy ending when Judgment Time arrives i.e., Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
And one can hardly sit still when pondering about Prophet Muhammad’s true station when knowing that ALL the faithful day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year along with the highly honored Jesus (pbh) and the Arab Mahdi (both Muslims) will be making strong du’a for Muhammad (pbh) to achieve the ‘greatest station’ amongst the creations of ALLAH!!!
So in understanding all of these things we can respect the MAN Jesus (pbh), for he is only and will always be no more than a man. So, also we can see and have a glimmer of what the New Testament purports about this wonderful man called Messiah Christ Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) as long as one doesn’t go overboard in his beliefs.
And one must also remember that his ‘gifts’ given to him by ALLAH are NOT given to us. And as an adam*, chosen by ALLAH HIMSELF, he becomes the STANDARD BEARER for the human race and the door opener for the COMPLETER OF TRUE FAITH who is the ONE most beloved by GOD – Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
*In my other writings, I have stated that he is an adam and NOT the ADAM (pbh) and of course there are so many things which we do not understand nor, in fact, do we need to understand these things. However, attacking the New Testament with a meat cleaver as some do, just because they cannot understand its ‘passion’ is not the proper thing to do.
But in saying this, it must be noted that I take from here and I take from there certain verses. Why skip a lot more? Basically, because it will be found that others have ‘sliced and diced’ the manuscripts according to their own erroneous interpretations thus adding thoughts that were NOT there or entwining their alien thoughts to the original manuscripts which would cause confusion. However, there is no confusion at all when Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) is regulated to one of the mightiest messengers of ALLAH and one of those who are in the company of those closest to ALLAH!
The end result is to show or to make with more clarity:
- The finer distinctions of this man but giving praise only to the ONE GOD!
- To show that sometimes a ‘needle’ can be found in the proverbial haystack but under correct interpretation people may be guided to the truth.
- To make it crystal clear that ‘fantastic sayings or doings’ amongst men about mere men must never break the UNITY, DOMINION, POWER, UNIQUENESS AND EXHAULTED EXCELLENCE OF THE ONE GOD WHO HAS NO PARTNERS AND NO EQUALS!
Who needs not daily, as to those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins {failures} and then {again} for the peoples {as a representative or Sign}: for this he did once, when he offered up himself Hebrews (7: 27) {{{ Who in the days of his flesh {his earthly sojourn}, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto HIM that was able to save him from death {spiritual death} and was {indeed} heard in that he {really and truly} feared {for his very soul}}}. Hebrews (5: 7).
This is the stone which was set at naught {as nothing} of {by} you builders {doctrine makers} which is {NOW} become the head of the corner {the Islamic Messiah – The Legacy}. Acts (4: 11)
For ALLAH had a Plan and although people plot and plan ALLAH is THE BEST OF THOSE WHO PLAN!
