PRESENTATION
by the author
To those who have awakened the sun, rescued hope, and renewed the youth of Islam ...
To those who have liberated their minds from the shackles of parents, and turned their faces toward the
sky ...
until God answered their prayers ...
To:
Evelyn Coupled, Maryam Jamila, Sabora Uribe, Salma Bwaver, Jeffrey Lang, Murad Hoffman,
Mohammad Sidique, and Yusuf Islam ...
and to others whom we may not know.....but God knows them.
I pray to God to let us taste the mercy that they experienced at the moment they pronounced the
testimony [Shahada] :
'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of him'
Preface by interpreter
This is not the whole book of Dr. Dalati. Actually I'm presenting here only few chapters (with the
approval of the author); my aim is to present the free world a better look to Islam, and to shed some
light on the portrayal of Jesus Christ in the Holy Qur'an. The title of the book refers to those people
who were related to Jesus, but then, loved him even more after their conversion to Islam!
This book contains stories of some of them, many of them indicated how lost they were, they loved
Jesus but could not accept trinity, they found in Islam what they could accept. Some of them were
looking for answers, about the meaning of life, that was only and finally fulfilled by Islam.
To many of them, Islam was their final refugee, It came last in their search, after they passed through
many faiths and believes, until they finally reached Islam, to be relieved!
Islam testimony [shahada] "There's no Deity but God [Allah]" refers to the Great Creator of the
universe, who has the ultimate power upon each atom of it, God who never begot, nor was begotten,
and there's nothing equivalent to him.
Islam came to transfer people from worshiping persons or things, to worship God only, declaring that
God will accept nothing less than that from people. And Muslims are obliged to deliver this message to
people- not by fight- but by rational dialogue.
The author's declaration that 'We as Muslims call for the demolition of the walls, and the establishment
of solid bridges between East and West for the acquaintance of the cultures and people'; as was
declared in the Holy Qur'an:
"O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you tribes so that you
may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of
you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Holy Qur’an, 49:13)
In translating this books, I had to do some editing-within the author authorization-for many quotations
were translated to Arabic from other languages, that I had to search them in their original languages,
and to deny those that I could not find!That also apply to the stories of those who embraced Islam. I
must say that I've added some astonishing stories, and denied some that could not find their sources.
And I had to use the last update I found regarding information about religion's growth around the
world.
One last word I'd like to add is that Dr. Dalati is not only a writer, but also a Poet. So you'll find many
poetic images in this book, which stir emotions, but I must say that I've abbreviated many and
emphasized on the opinion. I kept the line and opinions of the author.

"And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was
revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allah . They do not
exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord.
Indeed, Allah is swift in account." (Holy Qur’an, 3:199)
"Say, O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we
will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as
lords instead of Allah . But if they turn away, then say, Bear witness that we are Muslims
[submitting to Him]." (Holy Qur’an, 3:64)
"And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those
who commit injustice among them, and say, We believe in that which has been revealed to us and
revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
(Holy Qur’an, 29:46)
"So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He
wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into
the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe." (Holy Qur’an,6:125)
"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have
approved for you Islam as religion." (Holy Qur’an, 5:3)

'He said: The Lord came from Sinai*, and dawned from Seir* upon us; he shone forth from
Mount Paran*. With him were myriads* of holy ones; at his right, a host of his own.'
(Deuteronomy 33/2)
*"Sinai" was the place set for Moses mission's start, "Seir" for Jesus, and "Paran" for Muhammad, and "myriads
of holy ones" are the number of Muhammad's followers upon Mecca conquest.
'The oracle concerning the desert plain. In the scrub of the desert plain you will lodge, O
caravans of Dedanites. 14 Bring water to the thirsty, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants
of the land of Tema. 15 For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent
bow, and from the stress of battle. 16 For thus the Lord said to me: Within a year*, according to
the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end; 17and the remaining bows
of Kedar’s warriors will be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.' (Isaiah 21/13-17)
*"Within a year" is a sign to “Bader” Battle, the first Muslims victory upon infidelity.”
'Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit
upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it
heard in the street; 3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not
quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. 4 He will not grow faint or be crushed until he has
established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching.' (Isaiah 42/1-4)
'Let the desert and its towns lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the
inhabitants of Sela* sing for joy, let them shout from the tops of the mountains. 12 Let them give
glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastlands. (Isaiah 42/11-12)
*Sela is a mountain in Medina near Mecca.
[This chapter resembles what actually took place when Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina to establish
the first Muslim Territory, People there received him with joyful ode:“The full moon has risen to us, from the
folds of farewell, O You, messenger to us, You came with obeyed command.”]
'The latter splendour of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in

'Then said Jesus: 'With your words I am not consoled, because where ye hope for light darkness
shall come; but my consolation is in the coming of the messenger, who shall destroy every false
opinion of me, and his faith shall spread and shall take hold of the whole world, for so hath God
promised to Abraham our father. And that which giveth me consolation is that his faith shall have
no end, but shall be kept inviolate by God.' (Gospel of Barnabas 97/5)
'Then said the priest: 'How shall the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?'
Jesus answered: 'The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name
when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendour. God said: 'Wait Mohammed;
for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I
make thee a present, insomuch that whoso shall bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse
thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of
salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith
shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.'
Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: 'O God, send us thy messenger: O Mohammed,
come quickly for the salvation of the world!' (Gospel of Barnabas 97)
'Verily I say unto you, that every prophet when he is come hath borne to one nation only the
mark of the mercy of God. And so their words were not extended save to that people to which
they were sent. But the messenger of God, when he shall come, God shall give to him as it were
the seal of his hand, insomuch that he shall carry salvation and mercy to all the nations of the
world that shall receive his doctrine. He shall come with power upon the ungodly, and shall
destroy idolatry, insomuch that he shall make Satan confounded; for so promised God to
Abraham, saying: "Behold, in thy seed I will bless all the tribes of the earth; and as thou hast
broken in pieces the Idols, O Abraham, even so shall thy seed do.' (Gospel of Barnabas 43/15)
'And Moses assured the Israelites that God Himself had revealed this to him while in Mount
Horeb, saying, "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren [the Arabs], like unto
thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall
command Him.' (Deuteronomy 18:15, 18. Acts of the Apostles 22, page222)
(Arabia would have seemed what it had been for times immemorial,
the refuge of small and bickering nomadic tribes.
No Semitic people had founded an empire now for more than a thousand years.
Then suddenly the Bedouin flared out for a brief century of splendor.
They spread their rule and language from Spain to the boundaries of China.
They gave the world a new culture.
They created a religion that is still to this day one of the most vital forces in the world.)

Preface by the author
I won 'Muhammad' and did not lose 'The Christ'
'I will not explain this title, for fear to touch it's glow!
Will not analyze it, for fear to detract it's beauty,
I admit that- inside me – I did try,
and I did appeal to vocabularies, yet couldn't! what a paralyzed pen, and what lack of statement!
But, If unable to reach the sprinkled star in the sky,
can I not refer to a star in it's path?.
For the Lord may bless a single word, to make it comprise a whole scripture. (the author)
A Prophet, any Prophet, is not but the perfect human, whom God created for a purpose to spread the
glow that leads the minds on all times.
Prophecy transfer God's radiance to humanity, to make things right, after impropriety, and withdraw
humans toward the light. In their creation-in both bodies and souls- there are nothing but the goodness
and purity. For God produced them to deliver his 'Single Message' to people.
And it was a long chain of Prophets, that finally needed completeness, which started there at 'Harr'a'
cave, where revelation started to 'The sincere and the honest' [that was Muhammad's nick name
among his people]. And the coming story is a special proof of his sincerity, and of his prophecy:-
It occurred that the sun-eclipse synchronized with the death of Muhammad's own child "Ibrahim". So
his people said: "The sun eclipsed for the death of Ibrahim", While he simply rejected their speech!
And he declared-in his grief-that :((The Sun and Moon are two signs among other signs of God's
creations, and they never Eclipse for the death of anyone)). (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim).
This event shows how great he was, for he did not take advantage of the coincidence to control people's
minds by falsehood.
And he was sincere in delivering the complete Message, never hid a word of the oracle [Holy Qur'an],
otherwise, we wouldn't find such declaration about Virgin Mary [Maryam], as this chapter:
"And [mention] when the angels said, O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and
chosen you above the women of the worlds." (Holy Qur’an, 3/42)
That carried Virgin Mary up so high!....No one will do this for Mary and Jesus but a revelation from
God!
The Prophecy of Mohammed is of sincerity, honesty and faith. A Prophecy that calls for the
understanding, awareness, & guidance with contemplation & consideration.
It has been said that (Thinking leads to Islam and Islam leads to Thinking). ( Al tafkeer faredha
Islamia, By Al aqad)
And that (Free thinking does not threaten Islam, It's the shackles of thinking that does so). (Al
baheth a'n haweyya by Abdul Hakeem bahlaq)
Muhammad was both an Auspicious and a Warner: "I am not except a Warner and a bringer of good
tidings to people who believe." (Holy Qur’an, 7:188)
And no temptation nor compromise will take him from that.
"Say [O Muhammad], I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of
Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is
revealed to me. Say, Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?" (Holy
Qur’an, 6:50)
And the Holy Qur’an is considered as the first miracle of Islam. Then, the Prophet himself with his
character that gathered all the virtues, and how he spread his message, as the second miracle.
(A look at Muhammad's personality allows us to familiarized ourselves with large number of
scenes: There is Mohammad the Prophet, the defender, the governor, the speaker, the righter, the
orphan, Muhammad who freed the slaves, and Muhammad protector of women, Muhammad the
judge, & Muhammad the God's slave. All these wonderful roles made him the best example for
human spirit). (Muhammad Prophet of Islam, by Rama Krishna Rao)
(when the Prophet was sent, Freedom rose, Minds were freed, good wills were motivated, hearts
were gathered, justice was established......until the weak felt that God backed them, and the poor
felt that the treasury was for them, and the lonely felt that all believers were their brothers)
(Wahy Al resala by Hasan Al-zayat)
The inmate of 'Harr'a':
In a towering cave located upon a mountain-on the road between heaven and earth- was the meeting
between Muhammad, coming from the earth, carrying his petitions, and Angel Gabriel coming from the
sky, carrying the Message, and the conversation took place:
Gabriel: Read [Recite].
Muhammad: I am not a reader.
Gabriel: "Read [Recite] in the name of your Lord who created-1-.Created man from a clinging
substance-2-Read [Recite], and your Lord is the most Generous-3-.Who taught by the pen-4-
Taught man that which he knew not-5-.” (Holy Qur’an, 96:1-5)
These Words formed the 'A B C' of human happiness! They were first rays of the lights of the Qur'an,
the establish of a new religion, the God gift of mercy to the world.
And so, this book contains the Muslim's word about Jesus Christ.
It also contains speeches of people who chose Islam, their testimonies about how God opened their
hearts to accept the glow of Islam.
And speeches of people who rejected Islam, people who saw the truth but denied it!
And speeches of thinkers who saw the spiritual collapse in the Western Modern Culture, and states their
shouting to survive.
Finally I conclude my Preface with three cards:
The first card signed by the German poet 'Johann Goethe', contains lines from (Song for Mohammed):
(Behold this rocky spring, bright with joy like a twinkling star; above the clouds its youth was
nourished by good spirits among the cliffs in the bushes,
Below in the valley flowers appear from its footprints, and the meadow derives life from its
breath. But no shaded valley can stop it, no flower, clasping its knees and imploring it with loving
eyes,
and now [the spring] swells more grandly: an entire race lifts the prince up high! And in rolling
triumph it gives names to the lands and cities that grow in its path. Irresistibly it rushes onward,
leaving a wake of flaming-tipped towers and houses of marble - creations of its bounty. )
The second card signed by the Poet of the East 'Muhammad Iqbal, and lines from his poetry 'Selfhood
can demolish the magic of this world; (from Baal-i-Jibreel)
(I will not wonder if I reach even the moon and the stars,
For I have hitched my wagon to the star. of all stars.
First among the wise, last of the Prophets[Muhammad],
Who gave a speck of dust the brightness of the Mount.
He is the first and last in the eyes of love;
He is the Word of God. He is the Word of God.)
And the third card contains lines from my[the author] divan (I love you, my Lord), these lines I wrote,
with a small pen, inked with great love:
(what a confusion, I do not know what to say,
what purity the heart of the herald carried,
what a light to guide the minds,
You are the guidance niche, you are the lamp,
what praise would be enough?
O messenger heralded by messages,
what a prophet with such merits,
You are the light .. You are the purity ..
You are the truth that defeated falsehood).
(Regards, prayers and praise be to Allah .....
Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and God's mercy and blessings ....Peace be upon us and upon the
righteous slaves of Allah.
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah .. And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave
and Messenger.)

CHAPTER-1-
I SLAMIC CONCEPT OF CHRIST
Jesus Christ son of Mary[Mary] 'peace be upon him' was born without a father! What a wondrous
event! But should not be more wondrous than the event of creating the first human-being 'Adam',
without parents at all!
“Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He
said to him, Be, and he was.” (Holy Qur’an 3:59)
What a comparison stated in this verse, of a strange case with what is stranger! That since people didn't
witness the miracle creation of Adam. It was God's wisdom that chose to let them witness Jesus miracle
birth, to witness God's might.
Another intention might be to redeem the spiritual balance of Israel breed-to whom Christ was sentafter
they were withdrawn with materialism. His miracle birth was a declaration of spiritual world.
And Jesus grew-with God's care and inspection- in the womb of his virgin mother. While the universe
continued to exist during that by Gods will and power!
“His command when He intends a thing is that He says to it, Be, and it is.” (Holy Qur’an 36:83)
The story of Jesus birth is recited beautifully, and particularly in Holy Qur’an as this:
“ And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book, the story of Mary, when she withdrew from her
family to a place toward the east -16-. And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We
sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man-17-. She
said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, if you should be fearing of Allah-18-.
He said, I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy-19-. She said,
How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste-20-. He said,
Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and
a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed-21-. So she conceived him, and she
withdrew with him to a remote place-22-. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a
palm tree. She said, Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten-23-. But he
called her from below her, Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream-24-. And
shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates-25-. So eat
and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, Indeed, I have
vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man-26-. Then she
brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, O Mary, you have certainly done a thing
unprecedented-27-. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother
unchaste-28-. So she pointed to him. They said, How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a
child-29-. [Jesus] said, Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and
made me a prophet-30-. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me
prayer and zakah [alms] as long as I remain alive-31-. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and
He has not made me a wretched tyrant-32-. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I
will die and the day I am raised alive-33-. That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about
which they are in dispute-34-. It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He. When He
decrees an affair, He only says to it, Be, and it is-35-” (Holy Qur’an 19:16-35)
And the student of Qur’an senses why it didn't refer to Muhammad's story of birth-since it was a
normal one-that this can be considered a proof of the divinity of Qur’an, otherwise, the human nature
would have-simply- driven Muhammad to care to mention his story more than Jesus!
Besides, the previous verses, mentioned another miracle of Jesus, his speech in cradle-to prove his
mother's innocence-whom Qur’an declared her virginity and purity many times:
“And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our
angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.” (Holy Qur’an 21:91)
Moreover, Muhammad glorified virgin Mary in his speeches:
((The most righteous women are Maryam[Mary], and Khadija*))
*Khadija is his first wife, and first believer. (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)
Yet Qur’an never mentioned Muhammad's mother! Shouldn't it be? Well, Only if it was invented by
him!. But to speaks highly of other Prophet's mother and not mentioning his, this proves that it came
from superior source.
This wonderful picture of Maryam in Qur’an, opposes the one that Jews established for her, for they
have slandered her chastity brutally!
And here we add a gesture to a contradiction that 'Dr. Shawqi Abu Khalil' alluded in his book,
'Tolerance in Islam' about what an irony to publish the 'New Testament' in combination with the 'Old
Testament'! Those two ambivalent!
He suggested that it would be much more convenient to publish the Qur’an, or at least the chapters that
glorify Mary and Jesus [Surat Maryam, and Surat Al Imran], to be combined with the 'New- Testament'
instead!. (Al tasamuh fil Islam).
Moreover, Muslims speaks highly of Jesus, with the word [Peace be upon him], while Maimonides*
cursed Jesus in Talmud! In Chapter 10 of the English Translation, Maimonides' Mishnah Torah curses
Jesus Christ:
It is a mitzvah [religious duty; ARC], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors,
minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of
destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people
away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok,
Baithos, and their students. MAY THE NAME OF THE WICKED ROT.
(p. 184) [caps added] *A medieval Jewish philosopher and one of the greatest Torah
scholars and physicians of the Middle Ages.
That was a truth that needed declaration.
And so, when Christ grew with the care of his mother, He swapped her love and kindness.“And [made
me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.” (Holy Qur’an 19:32)
While In the New Testament, it stated rudeness! 'When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said
to him, ‘They have no wine.’ 4And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what concern is that to you and to
me? ! (Gospel of John 2 /3-4)
Christ, a person and a Prophet:
Prevalent Gospels confirmed humanity of Christ 'peace be upon him': 'Jesus said to him, The foxes
have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.'
(Gospel of Mathew 8/20)
'As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from
God.' (Gospel of John 8/40)
'Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by
miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23
This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge' (Acts of Apostles
2/22)
And Christ was like other human beings, gets hungry and eats [that can not be acts of God]. “The
Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him.
And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to
them the signs; then look how they are deluded” (Holy Qur’an 5:75)
'In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry' (Gospel of Matthew 21/18)
So this great man-Christ-was charismatic, highly ethical, chosen by God to be a messenger to Israel
breed, and to rule them by law of the 'Torah' and guidance of the 'Bible'. He called upon them to have
faith in God alone, and to devote worship to him alone, after they deviated....when some of them
worshiped calf, and some claimed that “Ezra” is son of God! Some killed Prophets or invented slanders
upon them. So Qur'an stated that Christ was sent by God to Israel breed only: “And He will teach him
writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel-48-And [make him] a messenger to the
Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I
design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it
becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the
dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your
houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” (Holy Qur’an 3:48-49)
And in the New Testament: 'He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’
(Gospel of Matthew 15/24)
And the Mission of Jesus was mentioned in Holy Qur’an, as it was mentioned in Gospels.“O People of
the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The
Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was not but a messenger of Allah and His word which He
directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His
messengers” (Holy Qur’an 4:171)
'Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you
sent, Jesus Christ.' (Gospel of John 17/3)
'They replied, The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people' (Gospel of Luke 24/19)
And as with all other Prophets, God supported his Messenger-Christ-with miracles and signs. Jesus
could heal the blind and the leper, and return the dead back to life, with authorization from God.
Christ's call is the Oneness of God:
Christ 'peace be upon him', walked all over the country, calling the Israel breed to the pure monotheism
and to worship God alone, by the verses of the Bible, the wisdom, and the miracles : “while the
Messiah has said, O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." (Holy Qur’an
5:72)
“Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of Allah , nor would the angels near [to Him].“
(Holy Qur’an 4:172)
'Jesus answered him, It is written, Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him’ (Gospel of
Luke 4/8)
'Who can forgive sins but God alone?' (Gospel of Mark 2/7)
And previously we read 'that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you
sent, Jesus Christ.' (Gospel of John 17/3)-which simply can be said as (There's only one God and
Christ is a messenger of his)!
'Arius*'s central assertion was that 'God was immutable, unique, unknowable, only one'. Therefore
the Arians felt no substance of God could in any way be communicated or shared with any other being.
(Gregg, R.C.,ed., Arianism: Historical and Theological Reassessments (1987).*A priest in Alexandria, (c.250-
c.336).
And 'Gustav Lobon' the French historian, wrote: (Nothing indicates that people considered Jesus as
God in the first century of Christianity). ( Gustav Lobon:Life of truths )
While 'Johann Goethe' the German poet, said in his Qur'anic studies:
(Jesus felt pure and in calmness thought of the One God;
Whoever makes himself a God, offends His holy will,
And thus shines what is right, What Mahomet also attained;
Only by the term of the One, had he the whole world overcome)

Jesus announcment of Muhammad's Mission 'peace be upon them':
Gospel was revealed to Jesus by God, “And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of
Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in
which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance
and instruction for the righteous.” (Holy Qur’an 5:46)
And the word 'Gospel' derives from the Old English 'gōd-spell', meaning "good news" or "glad tidings".
It is a 'word-for-word' translation of the Greek word 'εὐαγγέλιον', euangelion (eu-"good", -angelion
"message"). And it was assumed, that the name was driven from the good news of redemption through
the propitiatory offering of Jesus Christ for one's sins.
But we assume that it was so called-by God inspiration-because it was the last divine book that
predicted the imminent mission of the last Prophet, and the descent of the last divine book
(Qur’an).“And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, O children of Israel, indeed I am the
messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good
tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad. But when he came to them with
clear evidences, they said, This is obvious magic." (Holy Qur’an 61:6)
And the source of the word “Qur’an”-also God-inspired -was driven from the Arabic word “qira'ah”
which means “Reading”, in the sense of extrapolation analysis, and understanding. This sense was
emphasized by the first word revealed of (Qur’an) which was “Read”[Recite], and the first tool
mentioned was “pen”.
Frequent predictions about last prophet were mentioned in Gospels, 'now that all the prophets are
come except the messenger of God who shall come after me, because so God willeth, and that I
may prepare his way' (Gospel of Barnabas 36)
And 'I therefore say unto you that the messenger of God is a splendour that shall give gladness to
nearly all that God hath made, for he is adorned with the spirit of understanding and of counsel,
the spirit of wisdom and might, the spirit of fear and love, the spirit of prudence and temperance,
he is adorned with the spirit of charity and mercy, the spirit of justice and piety, the spirit of
gentleness and patience, which he hath received from God three times more than he hath given to
all his creatures' (Gospel of Barnabas 44)
And the good tidings recurred ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near' (Gospel of
Matthew 3/2, 4/17)
'Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near' (Gospel of Luke 10/11)
'Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven' (Gospel of Matthew 6/10)
Those who preached 'the approaching of kingdom of heaven' were John [Yahya] and Jesus 'peace be
upon them', and their disciples. As we read these words of Christ in Matthew's Gospel:
'Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes ?
43Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people
that produces the fruits of the kingdom. 44-The one who falls on this stone will be broken to
pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.’ (Gospel of Matthew 21/42)
So the mission of Christ 'peace be upon him', was the last introduction to the last prophet, who became
the 'corner stone', as in his speech: (The resemblance of me and all prophets, is like a house being
built, with somuch care and beauty, all but one stone was missing, and people would go around
wondering why and when is this stone to be put! So I am that stone, the final prophet.) (Narrated
by Al- Bukhari)
Muhammad Algazali wrote: (The heavenly laws [religions] were like steps mounting and blocks
accumulated in the structure of beliefs, morality and community policy. The task of the last block
was the completion of the construction, and filling what was left in gaps, it was the cornerstone
that holds elements of construction. It is a wise policy drived by divine providence to raise human
breed gradualy, there is no contradiction or conflict, but synergy and hugging, consistency and
stability, then growth and completeness, and flourishing ) (Al tasub wal tasamuh bainel maseeheya wal
Islam, by Muhammad Algazali)
And so, the prophecy's structure was completed with Muhammad's mission, there's nothing more to be
added afterward, “And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming
that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it.” (Holy Qur’an 5:48)
“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have
approved for you Islam as religion.” (Holy Qur’an 5:3)
The end of Christ 'peace be upon him', on earth:
The end of Christ on earth was not less wonderous than his birth! First the jews slandered his mother's
chastity, then they rejected his mission! Then their hatred flooded, and led them to make a decision of
crucifing him! but God saved him and lifted him. “And [We cursed them] for their disbelief and
their saying against Mary great slander-156- And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the
Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." 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” (Holy Qur’an 4:156-157)
In Barnabas Gospels 'Judas entered impetuously before all into the chamber whence Jesus had
been taken up. And the disciples were sleeping. Whereupon the wonderful God acted
wonderfully, insomuch that Judas was so changed in speech and in face to be like Jesus that we
believed him to be Jesus. And he, having awakened us, was seeking where the Master was.
Whereupon we marvelled, and answered: 'Thou, Lord, art our master; hast thou now forgotten
us?' And he, smiling, said: 'Now are ye foolish, that know not me to be Judas Iscariot!' And as he
was saying this the soldiery entered, and laid their hands upon Judas, because he was in every
way like to Jesus' (Gospel of Barnabas 216)
And nowadays, precisely on Nov.11th 1964, the Church have exculpate the Jews from Christ blood,
would they do if were not really convinced that Christ was not the crucified one? And here we exclaim
with Dr. Sami Asasa: (Need it two thousand years, to be corrected?) (Is the Talmudic Judaism a
religion? By Sami Asasa)
As the Qur’an, particularly, mentioned Jesus birth, also mentioned what his attitude will be, on the
resurrection day, when the witnesses arise. Jesus-among his brothers the Prophets-in front of the Lord,
on the account, “ And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to
the people, Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ? He will say, Exalted are You! It was
not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You
know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is
Knower of the unseen-116-I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah ,
my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when
You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.-117-If
You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is
You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.-118-Allah will say, "This is the Day when the truthful
will benefit from their truthfulness." For them are gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers
flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is
the great attainment.” (Holy Qur’an 5:116-119)
It will be such a huge question, in a position to be feared, and what a reply of great propriety of Christ
with The Lord,“If I had said it, You would have known it “, He will not just say "No, I didn't!" such
disciplinary with God.
Indeed the history becomes blank story if devoided of the Prophets, and the functioning of the
prophets, 'peace be upon them'.
