1. Prophet Isa
(Jesus) PBUH
Radio 01/10/2013 part 1
Allah , God the
creator of the heavens
, created this vast
universe and it`s
dwellers for one
purpose , and that
purpose is more noble
2. and more lofty than
most people imagine,
people in their nature
tend to think that they
were put on this earth
so that they can live
life , amass wealth ,
eat , drink and enjoy
pleasures, and when it
is time to go, well it is
3. time to go, at least we
would have lived
large and enjoyed
every moment of it,
either neglecting or
being oblivious to the
reason for their
creation.
But the fact of the
matter is , we were
4. put on this earth, to
worship our creator
and to be tested in
that worship , are we
worthy of the real life
that we were created
for or are we not.
I mean let`s think
about it just using
logic, that is make
5. sense that this
universe , and this
earth it is magnitude
beauty and bounties
was made to host our
species , and for us
just to come to it and
live a maximum of 60
to a hundred years
and then be gone like
6. we never existed , this
does not make sense,
or for transgressors
and oppressors , the
ones that feed of the
hardship of others to
live , do their evil
deeds and die without
accountability , or for
the righteous to live a
7. clean life and to be a
mercy for others
around them and live
and die without being
rewarded for the good
that they have done, if
this was the case , this
life would be in vain.
قال تعالى :" أ َفحسبتم أَنما خلقناكم عبثا وأ َنكم إ ِلينا ل ترجعون * فتعالى الله المَلك الحق ل إ ِله إ ِل هو
َ ُ ّ َ َ َ ّ َ ْ ُ ِ ْ ُ ّ َ َ ََ َ ُ َ ْ ُ َ ََْ ْ ُ ّ َ ًََ ْ ُ َْ ََ َ ّ ْ ُِْ َ َ
ِ ِ َ ْ ِ ْ َ ْ ّ
رَب العرش الكريم "
Allah said:" Did you
8. then think that We had
created you in jest, and
that you would not be
brought back to Us (for
account)? * Therefore
exalted be Allah, the real
King, there is no Diety
but He, the Lord of the
Throne of Honor!" (Al
Muminoon 23-115/116)
ّ قال ا تعالى: وما خلقت الجن والنس إ ِل ليعبدون * ما أ ُريد منهم من رزق وما أ ُريد أن يطعمون * إ ِن
ِ ُ ِ ْ ُ َ ُ ِ َ َ ٍ ْ ّ ّ ُ ِْ ُ ِ َ ِ ُ ُْ َِ ّ َ ِْ َ ّ ِ ْ ُ ْ ََ َ َ
ُ َِ ْ ِ ّ ُ ْ ُ ُ ّ ّ َ ُ َ ّ
الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين "
9. Allah said in his glorious
book: " I have only
created Jinn and men,
that they may worship
Me * No Sustenance do I
require of them, nor do I
require that they should
feed Me * For Allah is
the one Who gives (all)
Sustenance, Lord of
Power, Steadfast (for
ever)" . (Adaariyaat 51-
10. 56/57)
Translation
And so for that
worship to take
place , the almighty
sent many messengers
to men kind, he hand
picked a little over
120 thousand
prophets and
11. messengers to be a
mercy for men kind
first to reveal to them
that they have a lord
and a creator and that
he requires to be
worshiped alone with
no partners, and to
teach the people what
is the correct and
12. acceptable worship of
Allah--their Creator ,
the Creator of the
heavens and the earth.
All the prophets of
Allah, the first of
whom was Adam and
the last of whom is
Muhammad, came
with one Religion--
13. Islam, one creed--the
belief in the Oneness
of Allah, they all
called their people to
monotheism.
They all taught that
Allah has the perfect
names and the perfect
attributes and that He
does not resemble any
14. of His creations. They
taught what Allah
ordered us to perform
what he ordered us to
refrain from in this
life, meaning the
orders and the
prohibitions.
They taught there is
the Judgment Day in
15. which each one of us
will be held
accountable for his
deeds , and
questioned as to
whether or not he
fulfilled his
obligations in this
life.
None of them taught
16. their people what
contradicts the belief
in the Oneness of
Allah. Each one of
them ordered their
followers to believe in
the rest of the
prophets and
.messengers

في الحديث الصحيح الذي رواه البخاري و مسلم من حديث أبي هريرة قال "أنا أولى الناس بعيسى بن

Prophet
Mohammed S L 3
W S said" I am
more worthy of
3issa in this life and
the hereafter , they
said: why oh
18. prophet of Allah, he
said the prophets
are brothers , their
mothers are many
but their creed is the
same".
Their Religion is one
although their
Shari^ah (rules of the
Religion) can be
19. different .
This means that Allah
with his wisdom gave
all the prophets and
messengers the same
creed of monotheism ,
but the legislation for
each people can be
different depending
on their era ,
20. geographic location
and their needs.
So as you have
guessed it we are here
to honor an other
noble and honorable
man, one of the best
men that walked on
the earth , one of the
five best messengers
21. of Allah, called Ulul-
^Azm, those with the
highest status, the
ones that were tested
the most and the ones
who were the most
patient, this man will
be the savior of men
kind from their
Biggest test and
22. biggest calamity , the
trial and tribulation
that will take place
before the end of the
world , the big test of
the antichrist , we are
talking about none
other the the prophet
and messenger of
Allah Isa Bnu Mariam
23. (jesus the son of
Mary) .
Translation
Before we start
giving any details
about Prophet ^Isa
PBUH ,we want our
dear listeners to know
that , the muslims
believe in his
24. prophethood, we
believe that as all the
prophets he was
truthful in everything
that he conveyed from
Allah , and although
today we follow the
Shari^ah and the way
of Prophet
Muhammad ,
25. Muslims respect,
love, and believe in
^Isa and in his
prophethood and all
the good that he stood
for, we also would
like our dear listeners
to understand that the
reason for this show is
to give the islamic
26. perspective about his
life and his teaching,
and to honor him, and
not to contradict
,debate nor insult or
offend anyone,
especially that,
respecting other
peoples` religion is
duty for every muslim
27. as it was taught to us
by the final
messenger
Mohammed PBUH .
We first start by
talking about the
conditions of the
Israelites right after
prophet Musa (moses)
PBUH
28. The Israelites had
settled in the blessed
land, Palestine. They
ruled for a long time.
They had a vast
kingdom. Allah, the
Almighty chose many
prophets from among
them. They followed
the Holy Book, the
29. Torah. The Prophet
Dawood (PBUH) and
his son Prophet
Sulaiman (peace be
upon him) won great
popularity as kings
and commanded high
respect.
Their followers
believed in God and
30. led noble lives. But
soon after prophet
Sulaiman PBUH
died , his kingdom
split apart and the
golden age of the
Israelites was over,
and it is always the
case when the people
that have the truth ,
31. the people that have
the guidance from
almighty God , the
people that follow a
true prophet of God,
when his leadership
and guidance is gone ,
well , so are his
teachings and the
weak of faith and the
32. hypocrite quickly start
appearing , leading
the others , astray ,
leading the others
away from the path of
Allah, and it has
always been the case
with the Israelites ,
whenever they went
astray, Allah sent
33. another prophet or
messenger their way
to bring them back to
the straight path, the
path of true
monotheism ,
especially that people
not only get away
from the worship of
Allah , but they even
34. start altering and
changing the holy
scriptures according
to their own desires,
and that becomes
extremely dangerous ,
because if you alter
the scriptures you
destroy the lives of
millions that come
35. after you , millions
that grow up
believing
wholeheartedly that
what you are offering
is the absolute truth
while it was just a
fabrication a
dangerous lie , that
changes the hereafter
36. of a lot of people.
Translation
As the time passed,
they began to pay less
attention to the
teachings of God.
They forgot the
Divine favors. They
made alterations in
the Holy Book
37. according to their
own desires. Most of
the Israelites adopted
indecent ways of life
and committed major
sins.
At that time the most
powerful kingdom in
the world was the
kingdom of Romans.
38. They were polytheists
and pagans. They did
not worship one God
and prayed to many
idols made of stone.
The Roman society
was divided into two
factions. The ruling
class was very strong
and arrogant whereas
39. the ordinary people
lived in misery. They
were ill-treated as
slaves, and women
were treated very
poorly and had no
rights. The holy land,
Palestine, was ruled
by Herod, a cruel
king, the people
40. disliked him, they
were scared of him.
They could not utter a
word of complaint
against him lest they
should be put to
sword, and the
Israelites had their
own society within
the rule of the romans
41. a the time.
Background
Who was he?
He was ^Isa, the son
of Maryam, the
daughter of ^Imran,
from the offspring of
Israel otherwise know
as the prophet of
Allah Ya`qoob
43. Zakariyya was a
prophet of Allah
revealed to convey to
the people to follow
the Shari^ah revealed
to Prophet Musa. In
the Qur'an there is a
chapter named
Maryam referring to
Maryam (Mary), the
44. mother of ^Isa. This
chapter and others
talks about Maryam:
her birth, her story,
and the birth of
Prophet ^Isa, and
other things.
On this chapter Allah
starts by talking about
another amazing
45. miracle that took
place before the
miracle birth of
prophet Jesus PBUH
and it is mentioned in
-91( Surah Mariam
.)51/1
قال ا تعالى:كهيعص* ذكر رحمة ربك عبده زكريا * إ ِذ نادى ربّه نداء خفيا * قال رب إ ِني وهن العظْمُ

46. Allah said:" Kaf ,
Ha, Ya ,`in ,Sad *
(This is) a mention of
the mercy of the
Lord to his servant
Zakariya * Behold!
he called on his Lord
in secret, * Praying:
my Lord! frale
indeed are my bones,
47. and the hair of my
head does glisten
with grey: but never
am I unblest, O my
Lord, in my prayer to
you! * Now I fear
(what) my relatives
(and colleagues)
(will do) after me:
but my wife is
48. barren: so give me an
heir as from thyself,
* (One that) will
(truly) represent me,
and represent the
posterity of Jacob;
and make him, O my
Lord! One with
whom thou art well
pleased! * (His
49. prayer was
answered): O
Zakariya! we give
thee good news of a
son: His name shall
be Yahya: on none by
that name have we
conferred distinction
before * He said: O
my Lord! how shall I
50. have a son, when my
wife is barren And I
have grown quite
decrepit From old
age? * He said: so (it
will be): thy Lord
saith, that is easy for
me: I did indeed
create thee before,
When thou hadst
51. been nothing! *
(Zakariya) said: O
my Lord! give me a
Sign, thy Sign, was
the answer, shall
speck to no man for
three nights,
although thou art not
dumb. * So Zakariya
came out To his
52. people from his
chamber: He told
them by signs to
celebrate God's
praises In the
morning And in the
evening * (To his son
came the command):
O Yahya! take hold
Of the Book with
53. might: and We gave
him wisdom Even as
a youth * and pity
(for all creatures) as
from us, and purity:
He was devout * and
kind to his parents,
And he was not
overbearing or
rebellious * so peace
54. on him The day he
was born, the day
that he dies, and the
day that he will be
raised up to life
(again)! " Mariam
(19-1/15)
Translation
This tremendous
55. miracle that Allah is
mentioning in the
Ayat that we recited is
the one of prophet
Zakaria, that reached
old age , and his wife
was always barren
(sterile) , but he still
was hoping for a child
, so he made
56. supplication to Allah
to give him an
offspring , and by
miracle , his wife that
was sterile all her life
and had attained old
age, an age that
makes it impossible to
conceive , but with
the miracle from
57. Allah that answers the
prayers of one of his
prophets , the miracle
birth of Yahyaa
( otherwise know in
the biblical world as
John) .
This story was
mentioned in the
Quran more than
58. :once
َ َ َ َ َ ََ ََّ َ َّ َ ِ َُ ٍ َ َ ٍ ََ ََ َ ََ ً َ ًَ َ َ َّ َ َ َ ِّ ُّ َ َ َ َ ََْ َ َ َ ِّ ْ
قال تعالى: فتقبلها ربها بقبول حسن و أنبتها نباتا حسنا وكفلها زكريا كلما دخل عليها زكريا المِحْراب وجد
عندها رزقا قال يا مريم أَنى لك هـذا قالت هو من عند الله إن الله يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب * هنالك
َُ ِ َ َ َ َ َ َْ ُ ّ َ ِ َ َ َ َ ْ ُ َ ِ ْ ِ ِ ّ ِ ّ ّ َ َ ْ ُ ُ َ َ َ ِ َْ ِ ِ َ ٍ ِ َ َ ِ ْ
دعا زكريا ربه قال رب هب لي من لدنك ذرية طيبة إِنك سميع الدعاء * فنادته الملئكة وهو قائمٌ يصلي

Allah said :" So her
Lord accepted her
with good acceptance
and caused her to
grow in a good
manner and put her in
59. the care of Zechariah.
Every time Zechariah
entered upon her in
the prayer chamber,
he found with her
provision. He said, "O
Mary, from where is
this [coming] to you?"
She said, "It is from
Allah . Indeed, Allah
60. provides for whom
He wills without
account. * So the
angels called him
while he was standing
in prayer in the
chamber, "Indeed,
Allah gives you good
tidings of John,
confirming a word
61. from Allah and [who
will be] honorable,
abstaining [from
women], and a
prophet from among
the righteous * He
said, "My Lord, how
will I have a boy
when I have reached
old age and my wife
62. is barren?" The angel
said, "Such is Allah ;
He does what He
wills * "He said, "My
Lord, make for me a
sign." He Said, "Your
sign is that you will
not [be able to] speak
to the people for three
days except by
63. gesture. And
remember your Lord
much and exalt [Him
with praise] in the
evening and the
morning." ( Ali Imran
3-37/41)
Allah also mentioned
this story briefly in
Surat Al Anbiaa
سورة النبياء الية 98, قال تعالى: " وزكريا إِذ نادى ربه رب ل تَذرني فردا وأ َنت خير الوارثينَ * فاستجبنا
ََْ َْ َ ِِ َ ْ ُ َْ َ ْ َ ً ْ َ ِْ َ َ ّ َ ُ َّ َ َ ْ ِّ َ َ َ
64. له ووهبنا له يحيى وأ َصلحنا له زوجه إنهم كانوا يسارعون في الخَيرات ويدعوننا رغبا ورهبا وكانوا لنا
ََ ُ َ َ ًَ َ َ ًَ َ ََ ُ ْ ََ ِ َ ْ ْ ِ َ ُ ِ َ ُ ُ َ ْ ُ ِّ ُ َ ْ َ ُ َ َْ َْ َ َْ َ ُ َ ََْ َ َ ُ َ
َ ِ ِ َ
خاشعين "
Allah said : " And
[mention] Zechariah,
when he called to his
Lord, "My Lord, do
not leave me alone
[with no heir], while
you are the best of
inheritors. * So We
responded to him, and
65. We gave to him John,
and amended for him
his wife. Indeed, they
used to hasten to good
deeds and supplicate
Us in hope and fear,
and they were to Us
humbly submissive."
(21 -89/90)
Allah also mentioned
66. Zakariah in his list of
Honored prophets:
َ ِ ِ ّ
النعام الية 58 قال تعالى: " وزكريا ويحيى وعيسى وإِلياس كل من الصالحين
َ ّ ّ ُ َ َْ َ َ ِ َ َْ ََ ِّ َ َ َ "
Allah said:"And
Zechariah and John
and Jesus and Elias -
and all were of the
righteous. " (Al
An`aam 6-85)
Translation
67. Why did Allah
mention the story of
Zakaria, in the
beginning of a chapter
about Mary and
Jesus?, it is to show
us the power of Allah,
his ability to make
anything happen and
that others were
68. created and were born
miraculously , and
that does not make
them divine , and also
to two stories are
related because
yahyaa and Isa PBUT
are related by blood.
You see , the mother
of Mariam, a
69. righteous woman by
the name Hannah was
the sister of the wife
of prophet Zakaria,
and she was married
to a righteous man by
the name of Imran,
this man was also
mentioned and
honored in the Quran,
70. he was the father of
Mariam and the
grandfather of prophet
Isa Jesus PBUH .
This righteous family
was honored by Allah
as one of the best
families of man kind:
ٍ ْ َ ِ َ ُ ْ َ ً ّّ ُ َ ِ َ َ ْ
قال تعالى: "إ ِن الله اصطفى آدم ونوحا وآل إ ِبراهيم وآل عمرانَ على العالمين * ذرية بعضها من بعض
ََ َ ْ ِ َ َ َ ِ َ ْ َ َ ً َُ َ َ َ َ ْ َ ّ ّ
ٌ َِ ٌ ِ َ ُ ّ َ
والله سميع عليم "
71. Allah said:" Indeed,
Allah chose Adam
and Noah and the
family of Abraham
and the family of
'Imran over the rest of
the world *
Descendants, some of
them from others.
And Allah is Hearing
72. and Knowing. " (3-
33/34)
One day Maryam's
mother saw a bird
feeding its young and
she longed for a baby
herself. She made a
supplication to Allah
to bless her with a
child and vowed that
73. she would make him a
servant for the Holy
,House in Jerusalem
,dedicated for worship
because she thought
the child would be
. male
Allah talked about
:this in the Quran
قال تعالى:إ ِذ قالت امرأ َة عمران رب إ ِني نذرت لك ما في بطني محررا فتقبل مني إ ِنك أنت السميع
ّ ِ ُ ّ َ َ َ ُ َ ّ ً ََ َّ ْ ِّ ْ َ َ ِ ْ َ ُ ِ ْ َ َ َ ّ ّ َ َ ْ ُ َ َ َ ِ َ ِْ
العليم * فلما وضعتها قالت رب إ ِني وضعتها أنثى والله أ َعلم بما وضعت وليس الذكر كالنثى وَإ ِني سَمّيْتها
ُ َ ّ َ ّ ُ َْ ُ ِ َ َ َ َ ْ ََْ َ ّ َ ُ َ ُ َ َ َ ُْ َ ُ َ ْ َِ ُ ََ ّ َ َ َْ َ َ َ ْ َ ّ ّ
74. مريم وإ ِني أ ُعيذها بك وذريتها من الشيطان الرجيم
ِ ِ ّ ِ َ ّْ َ ِ َ َّّ ُ َ َ ِ َ ُ ِ ّ ِ َ َْ َ "
Allah said:" [Mention,
O Muhammad], when
the wife of 'Imran
said, "My Lord,
indeed I have pledged
to You what is in my
womb, consecrated
[for Your service], so
accept this from me.
75. Indeed, You are the
Hearing, the Knowing
* But when she
delivered her, she
said, "My Lord, I
have delivered a
female." And Allah
was most knowing of
what she delivered,
"And the male is not
76. like the female. And I
have named her Mary,
and I seek refuge for
her in You and [for]
her descendants from
Satan, the expelled
[from the mercy of
Allah ]." (3-35/36)
Maryam's mother
conceived and
77. delivered Maryam
when she was an old
woman, at an age
when women usually
can no longer have
babies. . Allah
answered her
supplication and
Maryam's mother
conceived and
78. delivered a baby girl.
She named her
"Maryam" and asked
Allah to protect her
and her offspring
from evil.
Since Maryam's
father had died,
Prophet Zakariyya
79. (who was the husband
of Maryam's sister)
became Maryam's
guardian. From him,
Maryam learned the
Religion. She grew up
as a righteous, pure,
and pious Muslim
woman worshipping
Allah and
80. endeavoring greatly in
performing obedience
to Him. Before she
turned fourteen (14)
years old, Maryam
was a Siddiqa (a very
pious woman with a
special status). She
became the best of the
women in the world
81. as it is mentioned in
the Qur'an that :
ُقال تعالى: وإ ِذ قالت المل َِئكة يا مريم إ ِن الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمينَ * يا مريم
َْ َ َ ِ َ َ ْ َ ِ ََ ِ َ َ ْ َ ِ َ ّ َ َ ِ َ َ ْ َ ّ ّ ُ َْ َ َ ُ َ َ ْ ِ َ َ ْ َ
َ ِ ِ ّ َ َ
اقنتي لربك واسجدي واركعي مع الراكعين
ِ َ ْ َ ِ ُ ْ َ ِ َّ ِ ُِْ "
Allah said:" And
[mention] when the
angels said, "O Mary,
indeed Allah has
chosen you and
purified you and
82. chosen you above the
women of the worlds
* O Mary, be
devoutly obedient to
your Lord and
prostrate and bow
with those who bow
[in prayer]." (Al
^Imran, 42-43).
Translation
83. Birth Of Prophet Isa
(PBUH)
Mariam secluded
herself one day
towards the east to
worship Allah, all of a
sudden a man
appeared to her , it
was the angel Gabriel
(jibril) , whom Allah
84. had sent to her in the
shape of a man.
Thinking he was a
human who might
harm her, she asked
refuge with Allah
from him.
We have to clarify
something here that
would explain her
85. behavior , and that is
the fact that righteous
women like Mary did
not mingle with men
at all , that is why the
minute she saw a man
in front of her she was
startled she sought
refuge in Allah from
that situation,
86. similarly Muslim
women cover
themselves the way
mary did and they do
not mingle with men
at all .
Jibril told Mary, "I
am the Messenger of
your Lord to you. I
was sent to give you a
87. pious child who is
pure from sins."
Maryam told him,
"How would I have a
son? I have no
husband, and I am not
an adulterer or a
fornicator." Jibril told
her, "Creating a son
without a father is an
88. easy matter to Allah.
Allah will make him a
sign for the people
and an indication of
the Power of Allah.
He will send him as a
mercy from Him and
an endowment to the
one who follows him
and believes in him.
89. Creating him is a
matter Allah willed
and destined, so it
will not be blocked or
".changed
And these are the
Ayat from the Quran
that revealed this to
:us
قال تعالى: " واذكر في الكتاب مريم إ ِذ انتبذت من أ َهلها مكانا شرقيا * فاتخذت من دونهم حجابا فأرسلنا

chastity, so We blew
into her [garment]
through Our angel
[Gabriel], and We

a sign for the worlds.
98. " (Al Anbiyaa 21-91)
Translation
So the angel Jibril
blew the soul of ^Isa
into Maryam and
^Isa's soul entered
into her womb.
Maryam became
pregnant with ^Isa,
99. peace be upon him.
When the signs of
pregnancy became
apparent on her, her
cousin, Yusuf the
Carpenter, was
disturbed and did not
know how to interpret
that matter. If he
wanted to accuse her
100. he would remember
how pious she was. If
he wanted to declare
her innocence, he
would see the signs of
pregnancy. So he
decided to open the
subject with her. He
asked her, "Tell me,
would plants grow
101. without seeds? Would
trees grow without
rainfall? Would there
be a child without a
male?" To all these
questions Maryam
said "Yes." Then she
asked him, "Did you
not know Allah made
the plants emerge
102. without seeds the day
He created them? Did
you not know Allah
created the trees the
first time without
rain? Did you not
know Allah created
Adam and Hawwa'
(Eve) without a father
or a mother?" Yusuf
103. knew all these things
and when she
responded in this way,
he felt assured of her
innocence and that
this was something
special given to her
by Allah.
When the signs of her
104. pregnancy became
clear, Maryam went
away from her people.
The pain of labor led
her to the trunk of a
dead palm tree. Out of
her shyness from the
people, and fearing
they would accuse her
of having done
105. something ugly, she
wished she was dead
and not a trace of her
could be found.
Jibril called to her,
comforting her. He
told her Allah made a
small river run under
her from which she
could drink, and
106. should she shake the
trunk of the palm tree
next to her, so that
green and moist dates
would fall down from
which she could eat
and be nourished.
(this by the way is a
clear proof that this
blessed child was
107. born in the summer
time, since the dates
are only out in the
summer.
Jibril told her when
she faces her people
with her son to tell
anyone who questions
her about him that she
had made a vow not
109. * 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.*But he
(Jibril) called her
from below her, "Do
110. not grieve; your Lord
has provided beneath
you a stream.*And
shake toward you the
trunk of the palm tree;
it will drop upon you
ripe, fresh dates* So
eat and drink and be
contented. And if you
see from among men
111. anyone, say, 'Indeed, I
have vowed to the
Most Merciful
abstention, so I will
not speak today to
[any] man.' " (19-
22/26)
That day, Maryam
gave birth to her son,
^Isa, peace be upon
112. him, a while later she
carried him back to
her people, and as she
expected, They
immediately accused
her of having
fornicated. In
response, Maryam
pointed to her son,
meaning to tell them
113. to talk to him. They
were angered by this
and thought she was
mocking them by
asking them to speak
with a baby in the
cradle. At this, Allah
made ^Isa speak.
Allah revealed this in
the Quran:
َ قال تعالى:" فأتت به قومها تحمله قالوا يا مريم لقد جئت شيئا فَريا * يا أ ُخت هارون ما كان أ َبوك امرأ
َ ْ ِ ُ َ َ َ َ ُ َ َ ْ َ ِّ ًَْ ِ ِْ ْ َ َ ُ َْ َ َ ُ َ ُ ُِ ْ َ َ َ ْ َ ِ ِ ْ َََ
114. سوء وما كانت أ ُمك بغيا * فأشارت إ ِليه قالوا كيف نكلم من كان في المهد صبيا * قال إ ِني عبد الله آتاني
َْ ُ ّ ِ َ ِ َ َ َ ّ ْ َ ْ ِ َِّ ََ َ َ ْ َْ ِ َ ُ َْ َ ُ َّ ُ َ َ َ ِ َ ْ ٍ َ َ َ َ ْ ّ ِ َ ِّ
الكتاب وجعلني نبيا * وجعلني مباركا أ َين ما كنت وأ َوصاني بالصلة والزكاة ما دمت حيا * وبرا بوالدتي
ََ ّ ِ َ ِ َِ َُ َ ً ْ َ َ ُ ُ َ ْ َ ِ ِ ّ َ ِ َ ّ َ ِ َ ُ ْ ُ َّ َ َ ََِ ْ َِ َ َ َ ََِ َِّ
ولم يجعلني جبارا شقيا * والسلم علي يوم ولدت ويوم أ َموت ويوم أ ُبعث حيا
َ ّ َ ُ ََ ّ َ ْ َ ُِ ّ ََ ْ َ ُ ُ ََ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َّ َّ ً َ ِّ ََ ْ َ ْ َِْ "
Allah said:" Then
she brought him to
her people, carrying
him. They said, "O
Mary, you have
certainly done a thing
unprecedented. * O
sister of Aaron, your
father was not a man
115. of evil, nor was your
mother unchaste."*
So she pointed to him.
They said, "How can
we speak to one who
is in the cradle a
child?"*[Jesus] said,
"Indeed, I am the
servant of Allah . He
has given me the
116. Scripture and made
me a prophet* And
He has made me
blessed wherever I am
and has enjoined upon
me prayer and zakah
as long as I remain
alive*And [made me]
dutiful to my mother,
and He has not made
117. me a wretched tyrant
* And peace is on me
the day I was born
and the day I will die
and the day I am
raised alive." (19-
27/31)
Translation
After Baby ^Isa spoke
these words in the
118. cradle to defend his
mother and to
proclaim that he was
to one of the
messengers of Allah,
he did not speak again
until he became at an
age when children
normally begin to
speak. ^Isa's speaking
119. from the cradle was a
preparation and a sign
of his creed and
coming prophethood,
when he would call
the people to believe
in Allah and to
worship him alone
with no partners, true
monotheism, and he
120. also proclaimed his
servitude to Allah ,
God the creator of the
heavens and the earth
since the first words
he spoke were, "I am
a servant of Allah."
The birth of Prophet
Isa (Peace Be Upon
Him) became a talk of
121. the town. Herod, the
king, got wind of that
miracle, He became
worried about his
throne, as it is the
case of all the tyrants
they do not like
change, they do like
things that are
unusual or
122. unpredictable , he was
afraid that his subject
would undermined his
authority or neglect
his orders.
This misguided tyrant
issued orders to kill
all the babies under
the age of two years,
Allah guided Maryam
123. to migrate to Egypt to
seek protection for
her baby, she reached
Egypt after a tough
journey.
They stayed away
from home for twelve
years, meanwhile
Prophet Isa (PBUH)
was growing up under
124. the care of his lord
and creator and he
was given the gift of
knowledge and
wisdom.
When the ruthless
king Herod finally
Died taking his place
with the other tyrants
in the trash can of
125. history, it was such a
relief for the people.
It was collected by
Bukhari that A janaazah
passed by and the
prophet SL3WS made
the following remark:
“Mustareehun oh
Mustaraahun minhu
The Sahaaba were
mystified by these
126. cryptic words, so they
asked the messenger of
Allah SL3WS: “O
Prophet of Allah! What
do these terms mean?”
He replied:
“Mustareeh is the mumin
(the righteous believer)
servant who achieves
relief and comfort from
the hardships and
difficulties of this world.
127. And Mustaraahun minhu
is the Faajir (rebellious
sinner) from whom
people, animals, trees
and the entire town are
relieved .”
So after hearing the
good news of the
tyrant dying , Maryam
picked up her
belongings and
128. returned to the holy
land, to a city of an-
Nasirah.
Translation
EARLY LIFE OF
PROPHET
^ISA(Jesus)
During their stay in
Egypt ^Isa, peace be
upon him, studied the
129. Torah and memorized
it. He spoke Syriac,
the language of the
people of Palestine at
that time,he also
spoke Aramaic,
hebrew the languages
of the revelations at
that time , He was a
pious worshipper of
130. Allah, following the
rules of the Torah
revealed to Prophet
Musa.
َ ِ ِ َ َ َ ْ ّ َ َ َ ْ ِ ْ َ َ َِ ْ ُ ُ َّ َُ
قال تعالى:" ويعلمه الكتاب والحكمة والتوراة والنجيل "
Allah said:" And God
will teach him the
book and wisdom, the
law and the gospel *
And (appoint him) an
131. messenger to the
children of Israel "
(3-48/49)
THE
REVELATION OF
PROPHETHOOD
Allah sent the
Revelation of
Prophethood to ^Isa
when he was thirty
132. years old. Allah
revealed to him new
laws which abrogated
some of the laws
revealed to Prophet
Musa. Prophet, and
this is by the way the
difference between a
prophet and a
messenger, the
133. prophet always comes
to follow the law
revealed to the
messenger that came
before him, such as
prophet Zakaria that
we saw earlier, he
came to follow and
implement the law of
prophet Musa PBUH.
134. So Prophet ^Isa
PBUH conveyed the
revelation to the
people and called
them to believe in his
message.
Prophet ^Isa, like all
the prophets of Allah,
performed miracles.
135. Allah sent all the
prophets with
miracles as a proof to
their prophethood, so
the people would
witness, know about
them, and believe in
their prophethood.
Many of Prophet
^Isa's miracles were
136. in curing illnesses, to
be a stronger proof of
his truthfulness, since
the people at his time
were famous for
being knowledgeable
in the field of
medicine. Prophet
^Isa cured those with
seemingly incurable
137. illnesses, prophet ^Isa
cured a man inflicted
with leprosy, he put
his honorable hand on
the face of a man who
was born blind and
cured his sight, he
even brought a man
back from the dead
with the will and the
138. power of Allah.
Prophet ^Isa had
other kinds of
miracles also. He
formed the shape of a
bird from clay and
then they would fly
away .
Allah talked about all
of this in the Quran in
139. :the following verses
قال تعالى:"ورسول ً إ ِلى بني إ ِسرائيل أ َني قد جئتكم بآية من ربكم أ َني أ َخلق لكم من الطين كهيئة الطّير
ْ ِ ّ ِ َ ََْ ِ ُْ ُ َ ُ ّ َ َ ْ ُِْ ُ ِ َ ٍ ّ ّّ ُ ْ ّ ْ َ ِ َ ّ َ َِ َ َ ُ
فأنفخ فيه فيكون طيرا بإذن الله وأ ُبرىء الكمه وال َْبرص وأ ُحيي الموتى بإذن الله وأ ُنبئكم بما تأكلون وما
ْ َ َْ ِِ ْ ِ ّ ِ َ َُّ ُ ِ َ َْ ُُ َ َ َ َ َ َ ِْ ْ َ َ ََ ُ ُ ِ ِ ََ ُ ُ َْ ً ِِ ْ ِ ّ ِ َ ْ ِ ُ
َِ َ َ ً ّ ُ ْ ِ ُ ُ ّ ْ ِِ َ
تدخرون في بيوتكم إ ِن في ذلك لية لكم إن كنتم مؤمنين
َ ّ ِ ُ َ ِ ُُ ِ ُ ْ ّ ِ "
Allah said:" And
[make him] a
messenger to the
,Children of Israel
,][who will say
'Indeed I have come
to you with a sign
140. 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
141. 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.
"( 3-49)
unfortunately , so
142. many of the Israelites
disbelieved in him
and rejected his
message after they
saw all these
miracles , they
accused him of being
a sorcerer as Allah
mentioned in Surat Al
Maidah 5-110:
ُقال تعالى:" إ ِذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم اذكر نعمتي عليك وعَلى والدتك إ ِذ أ َيدتك بروح القدس تكلم
َّ ُ ِ ُ ُ ْ ِ ُ ِ َ ّ ّ ْ َ َِ ِ َ َ َ َ ََْ َِ ْ ِ ْ ُ ْ َ َْ َ َ ْ ِ َ ُ ّ َ َ ْ
144. and you spoke to the
people in the cradle
and in maturity; and
[remember] when I
taught you writing
and wisdom and the
Torah and the Gospel;
and when you
designed from clay
[what was] like the
145. form of a bird with
My permission, then
you breathed into it,
and it became a bird
with My permission;
and you healed the
blind and the leper
with My permission;
and when you brought
forth the dead with
146. My permission; and
when I restrained the
Children of Israel
from [killing] you
when you came to
them with clear
proofs and those who
disbelieved among
them said, "This is not
but obvious magic."
147. (5-110)
Translation
One of the miracles
of ^Isa is mentioned
in the Qur'an in Surat
al-Ma'idah, Verses
112-114, which tells
about one time when
Prophet ^Isa and his
followers reached a
148. place where there was
not enough food for
all the people with
him, his disciples
asked him to
supplicate Allah for
food which would
come down on them
from the sky (this is
now in the biblical
149. world as " the last
supper"). ^Isa made
supplication to Allah
and the angels
brought down the
food on a table spread
coming down from
the heavens before the
eyes of the people.
Hundreds and
150. hundreds of people
ate from that food,
and there was no sign
the food had
diminished in
quantity. This miracle
increased the belief of
his righteous
followers .
The blasphemers
152. disciples, "Believe in
Me and in My
messenger Jesus."
They said, "We have
believed, so bear
witness that indeed
we are Muslims [in
submission to
Allah ].* [And
remember] when the
153. disciples said, "O
Jesus, Son of Mary,
can your Lord send
down to us a table
[spread with food]
from the heaven?
[Jesus] said," Fear
Allah , if you should
be believers. *They
said, "We wish to eat
154. from it and let our
hearts be reassured
and know that you
have been truthful to
us and be among its
witnesses." *Said
Jesus, the son of
Mary, "O Allah , our
Lord, send down to us
a table [spread with
155. food] from the heaven
to be for us a festival
for the first of us and
the last of us and a
sign from You. And
provide for us, and
You are the best of
providers.* Allah
said, "Indeed, I will
sent it down to you,
156. but whoever
disbelieves afterwards
from among you -
then indeed will I
punish him with a
punishment by which
I have not punished
anyone among the
worlds." (5-111/115)
After his revelation,
157. Prophet ^Isa lived on
earth for about three
years. He traveled
from place to place
calling people to the
worship of Allah. He
was so detached from
the worldly matters
that he did not worry
that he did not have a
158. house to return to at
night. He used to
sleep wherever the
night would fall on
him, whether he was
in an open land or in a
sheltered place. He
wore clothing made
out of unwoven wool.
He ate from the raw
159. plants of the earth,
without desiring to
cook them. He did not
marry or have
children.
Prophet Isa PBUH
was an example of the
righteous believer that
does not have the
worldly matters in his
160. heart and mind, all he
cared about is the
worship of the
almighty and calling
people to the straight
path.
THE INJIL (Gospel)
^Isa received a holy
scripture, the Injil,
which contained the
161. Shari^ah, (rules of the
Religion) revealed to
him.
In it there were clear
prohibitions , the first
of which is to take
partners with Allah in
worship, what we call
in Arabic Ashirk:
قال تعالى:" لقد أوحي إليك وإلى الذين من قبلك لن أشركت ليحبطن عملك ولتكونن من
الخاسرين"
162. Allah said:"And
certainly it has been
revealed to you and
the ones before you ,
surely if you ascribe
partners with Allah
your deeds would be
null and void and you
will certainly be from
the losers" (Azhumar
163. 39-65)
In it was the
prohibition of
associating partners
with Allah. In it was
the prohibition to
consume the usurious
gain (riba), swine
meat, blood, and the
meat of animals not
164. slaughtered properly.
It contained the order
to perform the Prayer
(with bowing and
prostration) . It had
the order to fast , and
the order to perform
taharah the ablution
and cleanliness .
Prophet ^Isa came
165. with a Shari^ah that
contained making
permissible some of
the things which had
been forbidden upon
the children of Israel
in the Torah.
Although what is
called "The Bible"
today contains some
166. true stories of Prophet
^Isa, it does not
contain exclusively
the true Injil which
was revealed to
prophet Isa PBUH but
rather , it is a
collection of books
like the name
suggests , it comes
167. from the word Biblia
(a collection of
books ).
According to the
Online Etymology
Dictionary, the word
bible is from Latin
biblia, traced from the
same word through
Medieval Latin and
168. Late Latin, as used in
the phrase biblia sacra
("holy book" - "In the
Latin of the Middle
Ages, the neuter
plural for Biblia (gen.
bibliorum) gradually
came to be regarded
as a feminine singular
noun (biblia, gen.
169. bibliae, in which
singular form the
word has passed into
the languages of the
Western world.").
This stemmed from
the Greek term τὰ
βιβλία τὰ ἅγια (ta
biblia ta hagia), "the
holy books", which
170. derived from βιβλίον
(biblion), "paper" or
"scroll," the ordinary
word for "book",
which was originally
a diminutive of
βύβλος (byblos,
"Egyptian papyrus"),
possibly so called
from the name of the
171. Phoenician port
Byblos from whence
Egyptian papyrus was
exported to Greece.
Biblical scholar Mark
Hamilton states that
the Greek phrase Ta
biblia ("the books")
was "an expression
Hellenistic Jews used
172. to describe their
sacred books several
centuries before the
time of Jesus," and
would have referred
to the Septuagint. The
Online Etymology
Dictionary states,
"The Christian
scripture was referred
173. to in Greek as Ta
Biblia as early as
c.223."
Allah talks about the
injil in the Quran in
many places (and by
the way that is where
the word evangelic or
evangil comes from) :
ُقال تعالى:" إ ِذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم اذكر نعمتي عليك وعَلى والدتك إ ِذ أ َيدتك بروح القدس تكلم

Allah said:"[The Day]
when Allah will say,
"O Jesus, Son of
Mary, remember My
favor upon you and
upon your mother

and in maturity; and

And (appoint him) an
messenger to the
children of Israel "

Allah said:" Then, in
their wake, We
followed them up

apostles: We sent after
them Jesus the son of
Mary. And bestowed
on him the Gospel "

THE ASCENSION
OF PROPHET
^ISA(Jesus)
178. When Prophet ^Isa
was 33 years old, the
blasphemers among
the offspring of Israel
plotted to kill him, but
Allah saved him from
their harm.
This comes to us in
many narrations:
Ibn Abi Hatim and
179. an-Nasa'iyy narrated
from the route of Ibn
^Abbas that he said:
Prophet ^Isa was in
session with twelve of
his elite companions
in a house. He told
them that among them
would be who would
blaspheme in the
180. future. Then he asked
them, "Who among
you would want to be
made to look like me,
be killed in my place,
and be my companion
in Paradise." The
youngest among them
stood up and said,
"Me." Prophet ^Isa
181. told him to sit, then
repeated his same
question. Again, the
same young man said,
"Me." Again, Prophet
^Isa told him to sit,
then again asked the
same question. After
the same young man
volunteered for the
182. third time, Prophet
^Isa received the
Revelation that this
young man would be
the one who would be
made to look like him
and killed instead of
him. Prophet ^Isa was
raised to the heavens
from an opening in
183. the ceiling of the
house. When the Jews
came after Prophet
^Isa, they saw that
young man, whom
Allah made to look
like ^Isa. They took
him, thinking he was
Prophet ^Isa, and
crucified him. Again
184. let me remind my
dear listeners that we
are giving you the
islamic perspective
about prophet Isa
PBUH , not meant to
contradict or offend
anyone, but this is an
area where our
respective faiths do
185. differ .
It should be noted
here there are two
widespread stories
about this matter. In
one, it is claimed that
one of ^Isa's disciples
was paid a great sum
of money to lead
those Jews to ^Isa,
186. however Allah made
the trader look like
^Isa, so they crucified
him instead. In
another, it is said that
the person killed in
place of ^Isa was the
leader of the Jews.
Both of these stories
do not have a lot of
188. disbelief from them,
he said, "Who are my
supporters for [the
cause of] Allah ?" The
disciples said," We
are supporters for
Allah . We have
believed in Allah and
testify that we are
Muslims [submitting
189. to Him] * Our Lord,
we have believed in
what You revealed
and have followed the
messenger Jesus, so
register us among the
witnesses [to truth].
*And the disbelievers
planned, but Allah
planned. And Allah is
190. the best of planners *
[Mention] when Allah
said, "O Jesus, indeed
I will take you and
raise you to Myself
and purify you from
those who disbelieve
and make those who
follow you [in
submission to Allah
191. alone] superior to
those who disbelieve
until the Day of
Resurrection. Then to
Me is your return, and
I will judge between
you concerning that in
which you used to
differ * And as for
those who
192. disbelieved, I will
punish them with a
severe punishment in
this world and the
Hereafter, and they
will have no helpers.
* But as for those
who believed and did
righteous deeds, He
will give them in full
193. their rewards, and
Allah does not like
-3( " .the wrongdoers
)75/25
Allah also spoke
: about the crucifixion
قال تعالى:" وقولهم إ ِنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهمْ
ُّ َ َ ُ ْ َ َ َْ َ َ ُ َ ّ ِ َ َ ََُ ُ َ َ ََُ ُ ََ ِ َ َ ِْ ِ ْ ّ َََْ ْ َ ِ َ ِ َ
َ ّ َ َ ُ ّ ُ َْ ِ
وإ ِن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم إ ِل ّ اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا * بل رفعه الله إ ِليه
ّ ّ َ َ ََُ ُ َ ِ ً َّ َ َ ّ ّْ ُ َ َ ُ ِ ِ ِ ْ ِْ ٍ َ ّ ّ ِ َ ََْ ُ ْ ِ ِ َ ِ
وكان الله عزيزا حكيما
َ َ َ ّ ُ َ ِ ً َ ِ ً "
]Allah said:" And [for
,their saying, "Indeed
194. 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
195. 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 * Rather,
Allah raised him to
Himself. And ever is
196. Allah Exalted in
Might and Wise. " (4
157/158)
Translation
After Prophet ^Isa
was raised to the
heavens, his nation
lived following his
guidance, teaching,
and methodology for
197. two hundred (200)
years. However, the
nation of Prophet ^Isa
did not remain
steadfast on Islam and
monotheism. Three
hundred (300) years
after Prophet ^Isa was
raised to the heavens ,
the followers the ones
198. who had perverted the
teachings of Prophet
^Isa became very
numerous, and those
who were truly
following the
Religion of Islam
were few and weak.
After some five
hundred (500) years,
199. almost none of the
believing Muslims of
^Isa's nation were left.
By the time Prophet
Muhammad received
revelations, very few
of the followers of Isa
PBUH were on the
true monotheism ,so
prophet Mohammed
200. was the only one, he
was the only Muslim
worshipping only
Allah from among the
people of the earth.
We should also
mention that prophet
Isa PBUH prophesied
the coming of prophet
Mohammed.
201. We find this both in
the Quran and the
:bible
َ ُ ُ ّ ِ َْ ُ ّ َ ّ ً ّ َ َْ َ َ َ ّ ِ َ
قال تعالى:" وإ ِذ قال عيسى ابن مريم يا بني إ ِسرائيل إ ِني رسول الله إ ِليكم مصدقا لما بين يدي من
ْ َ ِ َ ّ ْ ُ َ َْ َ َ َِ َ ْ َ َ ِ َ

Allah said:" And
,[mention] when Jesus
,the son of Mary, said
,"O children of Israel
indeed I am the
202. 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
203. said, "This is obvious
magic."
Part 2
Al-Bukhari and
Muslim reported from
Abu Hurairah (Radiya
Allahu Anhu) that the
Prophet (Sallallahu
Alaihi wa Sallam)
204. said: "As soon as any
new born comes to
this life Satan strikes
him and as a result
she/he yells because
of Satan's strike
except Mary and her
son" . Al-Bukhari and
Muslim also reported
that the Prophet
205. (Sallallahu Alaihi wa
Sallam) said:
"Whoever
acknowledges that
there is no God but
Allah, The One and
The Only Who has no
partners, that
Muhammad is His
servant and His
206. Messenger, that Isa
(Alaihi Salaam) is the
servant of Allah and
His Messenger and
His Word which he
bestowed on Maryam
and a spirit created by
Him. He should also
believe in Paradise
and Hell. Allah will
207. make any such person
enter Paradise no
matter what he did" .
Miracles Of Prophet
Isa
As it is the case with
the messengers of
Allah , they were
endowed and
supported by miracles
208. from Allah, prophet
Musa had the staff
that he split the red
sea with and many
other miracles ,
similarly prophet Isa
(Jesus) PBUH had
many miracles, the
first of which we
mentioned earlier, the
209. fact that he spoke in
the cradle to defend
:his mother
قال تعالى:" فأتت به قومها تحمله قالوا يا مريم لقد جئت شيئا فَريا * يا أ ُخت هارون ما كان أ َبوك امرأ َ
َ ْ َ َ ُ َ َ َ َ ُ ِ ْ َ َََ ْ ِ ِ َ ْ َ َ َ ْ ُِ ُ َ ُ َ َ َْ ُ َ َ ْ ِْ ِ ًَْ ِّ
سوء وما كانت أ ُمك بغيا * فأشارت إ ِليه قالوا كيف نكلم من كان في المهد صبيا * قال إ ِني عبد الله آتاني
َْ ُ ّ ِ َ ِ َ َ َ ّ ْ َ ْ ِ َِّ ََ َ َ ْ َْ ِ َ ُ َْ َ ُ َّ ُ َ َ َ ِ َ ْ ٍ َ َ َ َ ْ ّ ِ َ ِّ
الكتاب وجعلني نبيا * وجعلني مباركا أ َين ما كنت وأ َوصاني بالصلة والزكاة ما دمت حيا * وبرا بوالدتي
ََ ّ ِ َ ِ َِ َُ َ ً ْ َ َ ُ ُ َ ْ َ ِ ِ ّ َ ِ َ ّ َ ِ َ ُ ْ ُ َّ َ َ ََِ ْ َِ َ َ َ ََِ َِّ
ولم يجعلني جبارا شقيا * والسلم علي يوم ولدت ويوم أ َموت ويوم أ ُبعث حيا
َ ّ َ ُ ََ ّ َ ْ َ ُِ ّ ََ ْ َ ُ ُ ََ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َّ َّ ً َ ِّ ََ ْ َ ْ َِْ "
Allah said:" Then
she brought him to
her people, carrying
him. They said, "O
Mary, you have
210. certainly done a thing
unprecedented. * O
sister of Aaron, your
father was not a man
of evil, nor was your
mother unchaste."*
So she pointed to him.
They said, "How can
we speak to one who
is in the cradle a
211. child?"*[Jesus] said,
"Indeed, I am the
servant of Allah . He
has given me the
Scripture and made
me a prophet* And
He has made me
blessed wherever I am
and has enjoined upon
me prayer and zakah
212. as long as I remain
alive*And [made me]
dutiful to my mother,
and He has not made
me a wretched tyrant
* And peace is on me
the day I was born
and the day I will die
and the day I am
raised alive." (19-
213. 27/31)
Prophet Isa (Jesus)
PBUH also was given
the ability to perform
other miracles ,
especially that a lot of
the people of his tribe
did not believe in
him, they did not get
passed the accusation
214. that they directed
towards his blessed
mother, they made it a
motive to disbelieve,
since people by nature
, they do not like the
truth when it comes to
them, the truth is
heavy, the truth is a
responsibility , the
215. truth gets the
unrighteous out of
their comfort zone,
therefore they would
look for any excuses
to reject it , at this
was the case with the
people of prophet Isa
(Jesus) PBUH , so the
only other way to
216. make believers out of
them is to performs
extraordinary acts in
front of their eyes and
prophet Isa (Jesus)
did just that.
His Miracles:
1.he was born with no
father and from a
virgin mother.
217. 2.he could speak
whilst in the cradle to
defend his mum from
accusations of
adultery and also to
bring Allah`s message
to the people.
3.he created a bird
from mud and gave
life to it via help from
218. allah SWT of course.
4.he could cure the
leper and blind
5.he could resurrect
the dead
6.he walked on water
7.The table that came
down from the
heavens with the will
of Allah.
219. 8. He probably has
the longest
lifespan(longer than
nuh pbuh (950-
1000years) as he is
not officially dead but
risen up to the second
heaven waiting until
allah appoints a time
for him to descend
221. favor upon you and
upon your mother
when I supported you
with the Pure Spirit
and you spoke to the
people in the cradle
and in maturity; and
[remember] when I
taught you writing
and wisdom and the
222. Torah and the Gospel;
and when you
designed from clay
[what was] like the
form of a bird with
My permission, then
you breathed into it,
and it became a bird
with My permission;
and you healed the
223. blind and the leper
with My permission;
and when you brought
forth the dead with
My permission; and
when I restrained the
Children of Israel
from [killing] you
when you came to
them with clear
224. proofs and those who
disbelieved among
them said, "This is not
but obvious magic."

MIRACLE OF THE
BIRD
Isa (Jesus) was
preaching to a crowd
225. one day and he
brought to their
attention the pivotal
importance of belief
as the basis of
spiritual life. He
talked about the true
meaning of the belief
in Allah (swt) and
what this belief
226. instructed to the
believers. He spoke
of the ethics and
morals of religion as
well as how important
it is to be good and do
good.
People listened
although they did not
appear to give serious
227. thought or have
questions for what
was preached.
Prophet Isa wanted to
greatly impress them
so they would accept
and follow the truth of
his Message.
Prophet Isa (Jesus)
was in the center of a
228. large crowd. The
crowd grew anxious
in anticipation, all
silently looking and
standing still with
excitement. Prophet
Isa took some clay
from the ground and
slowly sculptured it
into a bird. The clay
229. bird had a small head,
a thin neck, and a
round body. When
Prophet Isa was
finished his hands
were covered with the
muddy clay. He put
the clay bird in one of
his hands. The
curiosity of the crowd
230. climaxed as everyone
looked puzzled, not
knowing what to
make of it. He then
blew on the clay bird
and by Allah's power,
and to the amazement
of all, the clay bird
was immediately
transformed into a
231. real, living bird! The
bird flew away as the
crowd watched in
amazement. The
people could hardly
believe it but they saw
with their own eyes,
and they rubbed their
eyes to see if that was
true. And as if by
232. reflex, they talked to
each other in
puzzlement, "Has
anyone seen such a
sight? Isn't this
amazing? It must be a
miracle!!"
Prophet Isa took
this opportunity and
proclaimed, "See how
233. marvelous the power
of Allah is!? Do you
believe me now!?"
The crowd rushed to
him repeating their
belief, and how
amazing the miracle
was.
As everyone
hurried home they
234. talked incessantly
about the miracle of
the bird. The village
was struck with
astonishment as
everyone rushed to
meet Prophet Isa
hoping to see more
miracles. They
wanted to hear
235. Prophet Isa talk and
preach, they wanted
to see more of him.
However, those who
didn't see the miracle
of the bird thought it
was magic and they
wanted to see for
themselves just to be
sure.
236. Translation
HEALING THE
SICK
Prophet Isa
(Jesus) traveled from
one town to another.
He was surrounded by
his 12 disciples who
were his ardent
237. supporters. Prophet
Isa preached and
preached, his central
theme being faith in
Allah and how
necessary it was to be
good through
applying Allah's
commands. People
listened more
238. attentively by now
since the story of the
bird's miracle spread
from one area to the
other. More was
needed however,
since there were still
many people in
different towns who
needed to be
239. impressed. People
also started to expect
more from Prophet
Isa, wanting to see the
supernatural in order
to believe.
Prophet Isa was in
a new town preaching
as usual. He was
surrounded by many
240. people, mostly
common, ordinary
people, who listened
to him. These
common people
included the curious,
the poor, and the
hopefuls. They saw
from a distance a man
who was walking in
241. pain toward them, as
if his sickness had
disabled him. He was
suffering from a grave
sickness, a very
disabling one to say
the least. The
sickness was leprosy.
With such a sickness
the man was very
242. disfigured, with
lumps and ulcers on
his face to such an
extent he was hardly
recognizable. His
arms were stiff,
fingers crooked and
disfigured, and he had
even lost some toes.
It was so bad that he
243. couldn't even feel
through his skin
completely unable to
feel the pain or sense
it!
This sickness had
been with him for
years and it grew to
such an extent that
many people were
244. scared to stand next to
him or even talk to
him. With difficulty
the man approached
the crowd, limping
until he was face to
face with Prophet Isa.
The two silently
gazed at each other.
Prophet Isa looked
245. at this man with pity,
his heart bleeding for
him. Then, with a
weak voice, the sick
man asked, "Cure me,
please cure me! Oh
Jesus, Prophet of
God, ask Allah to cure
me! Please, please, do
that for me."
246. The crowd was
silent and motionless
as they waited in
anticipation. They
were hoping to see
something happen
while Isa (Jesus), the
Prophet of God, was
on his knees praying.
Isa prayed very hard,
247. asking Allah
Almighty to invoke
His powers and to
help heel the man.
After a short while,
Prophet Isa (Jesus)
received the Power
from God, he felt it
within him; he stood
up and put his hand
248. on the sick man's
shoulders and said a
few words.
Within a few
minutes, and in front
of their eyes, they saw
the disfigured man
change completely!
The man's face began
to clear, as the lumps
249. disappeared! His
crippled hands and
fingers changed to
normal, and the local
numbness
disappeared. For the
first time the man
could feel as he
shouted in
excitement! To the
250. surprise of all, from
the curious and
expecting to believers
and non-believers, to
educated and
illiterate, they all
witnessed it, none
could deny it! They
were speechless,
amazed, and
251. confounded to say the
least.
The crowd was
wide-eyed with
wonderment and cried
with excitement.
They shouted to each
other, "A miracle,
what a miracle!"
They felt happy,
252. excited, and sure.
Each witness
remembered a sick
friend or relative who
was in need of a cure,
a fast easy cure. They
wanted to take
advantage of Prophet
Isa, to utilize him,
forgetting that the
253. miracles were to jolt
them into belief and
to adhere to the
teachings of Prophet
Isa (Jesus).
People constantly
talked and talked of
how Prophet Isa,
Christ, the good
teacher, performed
254. marvelous miracles in
support of his
teachings. His
reputation quickly
spread, and people
were ever more
divided between
believer and
disbeliever since for
many it meant loss of
255. jobs, yet for others it
meant salvation , we
have to remember that
his people were
famous for their
knowledge in the field
of early time
medicine .

256. THE BLIND MAN
WHO COULD NOT
TALK:
Prophet Isa
(Jesus) kept visiting
many areas and
preached. He was
affirming the essence
and substance of the
Torah, without the
257. blemishes that some
of the Jews had added
to it. Prophet Isa was
popular with some
gatherings and not so
popular with others.
More was needed
though, to affirm the
Message with which
Allah had entrusted
258. him.
Prophet Isa, Christ
as called by now (Al-
Maseeh, the Messiah)
was walking through
the streets of a town
with his disciples and
others by his side.
Many people were
gathering as the area
259. was a shopping area.
The street was
narrow, winding
about, but here and
there you could see an
open space.
Not too far away
they spotted a man
standing, lonely and
forlorn. He looked
260. tired, frail, and
pathetic. He had been
blind for a long time
and could not talk
either for he was
mute. For him it was
an extremely difficult
life. Even so he had
heard that the new
Prophet cured the
261. leper through
invoking the Power
he received from the
Almighty.
Prophet Isa saw
the pathetic man
standing alone, not
seeing or even able to
speak. His heart bled
for the blind man
262. since the man could
not even call for help.
Prophet Isa was a man
of love and he loved
the poor and the
disadvantaged and
those who needed
help. Prophet Isa,
therefore, stood still
looking at the blind
263. man and people
watched in curiosity.
They felt something
special was about to
happen. The crowd
was very large, and
they waited
breathlessly. Isa (Al-
Maseeh, the Messiah)
prayed to Allah
264. Almighty, asking for
the Power, the special
power Allah makes
available to him, to
help the blind and
mute man. There
were minutes of
tension that passed
with anticipation.
Prophet Isa moved
265. toward the blind man
and touched his
shoulder. People
were quiet, their
hearts pounding hard
as they listened
intently. "Will a
miracle be
performed?" they
asked themselves.
266. Sure enough, they
saw the man's eyes
open and looking
normal; he could now
see! He jumped with
joy and excitement
shouting over and
over again, "I can see!
I can talk!" He
touched everything as
267. if disbelieving
himself! He knelt in
deep gratitude. "I can
see people," and
excitedly he shouted,
"I can see shops and I
can see the blue skies!
Oh how wonderful! I
can see everything!"
He could talk too, and
268. even shout, and say
anything he wanted!
The crowd, struck
with awe, could
hardly believe their
eyes. Excitement in
the air was as high as
could be. Each
person was
incessantly talking to
269. others saying that a
miracle, by the Power
of God, was just
performed through
Prophet Isa (Jesus)!
The people's faith in
the teachings of
Prophet Isa was
augmented. Miracles
in those times were
270. the perfect tool to
make people believe.
The reputation of
the works of Prophet
Isa was spreading
fast, even the Romans
could not ignore it.
The Jewish
Rabbinical authorities
were very much
272. Isa (Jesus) could
not perform a Miracle
on demand, therefore
one of the excuses the
Jews gave was that
when they asked
Jesus (Al-Maseeh, the
Messiah) to perform a
miracle he could not
do so, since those
273. miracles , all
depended on the will
and the power of
Allah.
In spite of that,
the witnessing crowds
grew bigger and the
reputation and call for
more miracles became
intense. Focusing
274. attention on the real
meaning of the Torah,
the essence of the
teachings of Allah, the
Creator, was
becoming better
known. It brought
another challenge to
the Jewish leaders as
an increasing number
275. of them began to
believe.

RAISING FROM
THE DEAD
Prophet Isa not
only raised one
person from the dead
but a few. One that
276. stands out, however,
was that of Lazarus.
The news of his death
stunned his sisters,
Mary and Martha.
They mourned, cried,
and grieved over his
death, and felt very,
very sad. They
rushed to where
277. Prophet Isa was and
pleaded with him to
attend Lazarus .
Friends and
relatives were around,
consoling and
comforting both
Martha as well as
other relatives. At the
scene, the crowd was
278. large and many
people talked with
low voices out of
respect to the dead.
Isa the Prophet, along
with a few in his
company, headed
toward the group.
Silence prevailed, as
everyone expected the
279. Prophet to do what he
could. They had
already witnessed the
Prophet perform
many miracles with
the Power of God.
Prophet Isa knew that
many had already
witnessed the
previous miracles.
280. But this time a special
miracle and more
astonishing than ever
was needed, it had to
involve a dead man.
Lazarus was dead
for about three days,
and his body was stiff
with rigor-mortis. He
was shrouded with a
281. white sheet and was
about ready to be
buried. Prophet Jesus
entered the room and
approached the dead
man. He knelt by
Lazarus and started to
pray to Allah
Almighty to make the
marvelous miracle
282. happen , and within a
short time he stood
up, and with authority
ordered Lazarus to be
back to life as he was
before!
What people
witnessed was the
impossible to believe.
The crowd was
283. thunderstruck and
awed by the scene—
the dead Lazarus
began to stir and then
he slowly rose alive
again! It looked as if
he had never died.
What a scene! How
difficult to believe,
but they saw it with
284. their own eyes, they
were the witnesses.
These miracles,
though coming at
strategic moments,
were an essential
means to make people
believe and be
attached to the
teachings of Prophet
285. Isa. They called him
Christ, meaning the
Good Teacher, or the
Anointed one, since
his teachings affirmed
and explained the
essence of the Torah
as Jesus said many
times.
Prophet Isa was
286. the greatest challenge
to the Jews of that
time. A great number
of them believed in
him and his teachings.
The performance of
the miracles added
zest to those teachings
and confirmed the
teachings as well.
288. people that Jesus was
a mighty Prophet. It
was to prove too, that
the Miracles
performed were only
through the Power of
God as Isa had
repeatedly said. Allah
(swt) gave Prophet Isa
the capacity to utilize
289. the Power because the
people of the time
needed to see proof
before they would
believe.
The teachings of
Prophet Isa were the
very essence and
substance of the
Torah; they were far
290. more important than
any and all miracles
combined.
Prophet Isa
reminded people of
the genuine teachings
of Prophet Musa and
other Prophets since
those teachings were
greatly changed by
291. different priests and
clergymen over time.
Therefore, Prophet
Isa's teachings were
essential and very
necessary.
Prophet Isa also
had his own specific
Revelations and his
specific teachings,
292. through the new holly
scriptures that he had
received , a new
revelation called Al
Injil, with specific
teachings pertaining
to his people and his
time.
He taught the belief
in Allah (swt) and His
293. Oneness, and called
the people to pray to
Allah and to worship
him with no partners.
He taught them to
strengthen their faith
and that through faith
they should be
righteous. He asked
people to be kind,
294. nice, loving, and
forgiving. He asked
them not to talk
behind anyone's back
and not to hurt others.
He asked people also
to fight evil.
He reminded people
not to cheat but to be
honest.
295. He asked them not to
steal, be mean or
troublesome.
He preached
goodness in its
various forms and
urged the faithful to
be people of integrity,
decency, and good
morals.
296. Prophet Isa had
twelve disciples, his
trusted helpers, and
they were good men
whom the Holy Quran
calls them good
Muslims. The
disciples helped
continue the spread of
Allah's Message
297. during the life of Isa
and afterwards.

Crucifixion Of
Prophet Isa (Jesus)
(PBUH)
The preaching work
by Prophet Isa (peace
be upon him) lasted
for three years. A
298. considerable number
of people began to
follow him. They
adopted good ways of
life. The Romans and
the Jews were much
worried because of
the prevailing
influence of Prophet
Isa (peace be upon
299. him) and his disciples.
They feared lest they
should rise in revolt
against them. They
decided Isa, the
Prophet to be
crucified.
There was a large
gathering and the
soldiers were standing
300. all around where Isa,
the Prophet was
supposed to be
crucified. Even some
of those people who
were against his
teachings did not
agree with the idea of
crucifying him.
Prophet Isa PBUH
301. asked one of his
disciples to take his
place and bare his
resemblance and be
rewarded with his
companionship in
paradise, only a
young men
volunteered , the
Prophet asked him to
302. sit down and repeated
the request , and
every time the same
young man
volunteered , and it
was meant to be , and
decreed by Allah, the
young sacrificed
himself and took the
likeness of prophet
303. Isa PBUH in order to
be taken in his stead,
a great example of a
young believer that
sacrifices himself to
save the prophet of
Allah .
According to the
Quran and Hadith
,most of the teachings
304. of Prophet Isa (peace
be upon him) are still
in the Gospel but
some of the things
written in the Bible
are not in original
form. They were
changed and some
additions as well as
subtractions have
305. been made in his
teachings.

BIBLE
PROPHECIES
ABOUT THE
ADVENT OF
MUHAMMAD
Abraham is widely
regarded as the
306. Patriarch of
monotheism and the
common father of the
Jews, Christians and
Muslims. Through
His second son, Isaac,
came all Israelite
prophets including
such towering figures
as Jacob, Joseph,
307. Moses, David,
Solomon and Jesus.
May peace and
blessings be upon
them all. The advent
of these great
prophets was in
partial fulfillment of
God's promises to
bless the nations of
308. earth through the
descendants of
Abraham
(Genesis12:2-3).
Genesis 12:2-3 :
2-“I will make you
into a great nation,
and I will bless
you;
I will make your
309. name great,
and you will be a
blessing.
3- I will bless those
who bless you,
and whoever curses
you I will curse;
and all peoples on
earth
will be blessed
310. through you.”
Such fulfillment is
wholeheartedly
accepted by Muslims
whose faith considers
the belief in and
respect of all prophets
an article of faith.
BLESSINGS OF
ISHMAEL AND
311. ISAAC
Was the first born son
of Abraham (Ishmael)
and his descendants
included in God's
covenant and
promise? A few
verses from the Bible
may help shed some
light on this question;
312. 1) Genesis 12:2-3
speaks of God's
promise to Abraham
and his descendants
before any child was
born to him.
2) Genesis 17:4
reiterates God's
promise after the birth
of Ishmael and before
313. the birth of Isaac.
Genesis 17:4
4- As for me, behold,
my covenant is with
thee, and thou shalt be
a father of many
nations.
3) In Genesis, ch. 21.
Isaac is specifically
blessed but Ishmael
314. was also specifically
blessed and promised
by God to become "a
great nation"
especially in Genesis
21:13, 18.
Genesis 21:13, 18
13- I will make the
son of the slave into a
nation also, because
315. he is your offspring.”
14- Early the next
morning Abraham
took some food and a
skin of water and
gave them to Hagar.
He set them on her
shoulders and then
sent her off with the
boy. She went on her
