We are nearer to Jesus than them

Muhammad Hassan

Summary of the lecture

The Prophets of Allah were all sent with one religion, they, the prophets, from the time of Adam till the seal of Prophets our beloved chosen prophet, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, have been sent with the message of Islam. Hence, the only religion approved by Allah is Islam. The lecture mentioned the creed of Christians that Allah is third of three and Jesus is His son, on the other hand Islam that the Prophets have been sent with totally renounces this creed that Allah have labeled with infidelity. Monotheists are the nearest to Jesus the prophet of Allah because they believe that he’s the slave and Messenger of Allah, and His word sent to Mariam. Moreover they believe in all the prophets and never disbelieve in a single prophet, thus whoever believes in Jesus (peace be upon him) and disbelieves in Mohammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) then he disbelieved in Jesus before he had disbelieved in Prophet Mohammad.

The lecture

All Praise is due to Allah, We praise Him and we seek help from Him. We ask forgiveness from Him. We repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our own evils and our own bad deeds. Anyone who is guided by Allah, he is indeed guided; and anyone who has been left astray, will find no one to guide him. I bear witness that there is no God except Allah, the Only One without any partner; and I bear witness that our master and beloved Muhammad is His servant, His Messenger, the chosen one from among all creatures, and His beloved. He (Muhammad) fulfilled the trust, conveyed the Message, and advised the nation; so Allah drove away, by him, the grief. And he fought in the cause of Allah sincerely till the definite end came to him.

Therefore, we ask Allah to grant him, because of his favor toward us, the best grant He gave for a prophet and messenger because of his mission. And prayers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his family, his companions, his beloved ones, his followers and anyone followed his guidance and treaded his way till the Day of Judgment.

Dear virtuous fathers and beloved brothers, may Allah greet you all. May you be blessed along with your steps and achieve a place in Paradise. And may Allah reward you for this care; although, by Allah, I do not deserve it.

We seek refuge in Allah from the submissiveness of hypocrisy. Therefore, I ask Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, Who gathered me with you in this blessed gathering for obeying Him, to gather me with you in the hereafter with the master of the callers to Islam, the Chosen Prophet, in His Paradise and place of honor; indeed He is the owner of that and the One able to achieve it.

Dear beloved for the sake of Allah, ‘we are nearer to Jesus than them’ is the title of our lecture to you in this generous blessed night. As I am accustomed to do, my speech to you tonight will be arranged according to the following subdivisions:

First: Prophets are brothers.
Second: Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.
Third: The whole Christian creed.
Fourth: The only way for the Paradise of Allah the Exalted.

So; lend me your heart and ear, because, now, this issue is very important

First: Prophets are brothers;

Dear generous brothers, the Christian world and also the weak defeated Muslim world witness in these days great celebrations because of the birthday of the Jesus (best prayers and peace of Allah be upon him and our prophet too) at the time in which the Christians reviled Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, great revile and invented atrocious lie against him: {Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, (90) That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah). (91) But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). (92) There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. (93) Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. (94) And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender)} [Surat Maryam: 90-92].

{تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا ﴿٩٠﴾ أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدًا ﴿٩١﴾ وَمَا يَنبَغِي لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا ﴿٩٢﴾ إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَبْدًا ﴿٩٣﴾ لَّقَدْ أَحْصَاهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّا ﴿٩٤﴾ وَكُلُّهُمْ آتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَرْدًا} مريم: 90-95

Transliteration: Takadu alssamawatu yatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu alardu watakhirru aljibalu haddan (90) An daAAaw lilrrahmani waladan (91) Wamayanbaghee lilrrahmani an yattakhitha waladan (92) In kullu man fee alssamawati waalardi illa atee alrrahmani AAabdan (93) Laqad ahsahum waAAaddahum AAaddan (94) Wakulluhum ateehi yawma alqiyamati fardan

Actually, those who claim that Jesus is the son of Allah, Allah is Jesus son of Mary or Allah is the third of three (in trinity) are the farthest people from Jesus and the people who disbelieve in him most. On the other hand, the nearest people to Jesus are the monotheists along with their leader, imam and master of prophets, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) who said: “I am the nearest of all people to Jesus son of Mary in this worldly life and hereafter too.” They (the companions) said: “O Messenger of Allah, how?” Whereupon he said: “All the prophets are paternal brothers have one religion, and there has been no prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus)” [Reported by Muslim].

«أنا أولى الناس بعيسى بن مريم. في الأولى والآخرة قالوا: كيف؟ يا رسول الله! قال: الأنبياء إخوة من علات. وأمهاتهم شتى. ودينهم واحد. فليس بيننا نبي» رواه مسلم

Therefore; dear brothers, prophets are brothers with one religion. Whereupon, anyone disbelieves in one of the prophets and messengers has indeed disbelieved in all the prophets and messengers. If you believed in Jesus and disbelieved in Muhammad, you had disbelieved in Jesus before disbelieving in Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them and upon all their brothers). On the other hand, if you believed in Muhammad and disbelieved in Jesus, you had disbelieved in Muhammad before disbelieving Jesus. Look at the religion’s justice!

Consider the Holy Qur`an with me. Allah sent to the people of Noah no messenger but Noah (peace be upon him); but when they belied him (alone), Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: {The people of Nûh (Noah) belied the Messengers} [Surat Ash-Shu’ara: 105].

{كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} الشعراء: 105

Transliteration: Kaththabat qawmu noohin almursaleena

And when the people of Lot belied none but Lot (peace be upon him), Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: {The people of Lût (Lot) (-who dwelt in the town of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers} [Surat Ash-Shu’ara: 160].

{كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} الشعراء:160

Transliteration: Kaththabat qawmu lootin almursaleena

Also, the people of ‘Ad belied none but Hud (peace be upon him); however, Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: {‘Ad (people) belied the Messengers} [Surat Ash-Shuara: 123].

{كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} الشعراء: 123

Transliteration: Kaththabat AAadun almursaleena

Also, the people of Thamûd belied none but Salih (peace be upon him); however, Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: {Thamûd (people) belied the Messengers} [Surat Ash-Shuara: 141].

{كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} الشعراء: 141

Transliteration: Kaththabat thamoodu almursaleena

Therefore; whoever belies a prophet has belied all his brothers of the Prophets and Messengers. Furthermore, Allah taught this fact to the people of monotheism, and they accepted and believed in it; so Allah blessed their acceptance and recorded it in His Qur`an at the end of Surat Al-Baqarah; He Almighty said: {The Messenger (Muhammad, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).”} [Surat Al-Baqarah: 285].

{آَمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آَمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ} البقرة: 285

Therefore, the Prophets are paternal brothers who have one religion; they are dignified majestic caravan that has one message, one way and one religion. Dear brothers, there is no religion with Allah called Judaism, Christianity or Abrahamic; rather, the religion with Allah from the time of Adam till the beloved chosen Messenger is Islam. Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: {Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam} [Surat Al-Imran: 19]; and this is the second element in this lecture.

{إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَام} آل عمران: 19

Transliteration: Inna alddeena AAinda Allahi alislamu


Second: Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam;

Is Islam the religion of Adam? Yes. Is Islam the religion of Noah? Yes. Is Islam the religion of Abraham? Yes. Is Islam the religion of Jesus? Yes. Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Dear good brothers, Noah came with nothing but Islam. So, you should consider with me this important element, especially in this time, to prostrate yourselves to your Lord because He chose you as monotheist and sent Muhammad to you.

Noah came with nothing but Islam; Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said about him in Surat Yunus: {and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims (i.e. those who submit to Allâh’s Will)} [Surat Yunus: 72].

{وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ} يونس: 72

Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manâsik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajjand ‘Umrah), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.} [Surat Al-Baqarah: 127-128],

{وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (127) رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِنَا أُمَّةً مُسْلِمَةً لَكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ} البقرة:127-128

Then Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: {And who turns away from the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous. (130) When his Lord said to him, "Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!" He said, "I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)." (131) And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob), (saying), "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism)."} [Surat Al-Baqarah: 130-132].

{وَمَنْ يَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَّا مَنْ سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَقَدِ اصْطَفَيْنَاهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْآَخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ (130) إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ أَسْلِمْ قَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (131) وَوَصَّى بِهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَا بَنِيَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى لَكُمُ الدِّينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُون} البقرة: 130-132

Jacob came with Islam; Allah said about him in Surat Al-Baqarah: {Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya‘qûb (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilâh (God - Allâh), the Ilâh (God) of your fathers, Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), One Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in Islâm)."} [Surat Al-Baqarah: 133].

{أَمْ كُنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءَ إِذْ حَضَرَ يَعْقُوبَ الْمَوْتُ إِذْ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ إِلَهَكَ وَإِلَهَ آَبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ} البقرة:133

Lot came with nothing but Islam; Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said about him in Surat Az-Zariyat: {[Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?" (31) They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah); (32) To send down upon them stones of baked clay. (33) Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners those who trespass Allah's set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins). (34) So We brought out from therein the believers. (35) But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [i.e. Lout (Lot) and his two daughters].} [Surat Az-Zariyat: 31-36].

{قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ (31) قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِينَ (32) لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِنْ طِينٍ (33) مُسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ (34) فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (35) فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِين} الذاريات: 31-36

{Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam} [Surat Al-Imran: 19].

{إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ} آل عمران: 19

Transliteration: Inna alddeena AAinda Allahi alislamu

O you, monotheist, whom had been favored by Islam, I swear by Allah that you could never feel the greatness of this grace unless you go to the countries of infidelity. There you could see whom Allah bestowed upon them everything a man can desire; they knew everything in the universe, blew up the atom, made the rocket and plane and spaceship, and turned the whole world into small village by the virtue of the astonishing techniques in the field of communication and transportation. They know everything in the universe except their Creator, the Exalted the Glorious. Allah is greatest! They know everything but the Creator! On the other hand, if you asked a simple man from among our simple fathers; who is your Lord? He would say: “Allah”, and if you asked him; what is your religion? He would say: “Islam”, and if you asked him; who is your prophet? He would say: “Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) and I believe in him along with all his brothers of the prophets and messengers”. If you asked him; do you believe in Jesus? He would say: “Yes”, and if you asked him; did you accuse Maryam? He would say: “Never. God forbid.” And if you asked him; did you say about her heinous saying like the saying of the Jews? He would say: “No. God forbid.” Rather, it is said by a just priest respects his mind before respecting the truth. When he was asked by one of the Muslim strivers; I ask you by the name of the Lord, if you wanted to read for your daughter, whom you want to bring up as chaste and shy, the story of Mary’s pregnancy, from which book could you read it? Whereupon, this just priest said: “I swear by God that I did that; I read it from the Holy Qur`an.” Allah is Greatest! Allah is Greatest! He read it from the book of Muhammad, the book of pureness, chastity and honor. He read it from the Holy Qur`an that mentioned the story in purity. That is why I previously said; I hope that the authors of the realistic story, who play on the string of sex and crime, would study the technique of the story in the book of Allah to learn pureness, chastity, honor and chivalry. Indeed the nation got bored of this impure filthy play, and it is time for it to learn every generous honorable manner.

Islam is the religion of all prophets. None of the prophets came with something other than this, Islam, this submission and compliance to Allah the Exalted the Glorious. Allah said to the Last Messenger: {And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)} [Surat Al-Anbiya: 25].

{وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدُونِ} الانبياء: 25

Transliteration: Wama arsalna min qablika min rasoolin illa noohee ilayhi annahu la ilaha illa anafaoAAbudooni

Dear beloved brothers, recognize the favor of Allah the Exalted the Glorious. It is reported in the two Sahihs on the authority of Abu Hurayra that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to Christianity or to Magianism” [Al-Bukhari’s narration].

«كل مولود يولد على الفطرة فأبواه يهودانه أو ينصرانه أو يمجسانه...» متفق عليه واللفظ للبخاري

Someone grows up in a Jewish house; so he becomes Jewish saying that Ozair is the son of Allah. Another grows up in a Christian house; so he becomes Christian saying that the Christ is the son of Allah. And another grows up in a Magus house; so he worships the fire instead of Allah. But me and you grew up in houses declare Allah’s oneness; so we declared the oneness of Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, with no desire or choice. Hence, to whom does the favor return? It is to Allah, the Exalted the Glorious: {They regard as favour to you (O Muhammad, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) that they have embraced Islâm. Say: "Count not your Islâm as a favour to me. Nay, but Allâh has conferred a favour upon you that He has guided you to the Faith if you indeed are true} [Surat Al-Hujurat: 17].

{يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَسْلَمُوا قُلْ لَا تَمُنُّوا عَلَيَّ إِسْلَامَكُمْ بَلِ اللَّهُ يَمُنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ هَدَاكُمْ لِلْإِيمَانِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ} الحجرات:17

Transliteration:Yamunnoona AAalayka an aslamoo qul latamunnoo AAalayya islamakum bali Allahu yamunnu AAalaykum an hadakum lileemani in kuntum sadiqeena

O Allah, as You chose us to be monotheists; we ask You, the most Gracious, to bestow upon us steadiness on monotheism, to make us die on it and to resurrect us among the monotheists under the flag of the ideal monotheist, the master of the Messengers (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him).


Third: The whole Christian creed;

I declare this creed from the base of its being declared to us by the Holy Quran. Therefore; I say, from the very beginning, that this is our Holy Qur`an and these are our Masjids and those are the monotheists, and it is obligatory upon the scholars to explain the Holy Qur`an for the monotheists in the houses of Allah. Indeed the houses of Allah in the earth are the Masjids.

This is a necessary introduction in order not to be accused. It is the Qur`an of our Lord in the houses of our Lord to our monotheist brothers. We ask Allah to make us die as monotheists. Ameen.

Allah has declared the whole Christian creed about Jesus in clear definite verses. Allah the Exalted the Glorious said: {Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the Messiah [‘Isâ (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)"} [Surat Al-Ma`idah: 72].

{لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ...} المائدة: 72

Transliteration:Laqad kafara allatheena qaloo inna Allaha huwa almaseehu ibnu maryama

This is the Qur`an of our Lord the Exalted the Glorious; so consider the verses: {But the Messiah [‘Isâ (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers} [Surat Al-Maidah: 72]

{وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصَارٍ} المائدة: 72

{ Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. (73) Will they not repent to Allah and ask His Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (74) The Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).} [Surat Al-Maidah: 73-75].

{لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِلَّا إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (73) أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (74) مَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ الطَّعَامَ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الْآَيَاتِ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ} المائدة: 73-75

Allah declared that whoever says that Allah is the Christ or that Allah is the third of the three is infidel; clear infidelity. Actually this is the creed of the Christian sects about Jesus (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him and upon our prophet too). They say that the Jesus is neither a prophet nor righteous servant to Allah. And when they were asked; “Then who is he?” they said: “He is the Lord of the prophets, the Creator of the prophets, the Sender of the prophets, the Helper of the prophets, and the Lord of the angels!” Furthermore, when the priest wants to baptize one of them and declares him as Christian, he would say to him in front of a basin of water in the church: “You would believe that you will never enter Paradise unless you are baptized, and you have to believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that he had entered the womb of Mary, and that he had been crucified, murdered and buried, then he got up alive after three days. Then he ascended to the sky and sat at the right side of the Lord, his father, and he is awaiting the coming of the day of salvation to judge in the Day of Judgment between his creatures.” Then the priest would turn his face to the baptized person and say: “Do you believe in this?” Whereupon he says: “Yes.” And the priest says to him, after pouring some water from this basin over his head: “And I baptize you in the name of the Father God, Son God and the Holy Spirit.” They think that Jesus became human and god in the same time! What does this mean? It means that he became god because of the essence of his father and became human because of the essence of his mother (Allah is exalted above that)! In fact, Jesus is the servant and messenger of Allah and His word which He cast upon Mary and he is spirit from Him. Allah has mentioned his story in many of the chapters of the Holy Qur`an. First; He answered those who astonished his birth with no father; He Almighty said: {Verily, the likeness of ‘Isâ (Jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of Adam} [Surat Al-‘Imran: 59],

And I ask you; which is more miraculous; who is born with no father or mother or who is born with just no father? Actually, the more miraculous one is the one who is created with no father or mother, because having father and mother is the origin of the humans, while Adam was created without having them. Allah says: {And mention in the Book (the Quran, O Muhammad SAW, the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. (16) She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. (17) She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah." (18) (The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son." (19) She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?" (20) He said: "So (it will be)…} [Surat Maryam: 16-21],

Mary had become pregnant by the ability of the King to demonstrate His unlimited ability to His creatures and declare to them that there is nothing impossible to Him on earth or in the sky. Allah created human beings in four kinds; He created Adam with no father or mother, He created Eve from Adam without having mother, He created Jesus from mother without having father, and He created the rest of the people from a father and a mother. He did so to make all creatures know that He is able to do everything.

Yusuf, the carpenter, who had been accused with committing fornication with Mary by the Jews (may Allah curse them), said: “O Mary, what is this?” Yusuf look at the abdomen of Mary and saw the signs of pregnancy appearing on her one day after another, although she is a virgin that had been donated by her mother (Jinna daughter of Faquod) for servicing the house of Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, by saying: {"O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing."} [Surat Al-Imran: 35].

{رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطْنِي مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ} آل عمران: 35

And when Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, answered her call and she gave birth to Mary, she said: {"O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child," - and Allâh knew better what she brought forth,} [Surat Al-Imran: 36].

And when she donated her to Allah (i.e. donated her for servicing His house) {her Lord (Allâh) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyâ (Zachariya)} [Surat Al-Imran: 37].

He said: "O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allâh." Verily, Allâh provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."} [Surat Al-Imran: 37].

This is the environment in which this fragrant pure rose (Mary) had grown up; she is honored by the beloved chosen Prophet. I swear by Allah, Whom there is no God except Him, that there is no religion honoring Jesus or Mary like the religion of Muhammad, the beloved. It is reported in the two Sahihs on the authority of Abu Musa Al-Ash’ary that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Many men have become perfect and no one from amongst the women is perfect except for Mariam Bint ‘Imran…” [Reported by Al-Bukhari].

«كمل من الرجال كثير ولم يكمل من النساء إلا مريم بنت عمران...» رواه البخاري

From whom is this witness? Therefore; every person should know that Islam, the religion of justice and right, never belittles the right of anyone. The beloved Messenger says: “no one from amongst the women is perfect except for Mariam Bint ‘Imran, Asiya wife of Pharaoh, and the excellence of ‘A`isha as compared to women is that of Tharid (Dish made with meat, bread and soup) over all other foods” [Reported by Al-Bukhari].

«...ولم يكمل من النساء إلا : مريم بنت عمران ، وآسية امرأة فرعون ، وفضل عائشة على النساء كفضل الثريد على سائر الطعام» رواه البخاري

I ask Allah to facilitate to me, along with you, a lecture about this Hadeeth, to spend generous interesting night with these exalted models and good examples hoping that the Muslim sister may again look forward to these high peaks, after having the trivial males and females have been presented as models and examples.

Yusuf, the carpenter, looked at the signs of pregnancy appear at Mary… But first; dear brothers, I would like to say that the majority of the scholars of interpretation agree upon that Mary (peace be upon her) became pregnant with Jesus (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him and upon our Prophet too) for nine complete months, although we think that Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, was (and still) able to create Jesus in the womb of Mary in one minute and make her deliver him in one minute (and even less); there is nothing impossible to Him on earth or in the sky. However; Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, made Mary conceive Jesus normally… Then when Yusuf, the carpenter, looked at the abdomen of Mary, he said to her: “O Mary, could there be a child with no father?!” Look at this smart indirect hint! He did not talk directly because he knows that she is worshipper. Yusuf said: “O Mary, could there be a child with no father? Could there be plants with no seeds? Could there be plants with no rain?” Whereupon Mary said: “O Yusuf, Yes.” He asked: “O Mary, How?” So, she replied: “O Yusuf, did you forget that Allah created Adam, when he created him, with no father or mother; and He created the plants, when He created them, with no seeds; and He created the plants, when He created them, with no water or rain?” Whereupon Yusuf said: “I know that Allah is Able to do all things”

{Or like the one who passed by a town while it had tumbled over its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will Allâh ever bring it to life after its death?" So Allâh caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He (the man) said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day". He said: "Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change; and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh". When this was clearly shown to him, he said, "I know (now) that Allâh is Able to do all things." (259) And (remember) when Ibrâhîm (Abraham) said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (Allâh) said: "Do you not believe?" He [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith." He said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. And know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise."} [Surat Al-Baqarah: 259-260].

{Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the Messiah [‘Isâ (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)"} [Surat Al-Maidah: 72],

Transliteration: Laqad kafara allatheena qaloo inna Allaha thalithu thalathatin

Dear beloved brothers; it is reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of ‘Ubada Ibn As-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “He who said: "There is no God except Allah, He is One and there is no associate with Him, that Muhammad is his servant and His messenger, that Christ is the slave of Allah and the son of His slave-girl and he is His word which He sent to Mary and is His Spirit, that Paradise is a fact and Hell is a fact," Allah would make him (he who affirms these truths) enter Paradise through any one of its eight gates he pleases” [Reported by Muslim].

«من قال: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله، وأن عيسى عبد الله وابن أمته وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه، وأن الجنة حق، وأن النار حق، أدخله الله من أي أبواب الجنة الثمانية شاء» رواه مسلم

And in the Hadeeth that is narrated by ‘Uthman Ibn ‘Affan: “I know a word no servant sincerely says it from his heart but he would be prevented from hellfire.” [Reported by Imam Ahmad with an authentic chain of transmission]

«إني لأعلم كلمة لا يقولها عبد حقا من قلبه إلا حرم على النار» رواه أحمد، إسناده صحيح

Actually, this is the way. And it is reported in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurayra that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hellfire” [Reported by Muslim].

«والذي نفس محمد بيده! لا يسمع بي أحد من هذه الأمة يهودي ولا نصراني، ثم يموت ولم يؤمن بالذي أرسلت به، إلا كان من أصحاب النار» صحيح مسلم

We believe unwavering belief that Jesus had not been crucified; rather, Allah casted the likeness of Jesus upon the Jewish criminal, “Judas Iscariot” Who guided the Jews to kill Jesus. Allah cast the likeness of Jesus upon Judas to be killed instead of Jesus as a just punishment to him. Then Allah ascended Jesus to Him. The Majority of the scholars of exegesis said that {but when You took me up} [Surat Al-Maidah: 117]

{فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي} المائدة: 117

Transliteration: falamma tawaffaytanee

means ‘when you made me sleep’, because sleep is minor take up (i.e. minor death); when you sleep you are away from life, although all your body still work by the order of the King. Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, took him up and the chosen Prophet met him in the second sky with his maternal cousin, Yahiya (peace be upon them). Also, among the major signs of the Day of Judgment is the descending of Jesus by Allah to rule the world again with the Shar’ia of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah; Glory be to Allah! When Jesus descends, he would descend at the time of performing obligatory prayer led by the Muslims’ Imam. Once the Muslims’ Imam sees Jesus, he would recognize him, so he would like to go back to make Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, lead the prayer, but Jesus would refuse and say: “No, o nation of Muhammad, your Imam is one from amongst you.” And he would pray behind the Imam from the nation of the beloved chosen Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). Listen to the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah which is reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurayra: “By Him in Whose hand is my life, the son of Mary (peace be upon him) will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross, kill the swine and abolish Jizya (money imposed upon non muslims) and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept it”.

«والذي نفسي بيده، ليوشكن أن ينزل فيكم ابن مريم حكما مقسطا، فيكسر الصليب، ويقتل الخنزير، ويضع الجزية، ويفيض المال حتى لا يقبله أحد» متفق عليه

I swear by Allah that Jesus never saw a cross. The story of crucifixion appeared after 328 years from the date of taking him up; he had never saw it. He will break crosses, kill the swine and abolish Jizya. Abolishing Jizya means not to accept it from anybody; you have either to believe in monotheism and the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) or be killed. At this time wealth will pour forth and this means that the blessing will return to the earth because of the return of justice. I swear by Allah that the blessing had been removed from the earth because of its people injustice, and it will never return to it unless they return just.

It is reported in Az-Zawa`id (the additions) of Imam Abdullah son of Imam Ahmad that they found a grain of wheat as big as a kernel of date (nowadays the grain of wheat is hardly seen, while in sometime it was as big as a kernel of date) and it was in a box upon which it is written that this grew in the earth when it was full with blessing, but when the blessing had been taken away from time and age and everything we saw a life of hardship Allah said about it: {But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’ân nor acts on its teachings.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection} [Surat Taha: 124].

{وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا} طه: 124

“And money will be in abundance that no one will take it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]

«...ويفيض المال حتى لا يقبله أحد، حتى تكون السجدة الواحدة خيرا من الدنيا وما فيها...» رواه البخاري

Abu Hurayra added “If you wish, you can recite the saying of Allah almighty: {and there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him [‘Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being] before his [‘Isâ (Jesus), peace be upon him) or a Jew’s or a Christian’s] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he [‘Isa (Jesus)] will be a witness against them} [Surat An-Nisa: 159].”

{وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا} النساء: 159

Dear beloved brothers, I finally declare the innocence of Jesus that is declared by Allah, the Exalted the Glorious, at the end of Surat Al-Maidah; Allah almighty said: {And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. (116) "Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world). (117) "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (118) Allah will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise).} [Surat Al-Maidah: 116-119].

{وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ (116) مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ (117) إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (118) قَالَ اللَّهُ هَذَا يَوْمُ يَنْفَعُ الصَّادِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ} المائدة: 116-119

After this speech; I ask Allah to forgive our sins. And prayers and peace of Allah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and his family and companions. O Allah, forgive to us our sins. O Allah, cover to us our defaults. O Allah, make us feel peace. O Allah, make our hardships easy for us and remove our solicitudes and grieves. O Allah, return the stray people to You kindly. O Allah, take our foreheads toward You; O the Lord of the worlds. O Allah, as You created us as monotheists, make us die as monotheists and resurrect us among the monotheists under the flag of the Model of the believers and the Master of the prophets. O the most Gracious, we ask You by Your Grace.

O Allah, cover our sins and do not expose them. O Allah, honor us and do not humiliate us. O Allah, be with us and do not be against us. O Allah, grant success to everyone wants good to Islam and Muslims. O Allah, destroy everyone wants evil to Islam and Muslims and perish him as You perished the people of ‘Aad and Thamud. O the most Gracious, we ask You by Your Grace. O Allah, make Egypt an oasis of safety and peace. O Allah, do not deprive Egypt from safety and peace. O Allah, do not deprive Egypt from welfare and stability. O Allah, grant welfare and luxury to Egypt and all Muslim countries. O Allah, save Egypt from rise in prices, diseases and the clear and hidden afflictions. O Allah, save Egypt by saving the monotheism of the monotheists. O the most Gracious, we ask You by Your Grace.

Finally; all right words I said are from Allah and every wrong or forgetfulness is from me and Satan and I declare that Allah and His Messenger are innocent from it. And I seek refuge with Allah from reminding you and not reminding myself. And prayers and peace of Allah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and his family and companions.
