The holy prophet Muhammad came to this world during a period of Jahiliyah (ignorance). He came as a messenger of our Lord, Almighty Allah (the Exalted), who equipped him with the Holy Quran, through the channel of divine revelation, as a means of shining the light of Islam through the darkness of ignorance, and enabling people to discover the true reason for life itself.
The holy prophet not only left the Quran, as a source of guidance, but also the Sunnah. In every respect we have been told how to go about our everyday lives, through the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah. If we were to abide by this beautiful, divine, sensible and utterly adequate guidance, we would become free of the calamities which befall those whose lives are devoid of Allah’s Mercy (Rahmah). Our lives would abound with the blessings of Allah, the Bountiful and innumerable gifts from Allah the Most Favourable, would be our reward.
Unfortunately it is obvious and apparent from the plight of Muslim nations these days, that adherence to the Quran and the Sunnah is at a very low ebb, causing such irrevocable damage to the faith of the people and their lives, as to render their Iman void of any consistency.
It is during these times which are rife with evil temptations (Fitnah), trials and confusing issues pertaining to religion, that our faith, if strong, will help us overcome such works of the Devil.
Deviation from the path of Islam, paved by the Sunnah of the prophet e, is causing Muslims worldwide to suffer excessively. In order for Islam to become the reigning religion, it is incumbent upon us to return to the roots of our faith i.e. the Noble Quran and the Sunnah.
Due to the rapid progress of the media in recent times, the true plight of the Muslim Ummah is coming to light. We only have to peruse the papers or glance at the news, to be bombarded with images of the decreasing status of Muslims, being oppressed, abused and slandered etc. This has caused not only people of other faiths, but also Muslims themselves to slander and mock the teachings of the prophet Muhammad .
Such corruption is eating away at the unity of the Muslim Ummah, and in addition to this we have within Islam, groups forming their own fraternity. These groups are deviating from the original enlightenment of Islam, thus causing an increase of conflict within the hearts of the Ummah. There is such a large amount of people of differing views claiming the cloak of leadership, that it has caused the validity of this position to be saturated with doubt in the Muslim people’s minds. Thus the Muslims are not inclined towards accepting anyone at face value - they need to know the person inside out, his spiritual and religious leaning and his capacity in dealing with the huge anti-Islam operation instigated by the Kufaar. As the Kuffar are the ones who monopolize the entire media market, anti-Islamic propaganda material is being splashed throughout the world.
No person has yet professed his suitability as a leader of Islam, to the Muslims. As each candidate when scrutinized thoroughly yields abnormalities in nature, rendering him incompatible for this post.
In addition to this, the breakdown of unity and the division among Muslims has contrived to make them accept leaders from among their own groups only. Thus a leader is not chosen due to his moral and religious character, but rather his genealogical background and geographical origin and which sect he adheres to, are all factors taking precedence over his religious attributes, when appointing a leader. This divided Ummah is not prepared to accept anyone who is outside of their particular sect, as a leading authority.
To lead the Muslims out of this situation of internal dispute and partitions, to extract the Ummah from the mire of conflict caused by the Kuffar, to improve upon the standard of the Muslim nation, to establish unity of faith and to enact the merger of an all powerful Islamic force which will wipe out all existing evil from the surface of the earth and the core of humanity, a leader possessing extraordinary spiritual powers, free from any geographical and biographical attachments (thus giving rise of acceptance from the entire Ummah), is needed.
All these relevant qualifications will be fulfilled to satisfaction, by he who is to take on the responsibility of restoring order to humanity. The person to take on this demanding role will be the prophet I`sa u, who will descend from the sky, thus eradicating any relation to a geographical origin. He will possess no family ties, thus abolishing any favouritism or rejection, due to familial origin, from the Ummah. He will be conferred with great honour as Allah Himself says in the Holy Quran :
In this book we have attempted to give the reader, a clear image and picture of the manner in which I`sa u has been portrayed in various beliefs.
One man with one mission has been given such contrary attributes as to make a person suppose that different personalities are being adhered to. It is astounding how infinite the human stretch of the imagination can be, and when applied in connection with religion, it seems to go a stretch further.
This will become clear to the reader as progress is made in this book, considering the Christian and especially the Qadiani contortions of the true mission of I`sa u, which was to spread the true message of Allah into the hearts of the people of Israel and to uphold the teachings of the Torah, revealed to the prophet Musa before him. Such a sensible and reasonable mission was distorted to such an extent, by the Christians, as to cause people to see I`sa in the light of God.
The Qadiani’s took the perfect, faultless, impeccable example of I`sa
u and distorted it beyond all measure,
by insulting and abusing his character mercilessly. Conversely if one was
to compare the Islamic portrayal of I`sa
to that of the other faiths, the perfect image of a faultless personality,
obviously sent by the lord, on a mission to purge the people of the irregularities
in their faith, becomes irrevocably clear.
No religion in the world, outside Christianity, makes it an article of faith to believe in I`sa (Jesus) honour him and love him except Islam. Indeed a Muslim who renounces the belief in Jesus renounces his faith as a Muslim.
"Say We believe in God and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and I`saac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what was entrusted to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to Him we have surrendered."
