Jesus
the Just Ruler
The Hadiths of the prophet Muhammad
give the image of Jesus being a just ruler also. The Hadith is as follows:
The Prophet Muhammed
said, "By Him in Who’s hands my soul rests, surely Jesus, Son of Maryam
(Mary) will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind judiciously,
by the law of the Quran, as an honest ruler. He will break the cross, kill
the pig and abolish jizya). Money will abound in such excess that no one
will wish to accept it. A single prostration to Allah, in prayer, will
be better than the whole world and all it contains." Abu Hurayrah, the
narrator, added, "If you wish, you can recite this verse from the holy
Quran": "And there is none of the people of the book, but must believe
in him (i.e. Jesus as an apostle of Allah and a human being), before his
death, and on the Day of Judgement, he will be a witness against them."
4/159. Quran.
