Stories of the Prophets,
0:05
peace be upon them.
0:07
Allah's blessings,
0:09
followed by
0:11
peace,
0:13
be upon the best of all
0:15
creation,
0:17
the resolute Messengers
0:20
whose station is
0:22
exalted.
0:24
The story of Jesus,
0:27
peace be upon him.
0:29
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:34
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
0:36
and blessings and peace
0:38
be upon our Prophet Muhammad,
0:40
and upon his family and Companions,
0:42
all of them.
0:44
To proceed:
0:46
After the Children of Israel plotted
0:48
to kill the Prophet of Allah, Jesus,
0:50
peace be upon him,
0:52
Allah Almighty raised him
0:54
unto Himself in both soul and body.
0:56
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said
0:58
in the hadith
1:00
of the Night Journey and Ascension:
1:02
"Then he ascended until
1:04
he reached the second heaven
1:06
and asked for it to be opened.
1:08
It was asked,
1:10
'Who is this?'
1:12
He said, 'Gabriel.'
1:14
It was asked, 'And who is with you?'
1:16
He said, 'Muhammad.'
1:18
It was asked,
1:20
'Has he been sent for?'
1:22
He said, 'Yes.'
1:24
It was said, 'Welcome to him!
1:26
What an excellent visit his is!'
1:28
And it was opened.
1:30
When I entered,
1:32
behold, there were John and Jesus,
1:34
who were maternal cousins.
1:36
He said,
1:38
'These are John and Jesus,
1:40
so greet them.'
1:42
I greeted them,
1:44
and they returned the greeting and said,
1:46
'Welcome, righteous brother
1:48
and righteous Prophet.'"
1:50
Messengers used to come
1:54
successively to the Children of Israel
1:56
without interruption;
1:58
no prophet passed away
2:00
but another prophet succeeded him,
2:02
until Jesus came,
2:04
peace be upon him,
2:06
and he was the last prophet
2:08
sent to the Children of Israel.
2:10
Divine revelation ceased after him
2:12
from the earth
2:14
until our Prophet Muhammad was sent,
2:16
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:18
who is the absolute final
2:20
Prophet.
2:22
Between the two of them were six hundred years;
2:24
these years were known
2:26
as the period of cessation (fatrah).
2:28
Allah conferred His favor upon the People of the Book
2:30
among the Children of Israel
2:32
by sending the Prophet Muhammad,
2:34
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:36
as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner.
2:38
He said:
2:40
﴾O People of the Scripture,
2:42
there has come to you
2:44
Our Messenger making clear to you [the teachings]
2:46
after a cessation
2:48
of [the series of] Messengers,
2:50
making things clear to you
2:52
“O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto you to make things plain unto you after an interval (of cessation) of the messengers, lest ye should say: There came not unto us a messenger of cheer nor any warner. Now hath a messenger of cheer and a warner come unto you. Allah is Able to do all things.” (5:19)
2:54
lest you should say,
2:56
'There came not to us
2:58
any bearer of glad tidings
3:00
lest you should say,
3:02
'There came not to us
3:04
any bearer of glad tidings
3:06
or a warner.'
3:08
Now there has come to you
3:10
a bearer of glad tidings
3:12
and a warner,
3:16
and Allah is over all
3:18
things
3:20
competent.﴿
3:22
Jesus,
3:25
peace be upon him, was raised up
3:27
more than a thousand
3:29
years ago from now,
3:31
and he will descend at the end of time
3:33
to the earth
3:35
when his appointed time draws near, so that he may be buried in it.
3:37
For Allah has decreed
3:39
that from it He created them,
3:41
into it He returns them,
3:43
and from it He will bring them forth
3:45
once again.
3:47
The descent of Jesus,
3:49
peace be upon him, will be among the major
3:51
signs [of the Hour],
3:53
and a mercy for the inhabitants of the earth,
3:55
just as his birth
3:57
and mission were a mercy to them.
3:59
The Messiah, Jesus,
4:01
son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend
4:03
to refute the claim of the Jews
4:05
that they killed him,
4:07
and to refute the claim of the Christians
4:09
that he is a god or the son of God,
4:11
thus nullifying
4:13
their claims,
4:15
and fighting them if they do not submit
4:17
and accept the religion of Islam,
4:19
following the law of Muhammad,
4:21
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:23
It is mentioned across the collective
4:27
narrations and hadiths
4:29
that the Prophet, peace be upon him,
4:31
informed us
4:33
that the Hour will not be established
4:35
until the Romans land
4:37
at al-A'maq or Dabiq,
4:39
which are two areas
4:41
near Aleppo in the land of
4:43
the Levant (al-Sham).
4:45
Then an army from the city will march out to meet them—
4:47
that is, from the city of Aleppo
4:49
or Damascus—
4:51
consisting of the best people of the earth at that time.
4:53
When they form their ranks,
4:55
the Romans will say,
4:57
"Step aside between us and
4:59
those who took captives from us,
5:01
so that we may fight them."
5:03
By this, they intend to divide
5:05
the ranks of the Muslims and break
5:07
their unity.
5:09
The Muslims will reply,
5:11
"No, by Allah, we will never step aside
5:13
between you and our brethren!"
5:15
So they will fight them.
5:17
One third
5:19
of the Muslim army will flee,
5:21
whose repentance Allah will never accept;
5:23
never.
5:25
Another third will be killed,
5:27
and they are the best of martyrs in the sight of Allah;
5:29
and Allah will grant victory to
5:31
the remaining third,
5:33
who will never be put to trial.
5:35
They will conquer Constantinople,
5:37
which is now
5:39
Istanbul.
5:41
While they are distributing the spoils,
5:43
having hung their swords
5:45
on olive trees,
5:47
Satan will cry out among them,
5:49
"The False Messiah (al-Dajjal)
5:51
has taken your place
5:53
among your families!"
5:55
So they will depart Constantinople,
5:57
heading back to their families,
5:59
only to discover that this
6:01
claim made by Satan
6:03
was false.
6:05
Yet when they reach the Levant,
6:07
specifically Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis),
6:09
the Dajjal will appear
6:11
in truth.
6:14
The Dajjal
6:16
is a creature from among Allah Almighty's creation
6:18
who will claim divine lordship,
6:20
and his trial will be the greatest trial
6:22
since Allah created
6:24
Adam until the establishment of the Hour.
6:26
There was no prophet
6:29
but that he warned his people against him,
6:31
because of
6:33
what Allah will create alongside him
6:35
of immense supernatural feats
6:37
that will dazzle minds
6:39
and bewilder intellects.
6:41
It has been reported that he will have
6:43
a paradise and a fire with him,
6:45
but his paradise will be a fire,
6:47
and his fire will be a paradise;
6:49
and he will have rivers of water
6:51
and mountains of bread,
6:53
He will command the sky to rain,
6:55
and it will rain;
6:57
and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation, and it will sprout.
6:59
Followed by him
7:01
will be the treasures of the earth, like swarms of bees.
7:03
And he will traverse
7:05
the earth at immense speed,
7:07
like a rain cloud driven
7:09
by the wind.
7:11
These supernatural feats
7:13
will tempt and mislead the people,
7:15
and a great multitude will follow him,
7:17
particularly the Jews from among
7:19
the Children of Israel.
7:21
And the majority of those who go out to follow him
7:23
will be women,
7:25
to the extent that a man will return
7:27
to his wife, his mother,
7:29
his daughter, his sister, and his paternal aunt,
7:31
and tie her up
7:33
for fear that she might go out to join him.
7:35
While the Muslims
7:38
are preparing and getting ready
7:40
to fight the Dajjal and his followers
7:42
from among the Jews and the Christians,
7:44
Allah Almighty will grant permission
7:46
for Jesus, peace be upon him,
7:48
to descend to the earth.
7:50
He will descend at the white minaret
7:52
east of Damascus,
7:54
wearing two garments
7:56
lightly dyed with saffron,
7:58
resting his hands
8:00
on the wings of two angels.
8:02
When he lowers his head,
8:04
droplets of water will fall from it,
8:06
and when he raises it,
8:08
beads like pearls
8:10
will scatter from it.
8:12
The time for the Dawn prayer will arrive,
8:14
and the call to commence the prayer will be given.
8:16
Jesus,
8:18
peace be upon him, will approach them to pray with them.
8:20
He will come to them
8:22
when they have already straightened their ranks for prayer,
8:24
with the Mahdi as their leader.
8:26
The Mahdi will say to Jesus,
8:28
peace be upon him:
8:30
"O Spirit of Allah,
8:32
come forward and lead the people in prayer."
8:34
But Jesus, peace be upon him, will reply:
8:36
"No,
8:38
the call to prayer was established for you;
8:40
indeed, some of you
8:43
are leaders over others,
8:45
as an honor from Allah for this
8:47
Ummah."
8:49
So Jesus, peace be upon him, will pray
8:51
behind him.
8:53
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
8:55
"How will you be when
8:57
the son of Mary descends among you,
8:59
while your leader is from among yourselves?"
9:03
At that time, the Dajjal will be
9:05
besieging the Muslims,
9:07
so Jesus, peace be upon him,
9:09
will go out to face him.
9:11
It is among the divine honors granted to Jesus
9:13
that no disbeliever
9:15
can smell his breath
9:17
without dying;
9:19
and his breath, peace be upon him,
9:21
reaches as far as
9:23
his sight can see.
9:25
When the Dajjal sees him,
9:27
he will dissolve just as salt dissolves
9:29
in water;
9:31
even if he were left alone, he would dissolve until
9:33
he perished
9:35
from it.
9:37
But Jesus, peace be upon him, will pursue him
9:39
until he overtakes him at the gate of
9:41
Ludd—
9:43
which is a town in Palestine,
9:45
near Jerusalem.
9:47
Jesus, peace be upon him, will say:
9:49
"I have for you
9:51
a strike that will not miss me."
9:53
He will strike him with his spear
9:55
and kill him,
9:57
ridding mankind of his evil.
9:59
He will then show them his blood
10:01
on his spear.
10:03
This will be done to make it clearly evident
10:05
to the believers
10:07
that the Dajjal was merely
10:09
deceiving the eyes of the people;
10:11
for had he truly possessed
10:13
divine power as he claimed,
10:15
he would have repelled being killed
10:17
and dying from himself.
10:19
Allah will defeat his followers
10:21
from among the Jews and others,
10:23
and they will be utterly routed and slain.
10:25
There will not remain any creature,
10:27
tree, or stone
10:29
behind which a Jew conceals himself,
10:31
except that it will speak on that day,
10:33
saying:
10:35
"O Muslim, O servant of Allah,
10:37
here is a Jew
10:39
behind me, come and kill him!"—
10:41
except for the boxthorn tree (al-gharqad),
10:43
for it is one of the trees
10:45
of the Jews.
10:47
Then Jesus, peace be upon him, will come to
10:49
a people whom Allah has protected
10:51
from the Dajjal.
10:53
He will wipe their faces
10:55
and inform them of their ranks
10:57
in Paradise.
11:00
Then Jesus, peace be upon him, will assume
11:02
authority and rule over the earth,
11:04
judging by the Sacred Law of our Prophet
11:06
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
11:08
The people
11:10
will pledge allegiance to him,
11:12
and he will enact righteous reforms:
11:14
he will abolish the creed of the Christians,
11:16
break the cross,
11:18
kill the swine
11:20
so that it is never eaten after that day,
11:22
and abolish the jizyah tax
11:24
from the People of the Book.
11:26
He will accept nothing from them except Islam:
11:28
they will either embrace Islam
11:30
or be fought.
11:32
Goodness will spread during his era,
11:34
and wealth will become so abundant
11:36
that no one will accept charity.
11:38
Then Allah will send
11:40
a heavy rain that will wash
11:42
the earth until it leaves it
11:44
like a smooth mirror.
11:46
Allah will command the earth to bring forth
11:48
its fruit and restore
11:50
its blessing.
11:52
On that day, an entire group
11:54
of people will eat from a single pomegranate
11:56
and seek shade under its peel.
11:58
Blessings will be placed
12:00
in milk,
12:02
such that a single milch camel—
12:04
newly delivered of her calf—
12:06
a milch camel
12:08
will suffice a large company
12:10
of people;
12:12
a milch cow
12:14
will suffice an entire tribe of people;
12:16
and a milch sheep
12:18
will suffice a clan,
12:20
which is a group of close relatives.
12:22
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated
12:25
from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
12:27
who said:
12:29
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
12:31
"By the One in Whose hand
12:33
is my soul,
12:35
the son of Mary will soon descend among you
12:37
as a just judge.
12:39
He will break the cross,
12:41
kill the swine,
12:43
and abolish the jizyah.
12:45
Wealth will overflow
12:47
to the point that no one will accept it,
12:49
and a single prostration
12:51
will be better than this world
12:53
and all that is in it."
12:55
Then Abu Hurayrah would say:
12:57
"Recite if you wish:
12:59
'And there is none from the People
13:01
of the Scripture but
13:03
“There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them -” (4:159)
13:05
and on the Day of Resurrection
13:07
he will be a witness against them.'"
13:09
Meaning that not one
13:12
of the Christians
13:14
will remain at the end of time
13:16
except that he will believe that Jesus
13:18
is the servant of Allah and His Messenger,
13:20
and His Word which He bestowed
13:22
upon Mary, and a spirit from Him;
13:24
and he will abandon his corrupt belief,
13:26
and that will take place before
13:28
the death of Jesus, peace be upon him.
13:30
During the time of Jesus, peace be upon him, Allah will cause
13:33
to perish
13:35
all religious communities
13:37
except Islam.
13:39
Justice will spread among the people,
13:41
and rancor,
13:43
mutual hatred, and envy will vanish.
13:45
Security will prevail
13:47
across the earth,
13:49
so much so that lions will graze alongside camels,
13:51
leopards with cows,
13:53
and wolves with sheep.
13:55
Allah will strip away
13:57
the poison from every venomous creature,
13:59
to the point that children will play
14:01
with snakes and scorpions
14:03
without suffering any harm.
14:05
And while people are in this state,
14:07
Allah Almighty will permit
14:09
the barrier of Dhu al-Qarnayn to collapse,
14:11
and the people of
14:13
Gog and Magog will emerge,
14:15
“Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound,” (21:96)
14:17
swarming down
14:19
from every elevated place on earth,
14:21
rushing forth swiftly.
14:23
Then Allah Almighty will reveal
14:25
to 'Isa, peace be upon him:
14:27
"I have brought forth servants of Mine
14:29
whom no one has the power
14:31
to fight;
14:33
so take My servants safely
14:35
to Mount Tur."
14:37
Thus the Prophet of Allah, 'Isa,
14:39
peace be upon him, along with the Muslims who are with him,
14:41
will take refuge on the mountain,
14:43
while the rest of
14:45
the Muslims retreat into their fortified cities,
14:47
gathering together with them
14:49
their livestock.
14:51
Gog and Magog will then spread
14:53
across the land,
14:55
wreaking havoc by slaughtering
14:57
and devastating everything in their path.
14:59
They will pass by the Sea of Galilee
15:01
and drink up all its water,
15:03
and when the last of them pass by,
15:05
they will say,
15:07
"There once was, in this place,
15:09
water."
15:11
Then they will overpower the inhabitants
15:13
of the earth and say,
15:15
"These are the inhabitants of the earth,
15:17
and we have finished them off;
15:19
now let us fight
15:21
the inhabitants of heaven!"
15:23
One of them will shoot his arrow
15:25
into the sky,
15:27
and it will return stained with blood,
15:29
so they will boast,
15:31
"We have slain the inhabitants of heaven!"
15:33
The Prophet of Allah, 'Isa,
15:37
peace be upon him,
15:39
and his companions will be besieged on the mountain,
15:41
suffering severe hardship and hunger,
15:43
to the point that the head of an ox
15:45
for one of them
15:47
will be dearer than a hundred dinars
15:49
to any of us today.
15:51
Then 'Isa, peace be upon him,
15:53
and his companions will supplicate against them,
15:55
so Allah will send upon the people of
15:57
Gog and Magog
15:59
parasitic worms that will infest their necks,
16:01
killing them,
16:03
so that they all perish
16:05
in a single moment,
16:07
dying like a single soul.
16:09
In the morning, the Muslims
16:11
will hear no sound from them,
16:13
though they had been besieging them,
16:15
and they will say,
16:17
"Who will sell his soul for Allah's sake,
16:19
and go down to see
16:21
what they have done?"
16:23
So a man from among the Muslims will descend,
16:25
having braced himself
16:27
for the certainty that they would kill him;
16:29
but he will find them all dead.
16:31
He will call out to his fellow Muslims,
16:33
"Rejoice!
16:35
For your enemy has been destroyed!"
16:37
The people will rejoice,
16:39
come out of their fortresses,
16:41
and release the livestock
16:43
that had been confined with them.
16:45
Then the Prophet of Allah,
16:47
'Isa, peace be upon him,
16:49
and his companions will descend to the land,
16:51
but they will not find upon it
16:53
the space of even a handspan
16:55
that is not filled with their putrid corpses.
16:57
So the Prophet of Allah,
16:59
'Isa, peace be upon him,
17:01
and his companions will turn humbly to Allah
17:03
and supplicate Him.
17:06
Then Allah will send gigantic birds,
17:08
whose necks are like the necks of Bactrian camels,
17:10
and they will carry their corpses
17:12
and cast them wherever
17:14
Allah wills.
17:16
Some of them will be thrown into deep pits
17:18
in the ground,
17:20
while others will be hurled
17:22
into the sea.
17:24
Then Allah will send down rain
17:26
that will wash the earth clean of their stench,
17:28
and the Muslims will finally find relief
17:30
from their evil.
17:32
They will kindle fires
17:34
from the weapons of Gog and Magog—
17:36
from their spears and bows—
17:38
for seven years.
17:40
'Isa, peace be upon him, will complete
17:44
forty years on earth:
17:46
thirty-three
17:48
of them before
17:50
he was raised up to heaven,
17:52
and seven years after descending
17:54
from it.
17:56
Then 'Isa, peace be upon him, will enter into the state of ihram
17:58
for Hajj and 'Umrah,
18:00
heading to Makkah to the Sacred House
18:02
and performing the pilgrimage rites.
18:04
Then he will visit Madinah
18:06
and come to the grave of the Prophet,
18:08
offering greetings of peace upon him,
18:10
and the Prophet,
18:12
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
18:14
will return his greeting.
18:16
And in Madinah,
18:18
Allah will take the soul of 'Isa,
18:20
peace be upon him,
18:22
so he will pass away,
18:24
and the Muslims
18:26
will pray the funeral prayer over him.
18:28
He will be buried in the Prophet's chamber,
18:30
beside the Prophet,
18:32
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
18:34
and his companion Abu Bakr,
18:36
as mentioned by al-Bukhari in his Tarikh and by al-Tabarani.
18:41
And in al-Mawahib al-Ladunniyyah by al-Qastallani, may Allah have mercy on him, he said,
18:46
"There remains in the chamber the space for a single grave,
18:49
in which 'Isa ibn Maryam will be buried,
18:52
and his will be the fourth grave."
18:55
Afterwards, people will live in abundant goodness and blessing;
19:00
their provision will be plentiful, their livelihood pure and pleasant,
19:04
and they will have no need to toil,
19:06
as the earth's blessings will burst forth from every corner.
19:10
Then Allah will send a cool, pleasant breeze from the direction of the Levant,
19:16
leaving no one on the face of the earth in whose heart
19:20
is an atom's weight of goodness or faith
19:24
without taking their soul,
19:26
so that none remain on earth except the most wicked of creation,
19:30
and upon them the Hour will strike.
19:33
On the Day of Resurrection,
19:35
Allah Almighty will address His servant and messenger 'Isa, peace be upon him,
19:42
questioning him in the presence of those who took him and his mother as deities besides Allah.
19:48
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
19:55
This question is meant to confront the Christians with dread,
20:00
rebuking and reproaching them before all the witnesses.
20:05
And this dialogue will take place between Allah Almighty and 'Isa, peace be upon him:
20:11
"And when Allah will say, 'O 'Isa, son of Maryam!'"
20:15
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:22
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:29
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:34
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:41
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:46
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?” (5:116)
20:53
"Indeed, You alone are the Knower of all the unseen."
21:00
“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.” (5:117)
21:08
“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.” (5:117)
21:15
“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.” (5:117)
21:23
“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.” (5:117)
21:30
“If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.” (5:118)
21:36
“If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.” (5:118)
21:46
“Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph.” (5:119)
21:53
"For them are gardens beneath which rivers flow,
22:05
abiding eternally therein forever;
22:09
Allah is well-pleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him;
22:13
that is the supreme triumph."
22:16
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all within them,
22:23
and He is over all things competent.
22:30
And in conclusion to the story of the Prophet of Allah, 'Isa, peace be upon him,
22:37
we remind you of the exhortation of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
22:42
where he said,
22:44
"I hope that, if my life is extended, I will meet 'Isa ibn Maryam;
22:50
but if death takes me early, whoever of you meets him should convey my greetings of peace to him."
22:57
And Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "O children of my brother,
23:02
if you see him, say, 'Abu Hurayrah conveys greetings of peace to you.'"
23:09
Greetings of peace from our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
23:14
greetings of peace from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
23:18
and greetings of peace from all of us to the Prophet of Allah, 'Isa, peace be upon him!
23:25
And here is glad tidings for all of us,
23:29
for the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
23:33
"Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner,
23:38
and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger,
23:41
and that 'Isa is the servant of Allah and His messenger,
23:45
“O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” (4:171)
23:49
and that Paradise is real and Hell is real,
23:53
Allah will admit him into whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wills."
23:59
And in another narration:
24:02
"Allah will admit him into Paradise regardless of his deeds."
24:07
Agreed upon.
24:09
With this, we arrive at the conclusion of this blessed
24:15
series recounting the stories of the Prophets, upon all of whom be peace and blessings.
24:22
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
24:25
