JESUS, SON OF MARY
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Arise Jesus, to fulfill the Word of Allah! ….. Praise be to Allah and Blessed be His Holy Name! What is this I hear: “Lord Jesus!” ….. What? Say you that I am son of God? Woe to you if you believe this. Be quiet and hold your peace! Truly, you do not know what you say, and you do not know by what spirit you are led, if you speak so! See you not me to be a man like yourselves? To this did Satan desire to reduce you — in making you to believe me to be God. Allah is my Lord, and your Lord! Praise Allah and be not afraid, for I have won a ‘great curse’ against those of you who believe this! Verily, you have erred greatly in calling me, a man, your God! I confess before heaven and call to witness everything that dwells upon the earth, that I am a stranger to all that men have said of me — that I am more than ‘man.’ I am a ‘Servant of Allah!’ And like all men, I also am mortal, for I was born of a mortal woman! There is for all men, one entrance into life and a common departure. When I was born, I was nursed with care in ‘swaddling clothes’ — I had a beginning and shall have an end. Therefore I prayed, I called upon Allah ‘without grudging!’ Listen to me and you shall discover the malice of our scribes and doctors! I tell you ‘these testify’ of that which they have ‘not seen nor really heard.’ They are ‘the party of Satan’ and he has made their deeds fair-seeming to them. Such a thing will have its end. And it is certain that if it will have an end, it is madness to love it! Hear my words, for I speak unto you the Truth! Praise Allah! He alone has no equal. He has had no beginning nor will He ever have an end! Wherefore it is needful for one to love and keep, that which shall not have an end! ********** Cursed be everyone who shall insert into my sayings that I am the Son of God! He has no sons, nor brethren, nor companions — but abides eternally, without human similitude! Father of all things, for that He has created all things. But not ‘the father’ after the manner of nature — whence comes countless sects of wicked doctrine! So if your right eye causes you to do wrong, pluck it out. And if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to lose a part of your body, than have all of it go to Hell! Know you not that Allah created all things with one single word, and that all men had their origin out of a piece of clay? Now how shall Allah have likeness to man? Woe to those who suffer themselves to be deceived of Satan! Wherefore I say unto you, that many desire to see me, who despise my words! It would be better for them that they had no eyes. For with the outward sight of his eyes, and the inward sight of his mind — he should seek to ‘know’ Allah, ‘his Creator’ and not make the creature his end. For everything which has an end is vain! ********** The ‘Judgment Day’ of Allah will be so dreadful, that I tremble! Because by the world I shall be called God, and for this, I will have to render an account. And then will I profess: “Lord, the whole world deceived by Satan, said that I was Your son and partner. But the Book that you gave me said truly, I am ‘Your Servant!’ To You ‘alone’ be Glory and Honor! I could not utter what is not right. I told them only what you commanded me to say, that you shall worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord! And that you shall love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength!” ….. He stands Alone, and there is none but He. Believe not on me, but on Him that sent me! And on that Day I shall demand justice without mercy, against those who despise my words, and most of all against those who ‘defile’ my Gospel! And when the ‘Judgment Hour’ shall come, a host will render pleadings for themselves. Many will say unto me on that Day: “Lord, Lord, was it not in your name that we prophesied, drove out demons in your name, and performed miracles in your name?” ….. And then will I profess to them: “I know you not! Depart from me! You workers of iniquity!” ….. In the name of Allah, depart from me! For I have not created you, but Allah, Who has created you, will protect you! I most solemnly say to you: “You have ‘no life’ in you, whoso eats of my flesh and drinks of my blood!” ….. Does this offend you? Why? Because I testify that the works thereof are evil? This is the work of the devil, who is trying to kill you! It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing! The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. This is ‘the bread’ that comes down from heaven. Eat a portion of this food, and fear not, for Allah loves you. Those who believe and do righteous deeds will not be blamed for what they may have eaten — provided they obey and believe! ********** Great are the benefits which Allah has bestowed on us, wherefore it is necessary that we should ‘serve Him with truth of heart!’ Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills! Behold the harvest time is now, and He has brought into maturity ‘the richest grain’ of all the earth. And has done this in order that you may believe on my words! What I teach doesn’t come from me, but from ‘Him’ — Who sent me. He who ‘hears my word’ and ‘believes’ in Him, Who sent me, has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation! Your only Lord is Allah! ‘The One’ who created the heavens and earth! And I — not being able to create ‘a fly!’ Will you not take heed? He controls all matters, and to Him is your ultimate return! He needs no middle man to intercede. There is ‘no intercessor!’ If therefore you serve me, I am deeply troubled now. Seeing that everyone who finds pleasure in ‘the creature’ — be he who he may, and seeks not to find pleasure in Allah, has made an ‘idol’ in his heart and has forsaken Allah! Idolatry is the greatest sin because it deprives man entirely of faith, and consequently of Allah! How many for that cause have departed from Allah and gone to serve idols through your offense, O priests? For you traverse land and sea to win a single ‘convert’ and when he is converted, you make him twice as fit for hell as you are! ‘You’ have greatly sinned in saying: “Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Fear not, for your sins are forgiven you!” ….. As Allah lives, in Whose presence my soul stands, you have greatly sinned O priests, in saying what you have said! I am not able to forgive sins, nor is any man! Marvel not at this, I can of my own self do nothing. It is not mine to answer when men call, and you ‘will not’ come to me that you may have life! This is not my doctrine! And who so shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine — the same comes from evil! ‘This is’ my doctrine: “Believe not on me, but on ‘Him’ Who sent me!” ….. For I have not spoken of myself! I ‘tell you’ that He is Allah, our Lord! ********** Men who are wise and know the Bible, see you not all these things? Will a man rob God? I say unto you verily, that many rob, who know not what they do! You shall be maltreated by the scribes, the high priests, and the doctors of the law and they will lead astray the many who are not wise, because they hold them for holy ones. It is one of their lies when they say: “Allah has begotten!” ….. And therefore their sin is greater than the others. If Allah wanted to have a son, He could have selected from His creation at will! Will you not reflect? They have persecuted me, and also you — for the disease that is not known is not healed! And whoso knows not the goods, they cannot know the robbers! Who do you think I am? I am not the son of God! Wherefore if I should say so, I should be a greater robber, for I should be stealing the honor of Allah! And I am not ‘Christ!’ Do you say this on your own accord? Or did others ‘suggest it’ to you about me? Messiahs are not made by men! No man has heard me say, that I am king and be the Christ! But I pray to be counted worthy with him! Look out that no one misleads you about it, saying I am the Christ. I have no witnesses from the sons of men! Search the Scriptures, and you yourselves will bear witness to this Truth! ‘Men’ call me ‘Christ’ — the king who was to come, and for who you await! When ‘the Christ’ shall come, you’ll be looking for me. Are you? This is nothing but a fabrication! I know that what you say is not of yourself — you listen to what they say! Why is it you don’t understand what I say? I tell you the Truth! Listen to me ‘now’ at least, and let not the ‘eyes of your understanding’ be darkened, nor ‘your ears stopped’ that they do not hear! ********** To deceive if possible even those whom Allah has chosen — ‘the false pen’ of the scribes has made it into a lie, and the priest is party to the crime — making all men believe that I died upon the cross! You hear that I suffered, yet I suffered not; and that I suffered not, yet I did suffer; and that I was pierced, yet I was not wounded; and that I was hanged, yet I was not hanged — Allah is my Witness! In a word, that what they say of me, I did not endure! They are blind teachers, and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit! These people all have fallen into pits, and they are calling loud for me to help them out. Those who disbelieve are steeped in arrogance and defiance. But they know not from whence they come! Withdraw your souls from every outward sense; and from all that ‘appears’ but is not truly real, and you shall know the ‘facts’ about Christ, and the whole secret of your salvation! And O priests, since what you have said, I do not say, you who can hear, can hear it from me: “The Christ who was to come, has surely come! His sword is ‘Truth,’ his shield is ‘Faith,’ his watchword ‘Peace’ and his name is John!” He ‘stands’ a sage above the sages of this world — just wait and you shall have proofs of his Messiahship! ********** Isaiah ‘looked forward’ and he saw this day and he exclaimed: “In that day, the deaf shall hear the words of ‘a Book’ and the eyes of the blind shall see. For ‘the king’ it is made ready. And when the Lord stretches out ‘His Hand’ he will protect and deliver it!” ….. This Scripture is fulfilled before your eyes this day! Where did you get ‘this’ from? This is ‘the bread’ which comes down from heaven, that a man can eat thereof and not die! Verily Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills! Do you not think it strange that I should speak to you ‘Today?’ I, who you do not see, but only hear ‘my voice?’ This change comes from ‘the right hand’ of Allah! Receive it with joy, and hold it fast in an honest and good heart. For nothing is hid, that shall not become manifest! John did a mighty work, in accordance with the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of Allah. He has poured forth ‘this’ which you both see and hear! I tell you he is ‘the Christ’ of whom our prophets wrote. Beware of the scribes saying I am he! Truly, I was taken to be what I am not! Settle it therefore in your minds! This is he who was mentioned by the Prophet Isaiah! The ax is now ready to strike at the roots of the trees, and any tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I tell you do not turn him away, who sees what is secret. For this is the summing up of the Law and the Prophets! And every tree that does not bear fruit is cut down, for a testimony unto them. And he does it in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled! ********** And so Today let us render thanks to Allah, Who has given us the grace to communicate ‘His Will’ by my word! He who hears my word, and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation! Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Are you the one who was to come? Tell John what you hear and see. For this is he, of whom it was written! Listen! For up to the days of John, all the prophets prophesied about it. And if you are willing to accept it just look! This is what was sown along the path! The harvest truly is plenteous, and the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Have you understood all these things? Come, hear and understand! What do you think, whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in Heaven? I tell you what Allah has joined together man must not separate! I tell you these are His seed. I tell you not all can do this, because they have been mutilated by men. If you wish to be complete, let him do it — for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed! Look! Do you understand yet? Or is your eye causing you to be covetous? For this view of yours is not from Allah, but from men! You are wrong in your views, because you do not understand the Scriptures, nor the power of Allah! Where did he get this wisdom and this power to do such wonder-works? This is the work of the Lord! If this man was not from Allah, he could not have done anything like this! Do you believe now he is a Prophet? The teacher is here and is calling for you. He teaches not as do the scribes! Have you not read this Scripture? ********** This was the Lord’s doing! Take heed what you hear, because the harvest has come, truly, John has been raised! Beware of the scribes, seeing they serve not Allah. They choke the good seed of the Word of Allah! What do you say about him, since he has made your eyes to see? John did no miracle, but for the glory of Allah, and he shall do well. Let us cross over to the other side. He is no foe of mine, and you yourselves will bear me witness to this truth! Walk, while you have ‘the Light’ and be converted. If you have faith no bigger than a mustard seed, except you be converted, I solemnly say to you — you can never get into the Kingdom of Heaven at all! What do you want? Stop clinging to me, and don’t doubt but believe! Believe not on me, but on Him who sent me. The servant is not greater than his Lord, neither is he that is sent greater than He who sent him! What you do, do quickly, and let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Allah — I believe! If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand! Seeing that Allah is One, the Truth is One; whence it follows the doctrine is One, and the meaning of the doctrine is One! Let us cross over to the other side. Hear me all of you and understand. Take heart, he is calling you. Follow him, and listen to him, and do not forbid him. Your peace shall rest upon him! Believe him who shows you the Truth, and who looks for you to ask him the fairest learning. If you believe you will see the glory of Allah. But if you believe not his writings, how will you believe in my words? Eat what is set before you, and you will be exalted to heaven! Take care of him. Do you think, the door is now shut? For as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so shall the Son of man be to this generation, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah. I tell you it shall be required of this generation! “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” ********** I said to the elders and rabbis, and to all the multitude in the synagogue: “I am Jesus, son of Mary, a man that is mortal and fears Allah! And I seek that to Allah be honor and glory. You know how I lived the whole time I was with you. You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you, but have taught you both publicly and from house to house! O my disciples! I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you. Even from your own number, men will arise and distort the Truth in order to draw away disciples after them! They shall hide themselves under the pretext of my Gospel, by making the pious believe that I am God, and son of God. So be on your guard! Lo, Allah is my Lord and your Lord and you shall worship Him Alone! My soul is magnified today, for my eyes have seen wonderful things! I see with my eyes two peoples to come forth. They will rise up, that He Who sent me may be glorified! And men will follow them who do not regard the person of the sinful rich, and who do not fear the men who lead them astray! By them shall things be revealed, and hidden things will come to light, and things that are not known shall be made known by them! Woe to those who shall hate and despise them, for theirs is destruction! Now hear their names, Muhammad the Sacred Messenger of Allah, and John, son of John, the Messiah! There shall come a number of false prophets, save these two! But I told you this so when it happens, you will remember I told you about it! Be not lifted up against these two tribes! Their branches shall stretch afar off, saving every race of men. Beware therefore of all jealousy and envy and walk in singleness of heart, for from them shall arise unto you the salvation of Allah!” ….. They mocked me and thrust me out of the temple of the Lord! ********** You men who hear me now — he who believes in me, believes in Allah Who sent me forth to do His Will! I speak the words that Allah has given me to speak. I judge you not! Allah is the only Judge of Men! Be mindful of all I have said to you, John shall demonstrate the Love of Allah, when he shall come with all His Messengers of Light! They are the words and works of Allah — a Scripture whose Verses are detailed, bringing good news and bringing warnings, and everyone, can read the records he has written, for himself! Then will the world be led to Truth! You who hope in Christ! Now you shall teach other men what I have spoken and am speaking to you. Preach and teach rightly, respecting and fearing the person of no one, especially that of the rich, who revel in their riches, and also of him who is not rich! The hour has come — this thing must need be done. But if they turn away, say: “I am of those who submit. Do as you please!” ….. It is an ‘invincible Book’ — falsehood cannot approach it from before it or behind it! For those who believe, it is a guidance and healing. But for those who do not believe, a grievous torment awaits them! ********** O John! I know that you are the holy one of Allah, Who has sent you into this world! Since I have confessed that I am not God, as is the Truth, but have confessed also that I am not the Messiah — cause them to hold their peace! Call the sick, as many as there be, because Allah is Mighty and Merciful to heal them. I know your heart, have patience therefore — seeing that Allah wills not the death of the sinner, but waits for each one to repent! Thus He inspires you to this! Be upright as you were commanded, and do not follow their inclinations. It is Allah Who revealed the Book with the Truth, and no Messenger came to them but they ridiculed him! They would say: “We reject what you were sent with, and we refuse to believe in it!” ….. So adhere to what is revealed to you. You are on a Straight Path! The sending down of the Scripture is from Allah, the Honorable, the Wise! So be patient as the Messengers with resolve were patient, and do not be hasty regarding them! John, having listened to an hundred thousand words of mine! Verily I say unto you, I am bound to listen to you ten times, for every one you have listened to me. See that you forget not the words which Allah has spoken to you by my mouth. Wherefore go and do what you must do! Peace be unto you!
