Prophet Jesus The Last Messenger To The Children Of Israel

Almighty Allah had sent many prophets to the children of Israel from the tribe of Prophet Jacob (pbuh), Sura 45:16. The reason why Allah kept on sending prophets was to keep these people on the right path. Unfortunately they not only deviated from the right path but also killed the prophets who belonged to their own tribes (e.g. Prophet Zachariah (pbuh) and his son, Prophet John the Baptist (pbuh). Numerous times throughout history false prophets arose to confuse the people. During the time of Prophet Jeremiah (pbuh) there was a false prophet named Hanainah.

The Almighty Allah gave them the last chance for guidance from among them, and sent Prophet Jesus (pbuh), Sura 43:81 and Sura 5:72-75. This guidance was sent along with strong proof and evidence. Still they rejected this last chance. They tried but failed to kill Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as Allah saved and raised him to heaven Psalm 34:15-23, Psalm 20:6-9, Matthew 4: 6-7, Luke 4: 10-11, Sura 3:55, Allah not only sent them Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to help them correct their false ways, but allowed the Jews and all other nations for 600 years to correct themselves and follow the will of Allah.

After 600 years, Almighty Allah sent the last Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) - a descendant from Prophet Ishmael (pbuh) to fulfill the religion for all nations. With Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Allah sent his complete support and guidance until the Day of Judgment. Prophet Jesus (pbuh) delivered Allah’s message to his people, but his (disciples) companions did not preserve all of his teachings. His (disciples) companions were tortured and abused by the Romans and by Jewish leaders.

Psalm 34: 16-23

16. The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.

17. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

18. They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.

19. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

20. Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

21. He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

22. Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

23. The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

Psalm 20: 7-10

7. Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

8. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

9. They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen, and stand upright.

10. Save, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.

Matthew 4: 6-7

6. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, least at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Luke 4:10-11

10. For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

11. And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Allah had sent many prophets to the children of Israel from the tribe of Prophet Jacob (pbuh)

Sura 45: 16

16. We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure; and We favoured them above the nations.

Allah gave the Children of Israel the last chance for guidance from among them and sent Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

Sura 43: 81

81. Say: "If ((Allah)) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship."

and Sura 5: 72-75

72. They do blaspheme who say: "(Allah) is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help. 73. They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

74 Why turn they not to Allah, and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.

75. Christ the son of Mary was no more than an apostle; many were the apostles that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!

The Children of Israel tried but failed to kill Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as Allah saved and raised him to heaven.

Sura 3:55

55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the son of Mary:

In the past, many nations have called their great leaders names such as, king, lord or even God. Even if used were the word God, they do not mean the creator of the Universe. They use the word God, just to describe or show the greatness of that person. These words of greatness are merely a part of a specific language, and were never intended to be the reason or purpose for worship.

In Matthew 12:28, we see the phrase “Spirit of God”. This term is similar to the Hebrew word “Beteyel” which as a place of worship is translated to be “House of God”.

Everyone understands that God does not actually live in that place like we do in a house. In Isaiah 7:14 the word “Immanuel” is used. The Hebrew word translates to mean “God with us”. This word is used to show us that God has given Jesus and his followers help, protection, and guidance. And not that God has come to us.
