I love Jesus as a son of marry an article by a Hebrew Rahim for Muslim matters.org. From a distance you notice his aura, piercing brilliant and engaging. The choices praise and mercy of Allah be upon him the anointed one, and mercy. Isa, Jesus, the son of Mary was flesh and blood, human, the proclaimed Word of God, I can picture him, praise and mercy of Allah be sent to him from the detailed descriptions provided about him in our sacred texts. He is of average height, not too tall that he stands out in a crowd, nor too short that you notice the disparity between him and others. gentleness and modesty define his character. When he spoke, the disciples paid heed the words he

00:00:50--> 00:01:30

chose, of course, were divinely inspired and concurrent to all that they knew. A flowing head of hair that settled upon His shoulder blades distinguishing him from others. From a distance, you would mistakenly suppose that his hair was wet, and that drops of water were beating off of it. They are in fact pearls dropping from his hair wherever he bows his head slightly to acknowledge those who recognize him. From a young age, really young age, something about him was different to all other male children born into this world, he never cried. Rather, he spoke with intelligent fluency and cognitive wisdom from the moment he entered life. As his mother, the pure virgin Mary, peace of

00:01:30--> 00:02:10

God be upon her stood in prayer in an inner sanctum of the Jerusalem temple, the angel Gabriel came to her in the form of a man. With unwavering devotion and certainty of faith, she asked in the name of the Most Merciful The man to do her no harm. He explained that he was an emissary, set from high above Tbit. Her good tidings marry, or medium was protected from birth by Allah, in honor of her mother's supplication and intention to place her unborn child in the service of the Almighty. Mary grew up to become the chosen woman. She would converse with the angels who would pray to the Almighty along with her and bring her gifts from high above. Marry, you will carry a child, a child

00:02:10--> 00:02:55

destined to become a manifest sign onto humanity. How when, why, I had been with no man, how can this be? The likeness of the immaculate, virginal conception of Jesus by His mother Mary is similar to the initial creation of humanity through Adam. In fact, the creation of Adam is more astounding. Adam prays and mercy of Allah be upon him was brought into life from clay, be the word of Allah be and it is. Mary, you are now heavy with the weight of a pure male child, the word of Allah. Jesus always taught the Word of Allah. before receiving the gospel at a young prepubescent age, Jesus would teach the Torah to the rabbis he encountered. Jesus is a blessing wherever he is, food that

00:02:55--> 00:03:35

was sufficient for 10 would throw Allah's blessing provided in honor of Jesus amplify to feed hundreds if not 1000s. Jesus, praise and mercy of Allah be sent to him with the power given to him by Allah would move the shape of a bird out of clay and breathe on it and it would become alive. Word quickly began to spread that a new teacher had arrived. The children of Israel were accustomed to prophets and messengers, Allah would send a multiplicity of prophets Peace be upon all of them to Benny Swati, the children of Israel, Zachariah and yet here, my namesake, more commonly known as John the Baptist, along with Jesus and others, all were prophets of the Almighty. All the prophets

00:03:35--> 00:04:12

and messengers are brothers through bloodlines that lead back to Abraham and beyond to Noah, peace be upon them all. They all call their respective communities to the same message. unadulterated monotheism, only the one God is worthy of devotion and worship. And in their footsteps, we sent Jesus the son of Mary confirming the law that had came before him. We sent him the gospel if there was guidance and light and confirmation of the law that had come before him, a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah. Let the people of the gospel judge by what Allah had revealed they're in. If any, do fail to judge by the light of what Allah has revealed, they are no better

00:04:12--> 00:04:51

than those who rebel. The Quran surah five and Medha verses 46 to 47. Mary may God's peace be upon her hit the news and conceal her pregnancy by moving away from the duration of her nine months alone and without guidance from others the pangs of labor came upon her, exhausted and without he lamented her condition and wished to have rather never been born. She could sense the enormity of the mission that lay ahead of her. Soon she would return to her family and people with a child who was without father. Accusations was certainly manifest and callous tongues would wag To whom does this child belong? How could you shame your family? Were you not the chase pupil of the prophet Zachariah?

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

Jesus praise and mercy of Allah be sent to him would debate the establishment, he would enjoy the good upon them and forbid the evil all the while he

00:05:00--> 00:05:10

would preach the mission to the Creator, come to the maker and seek His favor. He would recite to them the Torah and correct the alterations and corruption that had entered into it. He would speak and live out the Gospel.

00:05:11--> 00:05:50

The establishment cannot tolerate his message or more accurately, they despise the messenger, they would receive stories daily of Jesus, praise and mercy of Allah be sent to him curing the blind through his invocation of the Merciful One, they witnessed the dead being brought back to life by the will of Allah through Jesus. Nevertheless, their disbelief increased to a palpable level that Jesus could sense. The Quran says, and sort of Adam on verse 49, to 53, I, Jesus have come to the children of Israel to test the law which was before me, and to make lawful to part of what was before forbidden to you, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me. It

00:05:50--> 00:06:26

is God who is my Lord and your Lord, then worship Him. This is a way that is straight. When Jesus found disbelief on their part, he said, who will be my helpers to the work of God said the disciples, we are God's helpers. We believe in God, and do bear witness that we are Muslims. Our Lord, we believe in what you have revealed, and we follow the messenger, then write us down among those who bear witness. And Allah also says, In the Quran, and remember when Allah will say, on the Day of Resurrection, Oh, Jesus, son of Mary, remember my favorite to you and to your mother, when I supported you with the angel Gabriel, the Holy Spirit, so that you spoke to the people in the cradle

00:06:26--> 00:07:04

and in maturity. And when I taught you writing, and hikma the power of understanding the Torah and the Gospels, and when you made out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird by my permission, and you breathe into it, and it became a bird by my permission, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers by my permission, and when you brought forth the dead by my permission, and when I restrained the children of Israel from you, when they resolve to kill you since you came onto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said this is nothing but evident magic. Quran sort of in my diverse 110 Jesus praise and mercy of Allah be sent to him is what G worthy of esteem in this world

00:07:04--> 00:07:43

and the next MOBOTIX bless it, and a source of benefit for others. These two descriptions establish a man who is sound in his relationship with the Creator and the creation. His mother preceded him in gracious conduct and was honored with his guardianship medium, it has set up Mary endured the pain of labor and delivered Jesus singularly, but not independently. Allah sent the angels to quench her thirst by establishing a spring of water near her and commanding her to shake a date palm tree so as to nourish herself, and gain strength to face the adversity that was sure to follow. As expected, all who encountered her requested an explanation. She pointed to Jesus and said nothing. The Quran

00:07:43--> 00:08:20

records. At length she brought the baby to her people carrying him in her arms. They said, Oh, Mary, truly an amazing thing you have brought, Oh, sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother, a woman unchaste but she pointed to the beep. They said how can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle. He said, I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me revelation and made me a Prophet. And he has made me bless it wherever I be, and has enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live, he's made me kind to my mother and not overbearing or miserable. So peace be upon me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life

00:08:20--> 00:09:01

again. Such was Jesus, the son of Mary, a statement of truth about which they vainly disputes. Saul at Marian or the chapter of Mary, verse 27, to 35. From that day onwards, Jesus was a marked man, those who love the almighty loved him and cared for him and absorbed his blessing and teachings. Those who prefer the worldly life and its status opposed Jesus openly and privately, Assassination and murder on the hearts and minds of many. However, Jesus was destined for a greater purpose that was beyond the times he lived in, he would prophesy to his companions of the one who will come as a comfort to the worlds, some scholars point to, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you

00:09:01--> 00:09:41

another comforter, that he may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knoweth him, but you know him, for he dwelleth with you, shall be any John, verses 14 to 16 and 14 to 17. As Muslims, we refer to Muhammad, praise and mercy of Allah be upon him as a llama 10 Did it mean the mercy or comfort to all that exists? Jesus was saved by Allah from the hate of those plotting his death. The Quran says they have incurred divine displeasure, and that they broke their covenant that they rejected the signs of Allah that they slew the messengers in defiance of right that they said Our hearts are the wrappings which

00:09:41--> 00:09:59

preserve Allah's word we need no more name. Allah has set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy and little it is that they believe that they rejected faith that they uttered against Mary gray false charge that they set in both we killed Christ Jesus the son of married the Messenger of Allah, but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so was made to appear to them

00:10:00--> 00:10:17

and those who differ there in are full of doubts with no certain knowledge, but only conjecture to follow four of the shorty they killed him not name Allah who raised him onto himself and Allah is Exalted in Power and Wise and there is none of the people of the book, but must believe in him before his death and on the Day of Judgment, he will be a witness against them.

00:10:19--> 00:10:57

Sorta Nyssa Nisa are the chapter of women, verses 155 to 159. So in heaven, awaiting instruction from Allah to return as the Geraldo did Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary resides, his mother conception birth, speaking in infancy, teaching the Torah and pubescence receiving the divine answer to supplications in the assistance of curing the blind, deaf and leper, his raising the dead, his ascension to Heaven and escape from death and his eventual return as the Messiah, are all signs of the Almighty is power and unchallenged and indivisible authority. Allah says in the Quran, behold, Allah said, Oh, Jesus, I will take you and raise you to myself and clear you of the falsehoods of

00:10:57--> 00:11:20

those who blasphemy. I will make those who follow you superior to those who reject Faith to the Day of Resurrection, then you shall all return to me and I will judge between you of the matters wherein you dispute so that Allah Imran are the chapter of the Family of Imran verse 55. How can anyone not accept Jesus in their life?
