00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Prophet Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, gave
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			life to the dead.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			Whereas Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			not done any such miracle.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:09
			Who is greater?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			A person who can give life to the
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			dead or a person who cannot give life
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			to the dead?
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said, it
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			number 24, verse number 24, for there shall
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			arise many false Christs and false prophets and
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			they shall show you wonders, miracles and signs.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			So much so, if possible, they shall deceive
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			the very elect.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			So from this verse of the Bible, we
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			clearly understand that Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			him, he said, that there shall arise false
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			Christs and false prophets and if possible, they
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			shall deceive the very elect.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			They shall show wonders and miracles and signs
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and if possible, they shall deceive the very
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			elect.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			What does it mean that they shall deceive
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			the very elect?
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			The very elect, it refers to the apostles
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			disciples of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			So therefore, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			made it clear that miracles is not the
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			sign that a person is greater.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			Miracles is not the sign for a person
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			to be a prophet of God.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			Miracles is not a sign for a person
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			to be greater and in fact, Jesus Christ,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			peace be upon him, said, it is mentioned
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			in the Gospel of John, chapter number 11,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			verse number 41, as well as verse number
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			42.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, says, Father,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			I thank Thee for Thou hast heard me
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			and Thou hears me every time for it
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			is for the people for whom Thou I
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			have been sent.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			So that Thou will believe, will believe in
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			me and will believe in what I have
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			come forth, come with.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			And in verse number 43, Jesus Christ, peace
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			be upon him, says, Lazarus, come forth.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			He says in a loud voice, Lazarus, come
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			forth.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			So if we read the verses of Gospel
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			of John, chapter number 11, verse number 41,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			42 and 43, we shall understand that Jesus
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Christ, peace be upon him, he gave life
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			to the dead, but it was only because
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			of the permission of Almighty God.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			It was only by the permission of Almighty
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			God.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			In fact, all the prophets of Almighty God,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			they did miracles, but it was only by
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			the permission of Almighty God, including Jesus Christ,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			peace be upon him, whatever miracles he did,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			including giving life to the dead, it was
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			only by the permission of Almighty God.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			the glorious Quran in Surah Al-e-Imran,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			chapter number 3, verse number 49, وَالرَّسُولًا إِلَىٰ
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلٍ And a messenger has been appointed
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			to the children of Israel.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			أَنِّي قَدْ جِئتُكُم بِآيَةٍ مِّن رَبِّكُمْ I have
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			come with a sign from your Lord.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْطِينِ كَهِيَةِ الطَيِّبِ فَأَنْفُخُوا
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			فِيهِ فَيَكُونْ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ For it is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			clay, and it is in a figure of
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			a bird, and I breathe into it.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			And it turns into a bird by the
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			وَأُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَا وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَأُحِيِ الْمَوْتَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ And
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			I heal those born blind and lepers, and
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			I give life to the dead by the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			I heal the lepers and the people who
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			are blind, and I give life to the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			dead by the permission of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:12
			ta'ala.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			وَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ And
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			I inform you that what you eat and
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			what you store in your houses.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			So from this verse of Surah Al-Imran,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			chapter number 3, verse number 49, we clearly
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			understand that Jesus Christ peace be upon him,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			he did miracles.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			But all of these miracles, they were by
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			the permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			He healed those born blind by the permission
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			He healed the lepers by the permission of
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			He gave life to the dead by the
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			He informed the people what they ate and
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			what they stored in their houses by the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			So all these miracles that were performed by
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Jesus Christ peace be upon him, they were
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			only by the permission of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			ta'ala.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			but if the Christian argues and says no
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			no no Jesus Christ peace be upon him
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			he gave life to the dead therefore he's
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			greater than Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			then if I agree or if we agree
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			with this Christian for the sake of argument
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			then Moses peace be upon him he should
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			be greater because besides giving life to the
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			dead he converted vegetable kingdom into animal kingdom
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			when he converted or turned the stick into
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			a snake by the permission of Allah subhanahu
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			wa'ta'ala so therefore if a person does
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			miracles that does not make him greater I
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			hope that answers your question
