Who is Jesus Christ
(Sayyidna Al Masih)?

The Holy Injil tells us that Abraham anticipated the day of Jesus, in that he looked forward to it. He well understood that no animal blood could redeem his son from death, for only a "tremendous Victim" could do that. How did Abraham look forward to the coming of Jesus?

The enemies of Jesus (Issa) were unfair and false when they accused him of trying to make himself God. He never claimed to do such a thing. Man cannot make himself to be God! What Jesus did claim was that God had condescended to reveal himself in a man. The movement was not from earth up to heaven, but from heaven down to earth. We cannot find fault with Allah’s loving revelation of himself, proceeding from heaven to earth. Would not finding fault be blasphemy?

Jesus asked a question of the Jews: "‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?’" He asks us the same question. Was he a liar or did he tell the truth? This is a supremely important question, for we cannot get the problems of life straightened out until we answer it correctly.

Jesus will return again, and we shall all see him. Our standing then will depend on the answer we give to this honest question now.

The honoured Qur’an teaches us to expect the second coming of Jesus in power and glory (see chapter 13 of this book). Why will Allah send him again? Would it not seem more reasonable and appropriate for him to send the prophet of Islam a second time? No, we find that it will be Jesus who will be sent the second time. What is the reason for this very special honour to be shown to Jesus?

Consider the many unique aspects of his nature, his character, and his life.
