The Mahdi and the Messiah

Peace be unto you all and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path'.

As I said in my first post, many people are aware due to all of the signs that have occurred in succession this past 100 years that we are currently living in the end times. That being the case, the Muslims are awaiting the Mahdi and the return of the prophet Jesus (pbuh), the Christians are awaiting the return of Jesus (pbuh) and the Jews are awaiting the Messiah. In this post I will inform you of the hidden knowledge in the scriptures regarding all this and by the time you finish reading this post, insh'Allah, you will know that I am truthful and am indeed knowledgeable about these facts.

In truth the Mahdi is the Messiah and is the last Prophet to mankind. I will illustrate through the scriptures who he is and why the people of today are completely unaware of the fact that the Prophethood continues as well as the revelations of Allah and they did not end with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Please read this parable from the Holy Bible:

Matt 13:24-30–24) Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25) but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26) But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27) So the servants of the owner came and said to him, `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' 28) He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29) But he said, `No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30) Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."

The owner of the field is Allah and the field represents the scriptures. The servants of the field are Allah's messengers, the Prophets, who all put forth good seed or truthful words. Our enemy, the devil, put the tares in the field, or the false words of the scribes. Now is the time of harvest when the wheat or good words are separated from the tares and then put together to form the Book, The Sacred Treasury.

Every word of the Book comes from all the other books that contain actual revelation. Whether it be the Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an, Book of Mormon, Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi Library, Rig Vedas, Buddha Text, Gnostic Gospels, and many more. Many of these books have the true words of Allah that He spoke through His Prophets but they are mixed in with the words of man. Allah knew this was going to happen and it is His Messiah or Christ which both mean Anointed or Chosen One's duty, to recognize these words, by the power of Allah and bring them together so that we may all see the Truth.

Because of the tares that were placed in the field, or the false words that were placed in the scriptures, we are completely unaware that there is a Holy Prophet sent to us in this day and that he is the Messiah! Shaytan has been successful in deceiving mankind and has led us far astray. He has caused both Muslims and Christians to believe Jesus (pbuh) to be the Messiah in the hopes that they will not recognize the true Messiah when he comes. Not only have the scribes given this Prophet's title to another, but they have also written him off as dead for that same purpose- to make sure that we are not looking for him and do not accept him when he comes.

That man is none other than the Prophet John (pbuh) whom we all believe to have come and gone in the person of John the Baptist. Let us look to the scriptures:

Matt 11:13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Luke 16:16
 The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.

Here John is set as a distinct barrier, but the words are changed to past tense so we think that the time has already come and gone so that we do not look forward to it. The scribes even boasted of this feat by claiming he was beheaded, when in fact he is the head of Prophecy, the True Messiah and the Mahdi who shall restore religion to it's original form, void of man's manipulations.

He shall do this by the means explained in the parable above, separating the wheat from the tares and gathering them together. The Sacred Treasury, that has been formed by this means, is an eloquent Qur'an and a distinct explanation of all things. It is the gift of Allah and by following the Book and the Messenger we shall find Eternal Salvation.

I will show you an example of this separation and the means by which the Book came into being. Please read only the highlighted words in the following excerpt from the Holy Bible.

John 5:28-47
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John and he "bare" witness unto the truth., 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

As you can see, the true words of the Prophets have been cut up and spread out so that scarcely is the Truth found. What was presented above, is the prophet Jesus (pbuh) speaking to us. In this manner, through the Book, he comes alive and testifies to us which is his second coming! In fact all the Prophets come to life in the Book which is also alive and testify to the Truth of the Messenger. This is something which is alluded to in the Holy Qur'an, chapter 3 verses 81 to 82.

81 Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an apostle, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses. 82 If any turn back after this, they are perverted transgressors."

Jesus (pbuh) says in the previous quote from the Holy Bible that John is the Prophet which is to come into the world. We should be expecting a Prophet because every Prophet spoke of the Messiah, or final Prophet. This Prophet is described in Deuteronomy and likened unto Moses (pbuh).

Deuteronomy 18:18-19 

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. 19 And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.

 

 Also in Acts 3:22:

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Muslims believe the Prophet who was to come like unto Moses (pbuh) is Muhammad (pbuh) while Christians believe that it is Jesus (pbuh). Well what would make one like unto Moses (pbuh)?

Moses (pbuh) had a natural birth, he had a brother among other siblings and being educated in Pharaoh's house, he could read and write, he became a Prophet when he reached maturity and he died a natural death.  His people were enslaved in a land not theirs for 400 years.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), although having a natural birth, was an only child and in fact an orphan. He could neither read nor write and his people were not enslaved. The prophet Jesus (pbuh) had a miraculous birth, never reached maturity (40 years of age) and according to both Christians and Muslims did not have a natural death.

The Prophet John (pbuh) as, insh'Allah, you will come to know, had a natural birth, has one brother among other siblings, can read and write, became a Prophet after reaching manhood, and his people were enslaved and oppressed in another land for 400 years. He is the Prophet who is to come like unto Moses (pbuh) whom we should hear in all things, whom Allah has placed His words into his mouth, that he speaks in Allah's name and that we are required to hearken unto. He is the True Messiah!

Peace be unto you all and the blessings of Allah.

Corruption breads corruption, for the Bible is based on the words of man for what he thought god would say or do, it is not fact. There is no letter 'J' in the Hebrew alphabet but we have in English Jesus, corruption of fact. On his suposed death on a cross there were one million armed Zelots campted around that same place and they would not let a Jew die by the hands of Romans, so again a corruption of text.

If a religion is based on lies then their is no religion.

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Peace be unto you. I don't understand the basis of your comment for I never said the Bible was fact. If you read the post I said that not only the Bible but all of religion has been corrupted. The true Messiah has come to do away with all the lies that are in religion and restore it to it's original form so that we may truly know how to worship God correctly. The corruption was in place in order to turn people away from God and to misguide those who wish to worship God in truth.

I respect your point of view but do not agree with it. I believe in the Truth which the Messiah has brought and that I have seen with my own eyes. Soon enough he will present it for us all to see and it is up to you to believe in it or reject it. Peace be unto you.

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Peace be unto you. When I first published this post I made an error. In the section with the verses John 5:28-47 and John 6:14, "and he bare witness to the truth" was not highlighted as it should have been. I just wanted to point out the correction.

TrueMuslim said...

Oh c'mon!!! Prophet Muhammad PBUH has already said he is the Last and Final Prophet to mankind.
However, I congratulate you on your clever selection of verses and to twist them in your favour. John PBUH WAS a Prophet and he lived long ago. He was the son of Zakariyya PBUH. He was beheaded a Roman ruler. It is very clear that he is not the Mahdi.

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Peace be unto you. You speak concerning that which you have no knowledge. The scriptures were changed to make you believe as you do so that you will not recognize the truth. 

Think for a moment. Jesus (pbuh) was sent with the Gospel to mankind. He informed people of this prophet as well as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). But the people who believe that they follow his book, are taught that the revelations are finished and that there are no more prophets after him. Just as the Devil has tricked them, he has also tricked those of us who follow what Muhammad (pbuh) brought.

John (pbuh) is the heir to Zachariah (pbuh) who was a guardian of the Book. But the scriptures have been altered to make you believe he came in that time, when he has come in this day. The scribes say John (pbuh) was beheaded because he is the head of prophecy. As heir to Zachariah (pbuh) he too is the guardian of the Book and that is why he has the Book. You can either believe therein or believe not.

It is explained in the 'Sacred Treasury' in the chapter 'A Wise Reminder.'

 
                            A WISE REMINDER                          In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
 
 
Your companion is not astray, nor is he deceived! He is taught by one Mighty and Powerful. How can you doubt what he sees? He has revealed to you the Book with Truth—confirming what went before it. Some of its verses are ‘precise’ in meaning, and others ‘allegorical.’ It is ‘all’ from Our Lord, but only the wise take heed! How could anybody who did not know ‘these things’ say that he had been instructed? Allah invested no authority in them! They follow nothing but conjecture, and what their own souls desire—even though there has come to them Guidance from their Lord!
 
Allah does support with His Aid, whom He pleases—He is the Executor of Justice, and Master of the Kingdom! Allah gives to whom He pleases ‘without measure’ and when He decrees a plan, He need only say: “Be!”…..We are the Helpers of Allah, and this We recite to you is a ‘Revelation’ and a ‘Wise Reminder’—a mention of the Mercy of the Lord to His Servant, Zakariya!
 
Behold he cried to his Lord ‘in secret’ saying: “O my Lord, I fear my relatives after me, and since my wife is barren, grant me ‘an heir’ from Thy Presence—one who will represent me, and represent ‘the posterity’ of Jacob, and who will find grace in Your Sight.”………. “O Zakariya, accepted is your prayer. His name shall be John! He shall be a sign to mankind, it is a matter decreed. Their sight and hearing shall be sharpened, when the matter shall be fulfilled. Such is the decree of your Lord!”…..
 
                               **********
 
The king is born as appointed, yet of this they have no knowledge! Some of the People of the Book say to one another: “Do not believe that anyone will be given the like of that which you have been given”….. Give no heed! That is ‘the sum’ of their knowledge. They have a covering which is false, and yet do not discover it—because they are carried away by untruth!
 
Grace is in the Hands of Allah, and He bestows it on whom He pleases! Obtain the True Knowledge, please! Indeed this is from Allah. Does he know and can he see what is hidden? Is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses and of Abraham? None but Allah could disclose it!
 
While you amuse yourselves—the Hour is drawing near, and the moons ‘is cleft asunder!’ Every matter has its ‘appointed time’ so We opened the Gates of Heaven—a recompense for one who had been rejected and whom We saved at ‘the last watch’ of the night! He himself is indeed seen in all these, just as We are—well adorned! He knows it, and has shaken off all evil. We are a Victorious Army, and truly those is sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad!

TrueMuslim said...

Muhammad PBUH already said he's the last prophet and there WON'T COME a prophet after him. John PBUH is a prophet who came earlier. And do you think the words in the Holy Quran is twisted like the Bible??? The Quran was sent because the Bible was totally corrupt. The Quran is not changed. It is as it was revealed1400 years ago. And yet you claim Shaitan has twisted the words from the Quran! The Bible ofcourse has been modified over time so it can't be authentic. The Quran already mentions John's story. Your words from the Bible could convince a Christian but not a Muslim.

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Peace be unto you. I believe in the Holy Qur'an and so I shall call you to reflect upon the lessons it teaches us. We find in many Surah examples of the past repeating itself. Every time a prophet came, the people reject him and only a few believe in him. 

There are two lessons to be learned here. That when a prophet comes few people believe in him and that the past repeats itself. If we look at the past, and see how the Gospel of Jesus (pbuh) was altered causing those who follow it to believe that the book they have  is infallible and uncorrupted, is it then possible to imagine that the book prophet Muhammad (pbuh) brought was altered causing us to believe that it is infallible and uncorrupted when it is not?

We find this Hadith in Sahih Bukhari:

003.048.819 - Witnesses - - - - 
Narrated Zahdam bin Mudrab

I heard Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet said, 'The best people are those living in my generation, then those coming after them, and then those coming after (the second generation)." Imran said "I do notknow whether the Prophet mentioned two or three Generations after your present generation. The Prophet added, 'There will be some people after you, who will be dishonest and will not be trustworthy and will give witness (evidences) without being asked to give witness, and willvow but will not fulfill their vows, and fatness will appear among them."

As you can see there were untrustworthy generations only two or three following the prophet (pbuh) who would have had hold of the Qur'an, vowed to keep it unchanged and broken their vows. They would have given false witness where they are not asked for witness. Such as testifying that Muhammad (pbuh) is the final messenger.

 This indeed leads open the possibility that the Qur'an was altered. Especially if you take into account the fact that all of the trusted successors to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in those best generations were murdered, killed and poisoned! Look it up. 

Were you there to know for certain the truth of what transpired? No!

Isa ibn Yahya said...

And here we have this man John (pbuh) who has witnesses such as Jesus (pbuh) testifying as to who he is. How can we tell he is truthful? Listen to the message he brings. You say that it is a sealed book. This man is well prepared by Allah for your arguments against him.

We see in 'The Sacred Treasury' in the chapter entitled 'A Gracious Messenger' your argument is addressed. And here we have another lesson from the past:

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

...Ever bursting with ‘new growth’—this is a discerning utterance! Surely in the tale of Joseph and his brothers there are signs for doubting men!…..Stained with false blood; and when he ‘reached maturity’ We bestowed on him Wisdom and Knowledge; if it is torn from the back, then he is telling the Truth; yet most men do not know it—the king’s drinking cup!…..By the Lord, that which We now reveal to you is ‘secret history’ most men will not believe. Can you not understand?
 
This is no invented tale, yet the unbelievers still deny it! But Allah knows best the falsehoods they believe in—when others measure for them. “It is a sealed book!”…..the evildoers who—when Our revelations are recited to them cry: “No!!!” Their own deeds have cast a veil over their hearts!
 
It is a ‘sealed Book’—seen only by those who are closest to Allah! Let him who will bear this in mind. It is set down on ‘honored pages’ purified and exalted—which We kept in a ‘safe receptacle’ for an appointed time! Follow its words attentively and keep away from all pollution. For your Lord’s sake it leaves nothing—so that those to whom the Scriptures were given may be convinced, and the True believers strengthened in their faith!

----------------------------------

What are the signs from the tale of Joseph (pbuh) for those who doubt? 

•"Stained with false blood."  The prophet John (pbuh) has false blood on him and was thought to be dead, just as Joseph (pbuh) was thought to be dead by his father because of the false blood his brothers put on his clothes! 

•"When he 'reached maturity' We bestowed on him Wisdom and Knowledge." John was completely unaware of this Wisdom and Knowledge and of who he was until he reached maturity, a full 40 years of age.

•"If it is torn from the back then he is telling the Truth." John's (pbuh) name was torn from the back of the chain of prophets. He is the last prophet to come but the scribes tore him off of the back of the list and put him earlier in the chain. It is torn from the back and he is telling the truth!

•"Yet most men do not know it—the king’s drinking cup!" Very few people know this, but John (pbuh) was given the king's drinking cup. He saw the sky part and was given a cup to drink from. That cup was the king's drinking cup which gave him the ability to interpret the scriptures and separate the truth from falsehood, or the wheat from the tares!

Do not let others measure for you! Which is what you do when you say the book is sealed. This is secret history of which you know nothing about. Listen to the message of his words so that you may learn the truth and be rightly guided. These words have been purified and were kept away from the eyes of man until this time. If you are a true believer in Allah you will not deny His revelations, but accept this truth which will only strengthen your faith!

Peace be unto you and the blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to a 'Straight Path.'

As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu, Dark Kid! This is how us Muslims greet each other! Or I could say Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah. 'Hello' is not in the repertoire!

Do you practice the Sunnah? If so, where is it derived from? Ah-Hadith? It appears you want to quibble! First off what was presented in the post was to prepare people for the Messiah. Many Muslims are looking forward to this. If you are not that is your right. Let's forget about Al Mahdi! If you study the Qur'an, Jesus (pbuh) is mentioned many many times. Every time he is mentioned it is followed by ibn Maryam. Jesus, son of Mary not Jesus Christ which is found in abundance in the Bible. Search the Scriptures!

As for a Savior, that was never stated in the blog. Allah (SWT) is our only Savior. A prime example, I never mentioned savior yet subliminally it entered your mind. This is what the distorters of Truth wanted to do with Christ (which is the same as Messiah) and Jesus (pbuh). When you hear one you automatically think of the other subconsciously! Jesus (pbuh) mentioned in the Bible about Rasululah (pbuh) but he is referred to as 'the Comforter.' But if we look deeper he also mentions 'another comforter,' so basically he mentions 2 prophets to follow him. Sure it is obscure for that was the intention of the distorters of Truth!

You mention in your comment about thousands of companions of the prophet. I beg to differ. He had 'thousands' of followers there is a difference! Sahaba or companions were few in number and they led the ummah after his demise. Unlike him, none of them died a natural death. Why? Because of the munafaqim (hypocrites!) Enemies of Islam. As for the written word, Abu Bakr had to destroy many Qur'an's because they did not conform to what Rasululah (pbuh) brought. And this was SHORTLY after the Prophet's demise!

I'm only saying these things in response to what you've said. This response took so long because I wasn't going to respond at all. But please do tell me your thoughts. May Allah guide us all to the 'Straight Path.' Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.

Hi,

Isa ibn Yahya, you are the sign of which Allah swt warned people aboout.

Firstly, trying to have an islamic name, secondly - trying to talk about islam and then preaching christianity. Third - twisting the scriptures to suit yourself.

You are only decieving yourself, I swear on the Lord who created Jesus that you will repent (be it now or in the hereafter)..

O misguided individual. Fear Allah swt and realise jesus is merely a messenger and not a son (which god begot)..

Fool yourself not.

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Peace be unto you anonymous. First of all, my name IS Isa ibn Yahya. This is the name given to me at birth and it is who I am. Who are you? What is the name given to you?

Secondly, I am not preaching Christianity. I fear Allah (SWT) alone and I bid you to praise Allah (SWT) alone and not to associate any with Him. I even have a post explaining how Jesus (pbuh) is clearly Muslim according to all that he says in the Bible. If you think I am preaching Christianity, then perhaps you did not quite comprehend what was written and should look at it again?

Third, I am not twisting the scriptures nor do I see the benefit I would receive from it. The scriptures have already been twisted, of which I am aware and you are not. If you cannot accept that all of the scriptures have been twisted, and that today what you follow is filled with the doctrines of men; if you are not open to the possibility that you have been deceived by the Devil and you do not have the whole truth, then you have shut yourself off from the Truth which is with Allah (SWT).

All that I have written I have learned from the Prophet John (pbuh) who is alive and well today. He has cleared the mote out of my eye so that I may see clearly and cast the mote from my brother's eye, which is what I am trying to do. Would you argue that Prophecy and the Revelations of Allah (SWT) are complete? For only Allah (SWT) knows the number of His Prophets and His Words can never be finished!

[18:109] Say: Though the sea became ink for the Words of my Lord, verily the sea would be used up before the Words of my Lord were exhausted. And [thus it would be] if we were to add to it sea upon sea."

This Prophet who I follow, who is the 'Mahdi' or 'Rightly Guided One,' will lead us into all Truth. But one must be humble enough to admit that they are wrong and be willing to accept correction if they wish to follow him. To him all the Prophets (peace be upon them) give witness, as they have made a covenant to do so (Holy Qur'an 3:81-82). They come alive and speak in 'The Sacred Treasury,' the book which he comes with and I have explained in this post.

Wouldn't you like to see this Book? Or will you treat it just as the Christians treat the Qur'an, and say that there are no more Prophets and that Allah's revelations are complete?

For that is the trap the Devil has set so that you will be deceived into rejecting the Truth when it comes to you.

O misguided individual. Fear Allah (SWT) and realize that the Truth is with Him alone. And He guides whom He will to a 'Straight Path.'

Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah (SWT). May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path.'

Hey this is BlankAngel from Y/A and I msut say you are very interesting once more. I finally clicked on your link and I cannot deem you false yet unless I truly study what you are saying. Yes, I am open minded but I do believe that Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) is the final law bearing prophet and the idea of John(pbuh) being the Mahadi does't sound like it is supported by Qur'an but seem to be only influenc by biblical scriptures. Why is that??

Isa ibn Yahya said...

Asalamualaikum sister. Actually it does not explicitly say anywhere who the Prophet John (pbuh) really is because the distorters of Truth did not want us to know. The parts of the Bible that I quoted had been taken out of context because it is the context of the words that lead us to confusion. The scribes put stories around the true words so that we would not be able to comprehend them. There are however some clues in the Qur'an about the Prophet. Please look at this verse which is speaking about John (pbuh):

[19:15]
Wasalamun AAalayhi yawma wulida wayawma YAMOOTU wayawma yubAAathu

So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he DIES, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!

It says peace be on him the day that he DIES as opposed to died, because he has not yet come and died. In fact the name Yahya means alive. It's root yuhye means life. Thus we have yuhye wayumeetu, the Giver of Life (when speaking about Allah (SWT)). Allah (SWT) gave His Prophet this name so that we would know He is alive!

As for why we do not have the knowledge of all this, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) addresses all this in the chapter from 'The Sacred Treasury,' 'Muhammad Speaks.' Here is an excerpt from that chapter:

Isa ibn Yahya said...

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

...Guard yourselves against evil, and those things which are ‘far from the Truth!’ Now these things I put you in mind of, for these are the Days of Vengeance, and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming—even now there has come to be ‘many antichrists!’ Their intention is to extinguish Allah’s Light with ‘their mouths’ and to stir up the hearts of men with anger. They are not all alike, take heed—that they may be revealed to you now, for they are many!

Those of you who say: “We are Muslim!”….. and those of you who are Jews, Sabeans, and Christians—whosoever believes in ‘Allah and the Last Day’ and does right—listen to what I am going to tell you, and believe in the Truth! Of ‘Knowledge’ it is only ‘a little’ that is communicated to you! The kings of the earth set themselves ‘against Allah’ and ‘against His Anointed’ and as often as a Messenger came unto them with what their souls desired not—some they called ‘liars’ and some they slew. Beware of the ‘scribes and learned’—they ‘bend themselves’ under the judgments of the leaders! They sought to entice you from Our Revelations—to substitute in Our name something quite different, because they disbelieved in Our Revelations and said: “If you had control of the Mercy of Our Lord, you would ‘hold them back!”…..

Lo, they are friends one to another—‘authorities of darkness!’ Why is it you did not know this? Being advocates of ‘death’ rather than ‘Truth’—they did not desire it! That is why I tell you now. They knew this—and ‘affirmed a lie for Truth’ to all men! The rulers wanted to deceive man, and said: “Come, ‘lie’ with us, and let us kill this man—for he shall be of no use to us! If you do not help us, we will be unable to resist him. We will grant you ‘many immunities’ and give gifts, and we will repay you with good what you do for us. Now therefore consider what you will do—all of you! Because of this Messiah, no one will be troubled. How will we be able to withstand him? When will his kingdom come? Give here ‘your advice and counsel’—for he will surely defeat us!”….. They replied: “No one ‘knows the hour’ and they are unable to discern the Truth—for ‘great is the blindness’ of those who read! Come, let us ‘lay hold of it’ by means of the form we have modeled and ‘prophesy deceits!’—that they may not know how ‘to comprehend’ the things that are said! As long as ‘the hour’ has not yet come, do like this, and say….. ‘What you look forward to has already come!’…..All but ‘killing him’—he would be called dead, for many will accept our teaching in the beginning since they are without perception! They will cleave to the name of ‘a dead man’—thinking they will become pure, and ‘he’ will learn no Wisdom at all when he comes. For who will be able to discover the Counsel of the Almighty or proclaim it correctly? He will be unable to see the Light!”…..

Behold, this is True, as Allah lives! What a ‘favor’ they did for them! Every prophecy have they corrupted in so much, that Today a thing is not sought because Allah commanded it, but men look whether the doctors say it. As though Allah was in error, and men could not err! From them shall be ‘taken away’ even what they have—as it is written: “For the wisdom of their wise men, shall perish, and those who ‘erred in spirit, shall come to understanding!”…..

Isa ibn Yahya said...

...Satan ever seeks to annul the Laws of Allah! Who has instructed you? What is your opinion? The Book ‘has been placed’ that you may know the Truth, and you will see the guilty ‘terrified of its contents.’ The Lord shall have them in derision! They will ‘plainly’ show themselves your enemies, and will stretch out ‘their hands and tongues’ with evil—for they kept believing they would not have to endure these things!

When you hear these sayings coming forth among you: “The Lord no longer works by revelation!”….. “Hearken to us and it shall be well. Touch not the things which are sealed!”…..“We have received, and we need no more. He has forged it!”…..and, “He has no understanding, a mortal has taught him!”…..See that you are not troubled, depart from them all, and follow not ‘their desires!’ Because his instruction is good! He invites you, while they reprove you. They are in error, so leave them alone, and be instructed! Cast the ‘deceitfulness of the devil’ from you!

Your enemies mustered a great force against you! You think of them as one band—yet their hearts are divided! Most of them ‘do not know’ that they are in error—not knowing the majesty of Allah and how great and wonderful He is! There are some who are righteous, but not according to ‘Knowledge.’ If they shall have sense in their hearts of what they have done amiss—they shall acknowledge their evil deeds and repent! Some of them are ‘believers’—having their thoughts toward Allah. So they ‘shall acknowledge’ their sins, and forthwith understand it. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and indeed ‘closer’ shall they be brought!

Most of them are ‘ignorant men’—they never sought out the Truth, nor inquired concerning the majesty of Allah! On these will Allah have Mercy if they repent, but if they give no heed—theirs shall be a woeful punishment! I hope that ‘all’—when they hear these things, shall repent and add no more to their sins. For ‘the leaders’ of these people cause them to err! I have seen ‘this people’ and behold, it is a ‘stiff neck’ people! This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me—because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger! They use their Faith as a disguise, and debar others from the ‘Path of Allah!’

When you see them, their looks please you—whereas ‘in fact’ they are your ‘most deadliest opponents’ for ‘their hearts’ are not right with Him! Surely they are ‘liars’ all, who come to you in ‘sheep’s clothing’ but inwardly are ‘ravenous wolves’—‘listeners’ for another people, who come not to you. They are the ‘party of Satan’ and are well pleased with him! Do they know that Allah knows their secret, and their secret counsels with the elders who are set over them? They determined a plot that they were unable to carry out! Their hearts are sealed, and so they understand not—to Whom ‘alone’ pertains praise and honor forever!!!...
