Description :

This is the revised edition of the best-selling study of the life of the Prophet of Allah (Jesus), Isa, peace be upon him, and the history of Unitarian & Trinitarian Christianity. It includes references to Isa, Peace be upon him, in the Qur’an & the hadith as well as a critical study of the Gospel of Barnabas. This is an extremely well-researched & interesting read that has also been translated into 5 other languages.

It should perhaps be emphasised that the title of this book is not intended to be provocative. It has always been understood by the Muslims at least that the way of life which was embodied by all of the Prophets, may the blessings and peace of God be on them and on their families and companions and true followers, was essentially one and the same life-transaction, grounded in the worship of the One Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that exists, both in the Seen and in the Unseen worlds - the way of Islam.

Like all the Prophets before him, Jesus, peace be on him, confirmed the Prophets who had come before him - especially Moses, peace be on him - and foretold the coming of the Prophet who would come after him - Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace - and as with all of the Prophets, the simple way of life that Jesus followed was the way of total submission to his Lord, the way of Islam. When the way of Islam is viewed from this perspective, then it is clear that not only Jesus, but indeed all the Prophets, and especially Muhammad - were Prophets of Islam. It is, when understood in this sense, impossible to make any distinction between them.
