This book is the English translation (2nd Edition) of a lecture delivered by Al-Habib Ali al-Jafri in 2003 in Lebanon. The topic of the book emphasises the status and rank of the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, (Hadrat Isa, alayhi salam) within the Islamic tradition. The book is split into numerous short chapters, discussing various aspects of Prophet Jesus’ life and includes an elaboration of the esteemed rank of Mary, peace be upon her, (Hadrat Maryam, alayhi salam). It also discusses the second coming of Jesus, peace be upon him, as believed by the Muslims, the trials of the anti-Christ (Dajjal) and the eventual victory of Jesus, peace be upon him, and his supporters over the anti-Christ.
Extract : ''After the manifestation of absolute spirituality appears in this existence in the face of absolute materiality, the latter will crack and cave in before the former, because materiality comes second to the spirit. Materiality was created only as a servant to the spirit, were it not for the foolishness of the people and their covetousness that caused them to make of themselves servants of materialism! When the Manifestation of tyranny of materialism looks at the Manifestation of the supremacy of the spirit, it shall melt and be powerless to resist. At that time the Divine victory will appear in plain sight, at the hand of our liege-lord Jesus, upon him peace. ''
