THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
3. He has outstanding wisdom and decisive
speech

They are the ones to whom we gave the Book, Judge-
ment, and Prophethood... (Surat al-An'am: 89)
Throughout history, Allah communicated His messages
and revelations through His messengers. He also granted wis-
dom to these messengers: a decisive and highly pertinent style of
speaking, exemplary manners in enjoining right actions and in
forbidding evil, are all attributes common to the prophets. In the
Qur'an, Allah also draws attention to the wisdom granted to
each prophet. For instance, for the Prophet David (as), Allah
states: "... We gave him wisdom and decisive speech." (Surah

Sad: 20). Similarly, for the Prophet Yahya (John) (as): "Yahya, …
We gave him judgement while still a child." (Surah Maryam:
12) About the Prophet Moses (as), Allah informs us: "And when
he reached his full strength and maturity, We gave him judge-
ment and knowledge." (Surat al-Qasas: 14). About Luqman:
"We gave Luqman wisdom: 'Give thanks to Allah.' (Surah Luq-
man: 12). Similarly, Allah relates: "We gave the family of Abra-
ham the Book and Wisdom..." (Surat an-Nisa': 54)
Thus another attribute of the prophets is that they have
been granted an outstanding wisdom and this would also hold
true for the Prophet Jesus (as) as we learn from the Qur'an:
Remember when Allah said, ''Jesus, son of Maryam,
remember My blessing to you and to your mother
when I reinforced you with the Purest Spirit so that you
could speak to people in the cradle and when you were
fully grown; and when I taught you the Book and Wis-
dom, and the Tawrah and the Injil. (Surat al-Ma'ida:
110)
