THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
practices belonging to the true faith, the religion revealed to the
Prophet Jesus (as) has been corrupted by certain individuals
who came after him. Many years after the first coming of the
Prophet Jesus (as), unidentified people authored the books of

what we know today as the New Testament, and they wrote
them in Greek whereas the language of the Prophet Jesus (as)
and his disciples was Aramaic, a language close to Arabic. In
succeeding ages, historians compiled these writings. Conse-
quently, Christianity today has lost much of the Prophet Jesus'
(as) original teaching.
After the Prophet Jesus (as), Allah sent another messenger
from a different tribe in order that through him He could reveal
and restore the original religion to the world, and He endowed
him with a noble book. This messenger was the Prophet
Muhammad (saas) and the book is the Qur'an, the only unal-
tered Divine revelation.
The Qur'an addresses all mankind and is relevant for all
times. All people from all ages will be held responsible for
adhering to this book, if they have been exposed to the message
of Islam. They will be judged according to the Qur'an on the Day

of Judgement. In this day and age especially, all the nations of
the world are, in a sense, united and have almost become like a
single tribe, thanks to technological breakthroughs. One aca-
demic referred to the world today as 'the global village'. There-
fore, there are few people in the world today who can be
unaware of the existence of the Qur'an and who are uninformed
about Islam. Despite this, only a certain part of people has faith
in the Qur'an.
