A Call for Unity

All Prophets Are Accused of Being

Possessed

Equally, no Messenger came to those before them with-
out their exclaiming: "A magician or a madman!" Did
they bequeath this to each other? Indeed, they are an un-
bridled people. (Surat Adh-Dhariyat: 52-53)

The Gospel

When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him,
for they said: "He is out of his mind." And the teachers of the law
who came down from Jerusalem said: "He is possessed by
Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."
(Mark, 3: 21-22)
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has
a demon.' (Matthew, 11: 18)

No Prophet Speaks on His Own

Your companion [ Muhammad] is not misguided or mis-
led. Nor does he speak from whim. It is nothing but
Revelation revealed, taught to him by one immensely
strong. (Surat An-Najm: 2-5)

The Gospel

By myself I [Jesus] can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my
judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him Who sent
me. (John, 5: 30)
