132 The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)

Those who say that the Messiah, son of Mary, is the third
of three are unbelievers. There is no God but the One
Allah. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 73)
In this case, "And I will place the people who follow you
above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection"
carries a clear message: There has to be a group of the Prophet
Jesus' (pbuh) followers who will exist until the Last Day. Such a
group will emerge after his second coming, and those who follow
him at that time will dominate the unbelievers until the Last Day.
This information is reinforced also in verse 14 of Surat as-Saff:
You who believe! Be helpers of Allah as 'Jesus son of Mary
said to the Disciples, 'Who will be my helpers to
Allah?'The Disciples said, 'We will be the helpers of
Allah.' One faction of the tribe of Israel had faith and the
other were unbelievers. So We supported those who had
faith against their enemy and they became victorious.
(Surat as-Saff, 14)
From the verse above we understand that during the period
when the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) lived, some people believed while
others did not. The command related at the last part of the verse,
"So We supported those who had faith against their enemy and
they became victorious" heralds a period during which those be-
lieved in the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will prevail.
It is probable that this period is the one, before the Day of
Judgment, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come for the second time
to the Earth. In this period the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will make the
moral values of the real deen prevail the Earth and by Allah's Will,
believers will prevail unbelievers. With these words it is stated
that in the End Times believers will prevail unbelievers.
