stances in mind, it becomes quite understandable why The
Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) teachings caused some priests such discom-
fort: The Prophet Jesus (pbuh), like all other Prophets, targeted the
wrongness of the established order, which considered all kinds of
evil legitimate. He wanted people to abandon injustice, unfairness,
immorality, and idolatrous religious beliefs and to replace them
with a life dedicated to serving Allah. He advised people to fear
and love Allah in equal measures, to submit to Him, to distance
themselves from superstitious rules and dogmatic practices, to
worship Allah alone, and to turn only to Him for success in their
undertakings. The miracles he performed by Allah's will showed
clearly that he was a valued Prophet chosen above all people by
Allah, Who supported him with power and superior knowledge.
His depth of faith, high morality, superior awareness, and expla-
nations full of insight were greatly admired by the
people.
