ADNAN OKTAR
The great majority of commentators and scholars
agree that the pronoun his in the term qabla mawtihi (before
his death), points to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Arabic lin-
guistics also agree with this view. The plural suffix hum is
used in all the Qur'anic verses concerning the People of the
Book (e.g., Surat al-Bayyina:1 and 6, and Surat al-Hashr:2).
In this verse, however, the singular suffix hu is used. This
means that the People of the Book will believe in the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) before his biological death after he re-
turns to Earth. 76
The phrase "and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a
witness against them," is one of the proofs that the verse does
refer to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). That being the case, the
verse should be interpreted in these terms: "When Jesus
(pbuh) comes, all People of the Book will believe in him."
This indicates that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will return and
that true religious moral values will rule Earth under his
leadership.
Allah also reveals that all the prophets and messengers
will bear witness for their communities on the Last Day:
… when the messengers' time is appointed. (Surat al-
Mursalat:11)
Our Lord reveals that Prophet Muhammad (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) bore witness for his own
community:
How will it be when We bring a witness from every nation
