                         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
