                  Allah bless him and grant him peace) and cause religious
                  moral values to prevail worldwide.

                       Other people put forward another irrational and illogi-
                  cal claim: "If Jesus (pbuh) is not to return as a prophet, then
                  his coming will have no meaning." This violates both reason
                  and conscience. Our Lord has promised this event, behind
                  which He has placed great wisdom. Throughout history,
                  Allah has shown people the true path through the prophets
                  that He has sent to them. Sometimes, during periods when
                  people had turned away from religious moral values and
                  degeneracy had become widespread, He removed people
                  from the darkness of their errors by sending them messen-
                  gers. These messengers are people sent by Allah as rulers,
                  who have led people to salvation. Indeed, Allah reveals in
                  the Qur'an that people suffering woes and difficulties have
                  prayed to Allah to send them a savior and protector:

                       What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of
                       Allah – for those men, women, and children who are op-
                       pressed and exclaim: "Our Lord, take us out of this city
                       whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector
                       from You! Give us a helper from You!" (Surat an-Nisa’:75)
                       Of course, Allah answered these prayers and sent them
                  a savior from His Presence, which is a very great blessing.
                  The accounts of Saul (pbuh) and Dhu'l Qarnayn (pbuh) con-
                  stitute important evidence that Allah has sent messengers
                  as well as prophets to various peoples. Allah sent Saul
