have been loyal to the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) for
2000 years. And that is excellent,
too. But they are unaware. We are li-
ving in times resembling the period bet-
ween the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and the
Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace). They may not have realized.
They may not have understood the Qur'an. There are
people who are inciting them against the Qur'an. But the
more they have learned the more they have begun to realize.
They have begun realizing the invalidity of belief in the Trinity, for
example. The Jews, for instance, have better begun realizing the
importance of belief in the Hereafter. It was in the Torah, but they
took it out. But belief in the Hereafter can still be seen in the Torah.
They have begun strengthening it under the influence of the
Qur'an. The more these people are told about Islam and the
Qur'an, at least they correct their polytheistic and false beliefs.
That is a great success, a blessing and a beauty. In one verse
Almighty Allah tells us to unite under a common word, the oneness
of Allah. We are calling on people to do that, and they are our
brothers. Theirs are old forms of Islam. They have been cor-
rupted, but they are still old forms of Islam, and they are
the People of the Book. For that reason, they are
just as deserving of love, respect and pro-
tection as Muslims. They will therefore
enjoy peace and security.
