[2]The term 'Comforter' is used in many versions of the Bible, including the older printings
of the King James Version.
[3]Many people have gone to extremes regarding the person of Jesus Christ. Some reject
him altogether and spare no effort to discredit him, some others deny his existence
altogether considering him to be a fictional character, yet some others contradict his
teachings which call to belief in one true God and go as far as attributing divine qualities
to him and even worshipping him. Only Islam has the decisive say about him, defends
him, confirms his prophethood and calls to the same message he brought, namely, to
worship the One True God.
[4]In spite of the fact that Ishmael was the oldest son of Prophet Abraham as, is clear
from Genesis 16/16, "Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael

cause the Prophet and his followers a great deal of harm. Although he escaped death
and captivity at Badr, his son Wahb was taken prisoner. Safwaan and Umayr sat next to
the Ka'bah and the topic of discussion was, inevitably, the Battle of Badr when Umayr
said, "Had it not been for the fact that I am encumbered by debt which I cannot pay off
and that my children are so young that, if something should happen to me, they would
suffer much hardship, I would have gone to Madeenah pretending to pay my son's
ransom whom they hold as a prisoner, and I will make sure to kill Muhammad." Safwaan
realized that a great opportunity was opening up for him. He said to Umayr, "Do not
worry about your debt; I will pay it all. Be reassured about your children; I will look after
them for you. They will not be in need of anything I can provide." Umayr was serious in
his intention and did not make the proposition to hold back from implementing it. He
promised his friend that he would depart as soon as possible and he made Safwaan
