Meat was one day brought to the Messenger of Allaah and a foreleg was offered to him, a part which he liked. He sliced with his teeth a piece out of it and said: I shall be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why? Allaah would gather in one plain the earlier and the later (of the human race) on the Day of Resurrection. Then the voice of the proclaimer would be heard by all of them and the eyesight would penetrate through all of them and the sun would come near. People would then experience a degree of anguish, anxiety and agony which they shall not be able to bear and they shall not be able to stand. Some people would say to the others: Do you see in which trouble you are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken you? Why don't you find one who should intercede for you with your Lord?
Some would say to the others: Go to Adam. And they would go to Adam and say: O Adam, thou art the father of mankind. Allaah created thee by His own Hand and breathed in thee of His spirit and ordered the angels to prostrate before thee. Intercede for us with thy Lord Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Adam would say: Verily, my Lord is angry, to an extent to which He had never been angry before nor would He be angry afterward. Verily, He forbade me (to go near) that tree and I disobeyed Him. I am concerned with my own self. Go to someone else; go to Noah.
They would come to Noah and would say: O Noah, thou art the first of the Messengers (sent) on the earth (after Adam), and Allaah named thee as a" Grateful Servant," intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? He would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before, and would never be angry afterwards. There had emanated a curse from me with which I cursed my people. I am concerned with only myself, I am concerned only with myself; you better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
They would go to Ibrahim and say: Thou art the apostle of Allaah and His Friend amongst the inhabitants of the earth; intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in which (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Ibrahim would say to them: Verily, my Lord is today angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry afterwards. and (Ibrahim) would mention his lies (and then say): I am concerned only with myself, I am concerned only with myself. You better go to someone else: go to Moossa.
They would come to Moossa and say: O Moossa, thou art Allaah's messenger, Allaah blessed thee with His messengership and His conversation amongst people. Intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see in what (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Moossa would say to them: Verily. my Lord is angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry afterwards. I, in fact, killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill. I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself. You better go to Eessa. They would come to Eessa and would say: O Eessa, thou art the messenger of Allaah and thou conversed with people in the cradle, (thou art) His Word which He sent down upon Maryam, and (thou art) the Spirit from Him; so intercede for us with thy Lord. Don't you see (the trouble) in which we are? Don't you see (the misfortune) that has overtaken us? Eessa would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before or would ever be angry afterwards. He mentioned no sin of his. (He simply said: ) I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself; you go to someone else: better go to Muhammad.
They would come to me and say: O Muhammad, thou art the messenger of Allaah and the last of the apostles. Allaah has pardoned thee all thy previous and later sins. Intercede for us with thy Lord; don't you see in which (trouble) we are? Don't you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? I shall then set off and come below the Throne and fall down prostrate before my Lord; then Allaah would reveal to me and inspire me with some of His Praises and Glorifications which He had not revealed to anyone before me. He would then say: Muhammad, raise thy head; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted I would then raise my head and say: O my Lord, my people, my people. It would be said: O Muhammad, bring in by the right gate of The Jannah those of your people who would have no account to render. They would share with the people some other door besides this door. The Prophet then said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, verify the distance between two door leaves of The Jannah is as great as between Mecca and Hajar, or as between Mecca and Busra.
Brother and Sister,
take my advice and revise your stand on this issue
========================================================
Late Ahmad Deedat said: Nobody has the right to translate names. Mr. Black is Mr. Black although he is white.
Still, Deedat accepts an abhorrent translation of the name of Allaah into "God", and translation of the name of Prophet Eessa into "Jesus".
What a nonsense! What a contradiction!
The name "Muhammad" is not mentioned in the Bible. The Quraan refers to this subject in the following verse:
"And when Eessa Ibnu Maryam said: "O children of Israel, I am sent to you by Allaah to confirm the Tawraah (sent) before me, and to give you good tidings of an apostle who will come after me, whose name is AHMAD." Yet when he has come to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is only magic.""
This means that the name "Muhammad" was not mentioned in the Bible. Had there been a mention of the name, it should have been AHMAD, not Muhammad.
Therefore, the whole lecture of Deedat was irrelevant to the subject. Furthermore, it is only disgraceful to Prophet Muhammad to have his name mentioned in the licentious “Song of Songs” which is not part of the Tawraah which Allaah revealed to Prophet Moossa. It is noteworthy that the Injeel which Allaah revealed to Prophet Eessa is not a book. When Prophet Eessa referred to Prophet Muhammad He said his name was AHMAD, not Muhammad.
The only reference to Prophet Muhammad that can be found in the Tawraah can be found in the following two verses of The Quraan:
- Those who follow the Messenger (of Allaah), the UNLETTERED PROPHET, whom they find written in what they have of the Tawraah and the Injeel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
- Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allaah to you all, [Allaah] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He (Allaah) gives life and causes death." So believe in Allaah and His Messenger, the UNLETTERED PROPHET, who believes in Allaah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
