that title. This admission is decisive and should awaken
the religious teachers of the Christians to reduce Christ to
his due status of a high and holy Servant of God, and to
renounce the extravagant divine character ascribed to him
much to his own disgust and displeasure.

I cannot imagine a teacher who, seeing his pupils
unable to answer his question, should keep silent, unless
he is himself ignorant like them and unable to give a
solution to it. But Jesus(pbuh was not either ignorant or a
malevolent teacher. He was a prophet with a burning love
to God and man. He did not leave the problem unsolved
or the question without an answer. The Gospels of the
Churches do not report the answer of Jesus (pbuh) to the
question: “Who was the Lord of David (pbuh) ?” But the
Gospel of Barnabas does. This Gospel has been rejected by
Churches because its language is more in accordance with
the revealed Scriptures and because it is very expressive
and explicit about the nature of Jesus (pbuh) Christ’s mission,
and above all because it records the exact words of Jesus
(pbuh) concerning Muhammad (pbuh) . A copy of this Gospel
can easily be procured. There you will find the answer of
Jesus (pbuh) himself, who said that the Covenant between
God and Abraham (pbuh) was made on Ishmá’íl (pbuh) , and
that “the most glorious or praised” of men is a descendant
of Ishmá’íl and not of Isaac through David. Jesus (pbtuhem)
repeatedly is reported to have spoken of Muhammad (pbuh)
, whose spirit or soul he had seen in heaven. I shall have, if
God wills, an occasion to write on this Gospel later.

There is no doubt that the prophetical eye of Daniel
that saw in a wonderful vision the great “Barnasha,” who
was Muhammad (pbuh) , was also the same prophetical
eye of David (pbuh) . It was this most glorious and praised
of men that was seen by the Prophet Job (xix 25) as a
“Saviour” from the power of the Devil.
