we find several arguments in favour of the Apostle of
Allah as being a superior and more powerful Prophet
than John (pbuh) . Those arguments, in my humble
opinion, and in my solid conviction, are logical, true,
and conclusive. Each of those arguments could be
easily developed to make a voluminous book. I am
fully conscious of the fact that these argumentations
will present a jarring sound to the fanatical ears of
many a Christian, but truth exalts itself and extols him
who propagates it. The truth about which John gave
witness, as quoted above, we unhesitatingly believe to
be concerning Muhammad. John gave two witnesses,
one about the “Shliha d’Allah” - according to the
then Palestinian dialect, which means the “Apostle
of Allaha”- and the other about Jesus (pbuh) , whom he
declared to have been born of the Holy Spirit and not
of an earthly father; to be the true Messiah who was
sent by Allah as the last great Jewish Prophet (pbuh) to
give a new light and spirit to the Law of Moses (pbuh)
; and to having been commissioned to teach the Jews
that their salvation rested on submitting to the great
son of Ishmael (pbuh) . Like the old Jews who threw
into disorder their Scriptures, the new Jews of the
Christian Church, in imitation of their ancestors, have
corrupted their own. Even these corruptions in the
Gospels cannot conceal the truth [1] .

The principal point that constitutes the power and the
superiority of the Prince of the Apostles of Allah is the
baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire. The admission
by the author of the Fourth Gospel that Jesus (pbuh) and his
disciples also used to baptize with water simultaneously
with John the Baptist (pbuh) is an abrogation de facto of the
parenthetical note that “Jesus (pbuh) did not baptize himself,

[1] Quran, 2:75. “Can ye (o ye men of Faith) entertain the hope that they will
believe in you? Seeing that a party of them heard the Word of Allah, and perverted
it knowingly after they understood it.” (Editors).
