we find several arguments in favour of the Apostle of189Allah 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 thethen 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).
