There are two irreconcilable statements made
by Matthew (or corrupted by his interpolator), which
logically destroy each other. Within an hour Peter is “the
Rock of Faith,” as Catholicism will boast, and, “the Satan
of Infidelity,” as Protestanism will scout him! Why so?
Because when he believed Jesus (pbuh) to be the Messiah
he was rewarded; but when he refused to admit that his
master was not the Messiah he was convicted! There are
no two “Sons of Man,” the one to be the Commander of the
Faithful, fight sword in hand the wars of God, and uproot
idolatry and its empires and kingdoms; the other to be an
Abbot of the poor Anchorites on the summit of Calvary,
fight the wars of God cross in hand, and be martyred
ignominiously by idolatrous Romans and unbelieving
Jewish Pontiffs and Rabbis! “The Son of Man,” whose
hands were seen under the wings of the Cherubs by the
Prophet Ezekiel (ii), and before the throne of the Almighty
by the Prophet Daniel(vii), and described in the other
Jewish Apocalypses, was not predestined to be hanged
upon Golgotha, but to transform the thrones of the pagan
kings into their own crosses; to change their palaces into
calvarias, and to make sepulchres of their capital cities.
Not Jesus, but Muhammad (pbtuhem) , had the honour of this
title, “the Son of Man”! The facts are more eloquent than
even the Apocalypses and the visions. The material and
moral conquests achieved by Muhammad (pbuh) the Holy
Apostle of Allah over the enemy are unrivalled.
(b) “The Son of Man” is called by Jesus (pbuh) “the Lord
of the Sabbath day.” [1] This is very remarkable indeed.
The sanctity of the seventh day is the theme of the Law
of Moses (pbuh) . God accomplished the work of creation
in six days, and on the seventh, He rested from all work.
Men and women, children and slaves, even the domestic
animals were to repose from all labour under the pain of
