anticipate to come with the attribute of the “final
Messiah,” may or may not be able to occupy even
those two provinces; and besides, when will he come?
He was to have come to destroy the Roman “Beast.”
That “Beast” was only mutilated and slaughtered
by Muhammad (pbuh) ! What else is expected? When
Muhammad (pbuh) , the Apocalyptic Barnasha, founded
the Kingdom of Peace (Islam), the majority of the
Jews in Arabia, Syria, Mesopotamia, etc., voluntarily
rushed to the greatest shepherd of humankind when
he appeared with the terrific blows that he struck at
the “Brute” of paganism. Muhammad (pbuh) founded
a universal Brotherhood, the nucleus of which is
certainly the family of Abraham (pbuh) , including
among its members the Persians, the Turks, the
Chinese, the Negroes, the Javanese, the Indians, the
Englishmen, etc., all forming one “ummat” (Arabic)
or “Umtha da-Shlama,” i.e. the Islamic Nation!

(3) Then the recovery of the promised lands, including
the land of Canaan and all the territories from the Nile to
the Euphrates, and gradually the extension of the Kingdom
of Allah from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern shores of the
Atlantic, is a marvellous fulfilment of all the prophecies
about the Holiest and the Greatest of the Sons of Man!

Considering the stupendous work accomplished by
Muhammad (pbuh) for the One True God, the brief time
spent by him and his brave and devoted companions in its
accomplishment, and the ineffaceable effects that the work
and the religion of Muhammad (pbuh) have left upon all the
kingdoms and the thinkers of mankind, one is at a loss to
know what tribute to pay to this Prophet of Arabia, except
the wish to behold him shining in redoubled glory before
the Throne of the Eternal as Daniel saw in his vision!
