This admission of the Synoptics confirms the
statement in the Gospel of Barnabas, where Jesus (pbuh) is
reported to have added that the Covenant will be fulfilled
with the “Shiloah: -the Apostle of Allah- who will come
from the family of Ishmael. For this reason, the Talmudists
describe Jesus (pbuh) as “the second Balaam” -that is, the
Prophet who prophesies for the benefit of the heathen at
the expense of the “chosen people.”

It is quite clear, therefore, that the Jewish reception to,
or their rejection of, Jesus (pbuh) was not the condition sine
qua non to determine the nature of his mission. If he were
the Final Deliverer, he would have made the Jews submit
to him, nolens volens, as Muhammad (pbuh) did. However,
the contrast between the circumstances in which each
of those two Prophets found himself, and their work,
knows no dimensions and no limits. Suffice it to say that
Muhammad (pbuh) converted about ten million pagan Arabs
into most sincere and ardent believers in the true God, and
utterly uprooted idolatry in the lands where it had struck
root. This he did, because he held in one hand the Law
and in the other the Sceptre; the one was the Holy Quran
and the other the emblem of power and government. He
was hated, despised, persecuted by the noblest Arab tribe
to which he belonged, and forced to flee for his life; but by
the power of Allah he accomplished the greatest work for
cause of the true religion which no other Prophet before
him had ever been able to do.

I shall now proceed to show that the Apocalyptic Son
of Man was no other than Muhammad alMustapha (pbuh) .

1. the most cogent and important proof that the
Apocalyptic Barnasha is Muhammad (pbuh) is given in a
wonderful description in the vision of Daniel (vii.) already
discussed in a previous article. In no way whatever the
Barnasha therein described can be identified with any of the
Macca-bees’ heroes or with Jesus (pbuh) ; nor can the terrible
