countries assemble, visit the Holy Ka’ba, offer sacrifices,
and renew their fidelity to Allah and promise to lead a
new life worthy of a Musulman. Not only Makkah, but
also Madinah and the territory surrounding them, has
become sacred and inviolable, and forbidden to any non-
Muslim man or woman! It was in fulfilment of his vision
of Idris or Enoch, too, that the second caliph, Omar,
rebuilt the Sacred Mosque at Jerusalem on the hill of
Moriah, on the spot of the Temple of Solomon (pbuh) ! All
these marvellously prove that the vision was seen by a
seer inspired by God, who saw the Muslim events in a far-
distant future. Could Rome or Byzantium claim to be the
New Jerusalem? Can the Pope or any schismatic Patriarch
claim to be the Apocalyptic White Bull with two large
horns? Can Christianity claim to be the kingdom of Peace
(Islam = “Shalom”) while it makes Jesus (pbuh) and the
Holy Ghost coeval and consubstantial with the Absolute
One God? Most decidedly not.

(e) In those chapters dealing with the Kingdom
of Peace, the Messiah is called Son of Man, but in the
description of the Last Judgment which follows at the
end of this Reign of Islam or Peace he is called “Son of
Woman” and “Son of God,” and made to share with God
in the Judgment of the World. It is admitted by all scholars
that these extravagant and foolish statements are not of
Jewish origin but belong to the Christian imaginations,
inserted and interpolated by them.

The other Apocalypses, those which bear the names
of Moses (pbuh) , Baruch, Ezra, the Jubilees, and the
Oracula Sibylliana, should be studied impartially, for it
is then that they, like those of Daniel and Enoch, will
not only be understood but also prove to be fulfilled in
Muhammad (pbuh) and Islam.
