88mode of faith and worship.” Now what is the equivalent word for “religion” in the Bible? What expression did Moses (pbuh) of Jesus (pbtuhem) use to convey the meaning of religion? Of course, the Bible and its authors make no use of this word at all.Now the Scriptural term used in the vision of Daniel is the same as applied repeatedly by the Quran to Islam, namely, “Dīn” (and in the Quran. “Dīn”), which means “judgment.” God on His “Korsiya” or tribune is the “Dayyana” or the “Judge.” Let us read the description of this celestial Court of Judgment: “the tribunes areset, the books are opened, and the ‘Dina’ -judgmentis established.” [1] By the “Books” is to be understood the “Preserved Table” wherein the decrees of God are inscribed from which the Quran was transcribed and revealed by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad (pbuh) ; and also the books of accounts of every man’s actions. It was according to the decrees and laws of God contained in that “Preserved Table,” and the wicked actions of the Horn, that the Great “Dayyana” -the Judge condemned it to death and appointed Muhammad (pbuh) to be “Adon,”i.e. “Commander” or “Lord,” to destroy the monster. All this language of Daniel is extremely Quránic. The religion of Islam is called “Dīnu ’l-Islam.” It was according to the decrees and laws of this “Dīna” that the “Barnasha” destroyed the Devil’s religion and his lieutenant the Horn. How can it, then, be at all possible the any man other than Muhammad (pbuh) could be meant by the appearance of a “Son-of-Man” in the presence of the Most High? Islam is, indeed, a “judgment of peace,” because it possesses an authenticated Book of Law, with[1] . Quran, 39:69. And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least). 39:70. And to every soul will be paid in full (the fruit) of its Deeds; and (Allah) knoweth best all that they do. (Editors).
