What was the message of Jesus..?

If there would have been more than one master of this universe, then there would surely have been great crisis. But, we don’t see any crisis around us, in fact there is such a perfect harmony behind all the forces of nature that no reasonable mind can fail to see behind all creation one single and all powerful Command of one single and all powerful Creator.

Therefore, reason refuses to accept the idea of conflicting gods, and points towards the Unifying command in creation indicating the Unity of the Creator. This is not only the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but the message of all the Prophets who came before him. The message given to every Prophet in all ages was to believe in One and Only God confirming with the fundamental basis of creation on which this universe runs.

They never say anything before they receive Allah’s commands to say it, and their acts are conditioned accordingly. This is also the teaching of Jesus (pbuh) as reported in the Gospel of St. John (xii. 49-50): “For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father which sent me. He gave me a commandment, what I should say: and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak”.

If righty understood the word “Father” here has the same meaning as “Rabb” in Qurán i.e. the Sustainer and Cherisher, and not the Begetter or Progenitor. The Prophets are no more than the servants of Him: they are raised high in honour, and therefore they deserve our highest respect, but not our worship. The miracles in the story of Jesus (peace be upon him) were “by the Will and Power of Allah”. They were the miracles of Allah and not of Jesus (pbuh).

All His creatures are answerable and dependent on Him and He is the Sovereign – independent of all.

The different kind of false gods, which people imagined and worshipped from time to time, whether they be Prophets, deified heroes or local god men, or idols or animals or trees or forces of nature around us, these - as deities, have no life except what their worshippers give them. The Self – Subsisting life is only in Allah – The One – The True – The Eternal God.

Think again…

Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) gods besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified is Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him! He cannot be questioned as to what he does, while they (His creatures) will be questioned. Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him? Say (O Muhammad): “Bring your convincing proof: this (Islam) is the Message of those (Prophets) with me and the Message of those (Prophets) before me”. But most of them know not the Truth, so they are averse. And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad) but revealed to him (saying): none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah), so worship Me (Alone and none else). (Al-Qurán Sura 21 Ayat 22- 25)
