2 Quran. If Jesus is to come before the Day of Judgement as thou would believe, why will he deny all knowledge of the fall of the Christians? As thou hast read, Christ will confess his ignorance and say that he knew not of the innovations they adopted after him. Had he returned to the world and seen what they did, Christ should have spoken thus; O’ my Lord, I was returned to the world by Thy command and lived among my people for forty years. I found them venerating my mother and I. They were adamant in their resolve. Thus, I broke the cross and corrected [the errors of] their age. Many of them I slew and they humbled themselves and sub- mitted to the faith of the Lord. Ask thy Jesus why he will utter falsehoods on the Day of Judgement. He will hide his testimony and be from among the ignorant. By God, I am come from Him. If you are righteous then honour the oath taken in Allah’s name. I have been giv- en many signs and the Holy Quran has closed all paths ex- cept mine. Where will be thy flight? As thou dost know I come at the head of the century. The moon and the sun were eclipsed in the month of Rama- dan so that they may serve as two signs from my Gracious Lord in my favour. He raised the plague so that people would think and ponder. What has overcome thee that thou do not see the signs of Allah. Or maybe thou art displeased with what thy eyes behold.
