80 person, he himself negates them, saying I am not Omnipotent? This is strange indeed! Then in Matthew 26:38, it is written, the gist of which is that the Messiah prayed all night fervently and with great grief that the Lord may save him, and begged Allah, the Lord of Glory , that, if it be possi- ble, to take this cup away from me. And he not only prayed himself, but he made his disciples also pray for him, just as among the ordinary peo- ple when someone is afflicted in some way, they often ask for prayers for themselves in the mosques. But how strange, that despite this, the attribute of Omnipotence is thrust upon him for no reason at all and his works are described as being miraculous. Nevertheless, that prayer was still not accepted and whatever had been decreed took place. Now, consider if he had been Omnipotent then one would expect that this authority and power would have been of some use; first, for his own self. When it proved of no use in his own case, for others to expect something from him is a vain hope. Now, from this statement of ours, all the prophecies that Deputy Abdullah Atham presented, have been rebutted, and it is now clearly evident that through his words and through his deeds, the Messiah as considered himself just a mere humble human being, and never believed he possessed any Divine attributes. Yes, he is a Prophet of Allah, without any doubt —a true Messenger of God Almighty. There is no doubt about this whatsoever. Allah, the Lord of Glory , states in the Noble Quran : َو ْنَم ُّلَضَا ْنَّمِم اْوُعْدَّي ْنِم ِنْوُد ِهّٰللا ْلُق ْمُتْيَءَرَا اَّم َنْوُعْدَت ْنِم ِنْوُد ِهّٰللا ْيِنْوُرَا اَم اَذ اْوُقَلَخ َنِم ِضْرَاْلا ْمَا ْمُهَل ٌكْرِش يِف ِتٰوٰمَّسلا١ؕ ْيِنْوُتْيِا ٍبٰتِكِب ْنِّم ِلْبَق ۤاَذٰه ْوَا ٍةَرٰثَا ْنِّم ٍمْلِع ْنِا ْمُتْنُك َنْيِقِدٰص ۰۰ 1 ْنَم اَّل ُبْيِجَتْسَي ۤٗهَل ىٰلِا ِمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا َو ْمُه ْنَع ْمِهِٕىٓاَعُد َنْوُلِفٰغ۰۰ Meaning that do you see the people whom you consider to be gods beside Allah, what have they created in the earth?
