" It is further said: "Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God: abideth a priest continually. ” (Hebrews, 7:1-3) It means that Melchisedec had neither father nor mother; was everlasting and eternal like the Lord-God; his age neither had a beginning nor an ending; neither was he ever born nor would he die at any time; he lives for ever and ever more and is like the Son to God the Great, as the Messiah is, from eternity to eternity (not the Messiah who was born of Mary but the Messiah who is one of the Three), so is Melchisedec eternal and everlasting, without a beginning and without an ending. It is clear that there was in the world one more person who was righteous and so exceedingly righteous that he was the king of truth and peace and it befitted him to give his blessings to Abram (peace and the blessings of Allah be on him).
