The Noble Son — Page 20
– FULFILMENT OF A GRAND PROPHECY 20 manifest from the actual words of the prophecy. Is it that the Promised Reformer and Promised Son will be his biological son; or that he shall be from his progeny, in some age far removed from today? And that he would be physically and spiritually, in both respects, his son? Or he would just be his spiritual son and not a physical one? When we begin to ponder upon the actual words of the prophecy with this question in mind, then in relation to this, we find in the very first stage: 1. The words in the prophecy that are found in the hadith of the Noble Prophet s as for the Promised Messiah as are: ُ یَتَزَوَّجُ وَ یُوْلَدُ لَہ The meaning of these words is that the Promised Messiah as would marry and a son would be born to him. To refer to the birth of a son with the mention of him getting married indicates in a very clear, plain and evident manner, that such son would in fact, be the result of that marriage and he would be his biological child, not that he would be born among his progeny in some distant age. Does it make sense that the Promised Messiah is to marry and along with the mention of that very marriage is the mention in the hadith of the son who is to be born, yet he is born hundreds of years after that marriage? Given the glad tiding in the hadith of the son to be born immediately together with the mention of this marriage, is there any way to conceive that the one born hundreds of years after this marriage could be the product of this marriage? Certainly not!
