21 God question him, ‘My servant, how can you assert today that you have no knowledge of your people’s actions after your death, when you lived another forty years, broke crosses, killed swine, and forcibly converted the world to Islam? If Jesus as had indeed returned to the world, his response to such a query on the Day of Judgment could have been: ‘Oh God, what a peculiar question. You are the One who brought me back to the world, enabling me to fulfil my mission. Yet, instead of being rewarded today, am I met with Your displeasure?’ Such a scenario would exemplify the expression repaying good with evil. Similarly, Jesus as could have said: ‘After enduring countless hardships day and night to accomplish the tasks You assigned me, today I am rebuked instead of rewarded and asked if I had taught idolatry?’ Strangely enough, however, he does not offer any of these responses. Instead, his only reply is to plead ignorance regarding his followers’ misguided beliefs. The words of the Holy Quran unequivocally state that idolatry took hold after his passing, not during his lifetime. Hence, the crucial question arises: Do Christians presently believe in the divinity of Jesus or not? The answer is patently evident and undeniable.
