Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. In his second question, he asks: What is the ruling on some people saying that so-and-so, the Christian, is on the true religion of 'Isa, and that he worships Allah alone, having no partner with Him?
Answer:
The true 'Isa believed in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), because 'Isa foretold Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and announced a Messenger who would come after him named Ahmad. This is a reference by 'Isa (peace be upon him) to Muhammad. So the one who truly believes in 'Isa follows the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If he does not believe in Muhammad, he is a disbeliever in 'Isa, in Muhammad, and in all the Messengers.
