The Arabs’ Following of 'Isa (peace be upon him) After His Mission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was it obligatory for the Arabs to follow 'Isa (peace be upon him) after his mission? And how do we understand this if 'Isa (peace be upon him) was sent specifically to the Children of Israel?
Answer:
It is obligatory to believe in all the prophets. Whoever was on the religion of Ibrahim before the mission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or on the true religion of 'Isa, the correct religion, is a Muslim. It is not the distorted religion or the religion subjected to figurative interpretation. No, the correct religion that 'Isa (peace be upon him) brought before the mission of the Messenger is valid. Yes.
