If the Arabs had believed in 'Isa (peace be upon him), who was sent to the Children of Israel before the mission of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), would that save them from the punishment of Allah?

The questioner : When 'Isa (peace be upon him) came, did he come specifically to the Children of Israel? And if the Arabs had believed in him, would that have saved them from the punishment of Allah before Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh : A question to clarify: Do you mean if the Arab believed in 'Isa but did not believe in Ibrahim and Isma'il?

The questioner : He believed in them.

The Shaykh : Then he believed in 'Isa, yes, Doctor?

The questioner : Now the answer is clarified.

The Shaykh : Clarified.
