JESUS A PROPHET OF ISLAM
JESUS
A PROPHET OF ISLAM
Eminent scholars of Christian history admits that the present-day Christianity is a “Mask” on the face of Jesus, but goes on to say that a Mask worn for a long time acquires a life of its own and it has to be accepted as such. The Muslims believes in the Jesus of history and refuses to accept “The mask”; this in a nutshell, has been the point of difference between Islam and Christianity, for the past fourteen hundred years.
Even before the advent of Islam, the Arians, the Paulines (followers of St. Paul or King Saul of Antoich who took the Jesus story in order to have conquered lands under the Roman Empire in the name of religion called Roman Catholic), the Paulicians and the Goths (Gothics) to mention only some, accepted “the Mask”, but rejected the real Jesus. The Roman Emperors forced Christians to think alike. To achieve this impossible goal, millions of Christians were killed. Castillo, an admirer of Servitus, said, that, “to kill a man is not to prove a doctrine.” Conviction cannot be forced with a dagger.
It is suggested in some quarters that, to achieve Muslim integration, particularly in England and the western worlds, the Muslims should change their two festivals to synchronize with Christmas and Easter. Those who say this, forget that these are pre-Christian Pagan Festivals. One is the ancient birthday of the Sun-God and the other is a sacred festival for the old Anglo-Saxon Goddess of fertility. In this situation, one begins to wonder who in reality is “Anti-Christ”. Here, an attempt is made, perhaps for the first time, to study the sacred life of Jesus, using all available sources, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Christian scriptures, modern research, Qur’an and Hadith.
Christian scholars who attempt to write the history of Jesus never completely free themselves of the idea of his divinity. When they fail to prove his divinity, they sometimes conclude that He did not exist at all, or that He is, “everything to everybody”.
An objective study is impossible to anyone with this frame of mind. This study starts with the conviction that Jesus did exist. He was a man and a prophet of Allah, evident in the Gospel of Barnabas of Jesus even referring to the Almighty, as “Allah”.
This study is the result of thirty years of research by Muhamad “Ata Ur-Rahim giving due gratitude to Amatur Raquib who went to the trouble of searching for out-of-print books sold on the streets of many cities in the United States of America. The help rendered by her to Muhamad “Ata Ur-Rahim was of vital importance.
Visited in Karachi by His Excellency, Mr. Ahmad Jamjoom of Jeddah KSA, encouragement and support were always available whenever facing difficulties in the studies and research. Gratitude also due to His Eminence Shaykh Mahmoud Subhi of Jamiat Dawa Islamia in Tripoli, Libya and making possible the travel to London to have undertaken the in-depth study of the subject.
In London, meeting with His Eminence Shaykh ‘Abd Al-Qadir As-Sufi, extended help and support resulted in the collaboration of Mr. Ahmad Thomson and Hajj. “Abd Al-Haqq Bewley with useful suggestions and advices , and the affection and heart-warming friendship received from Dr. Ali Aneizi cannot be describe, but only deeply felt. These vital information of importance passed to A.S. Anas of Van Gilsestr 18-2H, 1063 VT Amsterdam, Holland; given to the latter’s father H.D. Alonto affiliated in Maguindanao and before the latter’s death, passed down to His Excellency, Minister and Plenipotentiary, Amb. Habib Pullong “Fadlun-Pulalun” Arpa and to brother Col. Sharif Carpenter “Utong” Arpa, His Highness’ uncle and His Highness’ father, respectively, of the Sulu Sultanate Royal Family.
It is passionately felt that if only the peoples of the Christian countries had some in-depth knowledge of the Islamic faith, together with a realistic understanding of Jesus, a prophet (Peace be upon Him), a great deal of unnecessary distress could be avoided in the future. There will be no national boundary, so far as the happiness and well-being of peoples are concerned. Inter-cultural ignorance or just plain ignorance is the greatest single cause of today’s suffering and hardship. This is written, primarily, for the western world, but also for all who seek enlightenment amidst the tangle of conflicting ideas surrounding the birth of Jesus, his mission and his death.
Muhamad ‘Ata Ur-Rahim attacked the muddle with the logic of a pure historian; he found most of the confusion is cause by these two dogmas which defy rational explanation-the supposed divinity of Jesus and the trinity. The study demolishes a great deal of myth upon which the Christian church leans and shows Jesus as the highly orthodox Jew he actually was; as a teacher of the Unitarian faith sent as a messenger by Allah to destroy those base elements which had grown to such enormous proportions deviated from the Moses teachings within the Jewish priesthood, and resulting to the separation of church and government, as by His (Jesus) supposed crucifixion.
This introduction is not meant to be a synopsis of a book which stands entirely on its own. It is but a single part of His Highness’ overall desire to help non-Muslims towards the truth and to lessen the superstitious fear of Islam held by non-Muslims.
HADITH
=========
The Hadith is another source of knowledge about which students of Christianity have been kept in the dark. The Hadith consist of records of eyewitness accounts of what the prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him) said and did in His life. A highly sophisticated pseudo-scholarship was set-up by the Roman church and the Christian missionaries in the last century to discredit the Muslim Hadith Literature which had already undergone the most scrupulous checking and verification in the history of recorded scholarship.
A Hadith is not accepted as such unless the chain of transmission can be trace back thru reliable men, to men who was with Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon Him) and who actually witnessed the event and/or heard the words which the Hadith relates.
The most reliable sources are from those who were devoted to prayers and loved the Almighty Allah, most. The most important collections of Hadith made by Imam Al-Bukhari and Salih Muslim consisted of only years after the Nabi-Muhammad’s (S.A.W.) death and covered all aspects of His life and knowledge.
The Hadiths are essential part of the teachings of Muhammad (S.A.W.). It was from this contemporary eyewitness accounts that the collections of Imam Al Bukari and Salih Muslim were gathered. As well as the Hadith which refer to Jesus (Peace be upon Him), there are also many Muslim traditions which gave accounts of the sayings and deeds of Jesus (Isaah, the true name).
(2)
These were originally gathered together by the earlier followers of Jesus, especially those who spread to Arabia and North Africa and whose descendants became Muslims the time of Muhammad (S.A.W.) having the knowledge of Jesus professing the words “Lailaha ilallah” and referring to the Almighty as, “Allah” in the Hadith.
When the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) came, many of the descendants of the followers of Jesus embraced Islam. They retained all the accounts they had about Jesus, who had previously foretold the coming of the Prophet Nabi-Mohammad (S.A.W.). These traditions were passed down from generations to generations by these new Muslims. And many of which were finally gathered together in Tha’Labi’s stories of the Prophets and in Al-Ghazzali’s revival of the Life-Transaction-\Sciences. It is significant to know how these traditions have given a clear and unanimous picture of the ascetic Jesus who prepared the way for the final messenger, Muahammad (Salailahu alaihi wassalam). In one tradition or Hadith related on the authority of Ma’ruf Al-Karkhi; that Jesus (Peace be upon Him) met a man and said to him, “What are you doing? The man replied, “I am devoting myself to God”. Jesus asked, “Who is giving you what you need? And the man replied, “My Brother”. Jesus said to him, “He is more devoted to ALLAH than you”.
Both, if not, all Prophets/messengers, Jesus and Muhammad (Peace be upon them all) declared one doctrine-Lailaha il’Allah”, there is no God but Allah the one. Nothing can be associated with him in His divinity. Jesus, son of Sitti Fatima (Mary), did answered Pontius Pilate’s question of “Are you the son of God?”, Jesus replied,” No, I am the son of Man”. While Sitti Fatima (Mary), her father was Imam Juaqim and her mother was Sitti Anna. They were like Mandayans, a religious sectarian by the virgin mother Goddess of fertility, Ises, who carries a baby child. Mandayans were non-dogmatic in practice and similar to present Muslims. They were called Gnostics, by the Christians. Accordingly, Imam Juaqim was a great-grand nephew of Ismael, the latter’s half brother was Isaac. While John the Baptist was the son of the sister of Sitti Fatima (Mary). John the Baptist, as a youth was adopted by the Chief Minister of King Solomon, and was brought up during his teens as an Ascetic in the wilderness who later staged with Jesus, the latter's appearing at the river Jordan for his baptism by John, the so-called "Baptist'.
Each Prophet has been sent to a particular people or nation at a particular time. The Prophet of each time has had revealed to him a Sunna, or life-ways, a practice, a social pattern by which each community should lived by. When a new Prophet/Messenger came to a people or nation, he brought a new form of this Sunna to accord and suit with the culture in its present circumstances and/or situations. This is the Shari’ah (law), the road or way of the Prophets. Thus,with the coming of Sayyidina Muhammad (Salailahu Alaihi Wassalam). The divine transaction was completed and final. Messengership is sealed in the last revealed book, the glorious Holy Qu’ran. The science of worship, the means itself of approach to Allah is sealed in this book, the Holy Qu’ran.
The Sunnah 1672, prepard by B-de Montfavcon (1655-1741) ,which was all that remains of a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas(Bar-Jesus, the security escort throughout Jesus’ missionary works) that was burnt. In the fourth year of Emperor Zeno’s rule in 478 AD, the remains of Barnabas (Barabas) were discovered, and a copy of his Gospel, written in his own hand was found on his chest. This is recorded in the ACTA Santorium, Boland Junii, Tome II, page 422-450 published in Antwerd in 1698. It has been claimed by the Roman Catholic Church that the said Gospel found in the grave of Barnabas was that of Mathew, but no steps was taken to display this Gospel found in, the said grave nor a copy of it. The contents of the twenty-five mile long library of the Vatican remained in the dark.
The manuscript, from which the English translation of the gospel of Barnabas was made, was originally in the possession of Pope Sextus (1589-1590). This manuscript then passed through different hands until it reached “a person of great name and authority” in Amsterdam, “who during his lifetime, was often heard to put a high value to this piece”. After his death, the manuscript came into the possession of J.E. Cramer, a councilor of the King of Prussia. In 1713, Cramer presented the manuscript to famous Connoisser of books, Prince Eugene of Savoy. In 1738, along with the library of the Prince, it found its way into the Hofbibliothek in Vienna, where it now rests.
Toland, a notable historian of the early Church had access to this manuscript, and he refers to it in his miscellaneous works, which was published posthumously in 1747.
He said of the Gospel:
“This is in scripture style to a hair, the story of Jesus is very differently told in many things
from the received Gospels….being near as long again as many of ours. Someone would
make a prejudice in favor of it; because, as all things are best known just after they
happened, so everything diminishes the farther it proceeds from its original”
(3)
The publicity which to land, gave to this manuscript, made it impossible for it to share the same faith as another manuscript of the Gospel in Spanish which also once existed. This manuscript was presented to a college library in England at about the same time that the Italian translated manuscript was given to the Hofbibliothek. It had not been in England long before it mysteriously disappeared.
The Italian manuscript, its English translated manuscript by Canon and Mrs. Ragg, printed and published by the Oxford University Press in 1907, nearly the whole edition of this English translation abruptly and mysteriously disappeared from the market. Only two copies of this translation are known to exist, one in the British museum, the other in the Library of Congress in Washington DC, USA.
It is now generally accepted that the three earlier accepted Gospels. Known as the Synoptic Gospels, were copied from an earlier unknown Gospel which today’s researchers refer to as “Q”, for wanting of a better name. The question arises as to whether the apocryphal (forbiddin) Gospel of Barnabas is, in fact, this missing Gospel. It must be remembered that John, Mark was the son of the sister of Barnabas. He never met Jesus. It is known that Paul (formerly King Saul of Antoich who turned religious leader) and Barnabas on many of their missionary journeys up to the point when there was a sharp conflict between them, resulting to Barnabas and Mark going to Cyprus together. It is unlikely that Mark relied on Paul (who neither met Jesus) as a source of information, but from his uncle Barnabas (also Barabas). Luke, who also wrote the Acts of Apostles, never met Jesus. He was Paul’s personal physician. Mathew, who also never encountered Jesus, was a tax collector. It has been argued that Mark’s gospel might be the missing “Q” Gospel, and that Mathew and Luke use this Gospel when writing theirs. However, they recorded details, which Mark does not, and which implies that the Barnabas Gospel might be the missing “Q” Gospel, and should have been the officially accepted Gospel, but sadly not, for having been Islamic in nature.
Finally, it was not Jesus crucified on the cross. In 1987, the skeletal remains of Judas was found clutching a skin-leathered scroll with writings in Aramaic language stating, “I am Judas, I was paid by Jesus to betray him”, and Judas’s ankles were indicative of bones broken by nails on its sides, the usual way of crucifixion. The last words of the supposed Jesus on the cross were, “Elieh, Elieh, dami sabatani”, meant to be “Allah, Allah, dami sebatani”, the name, “Allah” often used by Jesus during his three year mission referring to the Almighty Allah, considered by others at the time, as word from the Tongues of Fire or referred to in modern times, as in ”talking in tongues”. It was why the soldier of the Roman Pagan Empire soaked the crucified man’s mouth (tongue, cut) with a cloth wrapped at the tip of the spear that was dipped in vinegar-water to have silenced the crucified man in not disclosing himself as Judas, as he was saying those last words on the cross. And the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947, indicated the Esseness secret society who indicated on their record files or scrolls, their fabricating of a “Savior of the World” and the latter’s supposed, crucifixion and ascension, in order to instill the separation of Jewish church and Roman government whose combined laws and powers had gone out of proportions deviating from the teachings of Moses. In the gospel of Judas, Jesus told the apostles to only thank God of your birth as we all have a mission to do goodness in encountering of evil. And whatever we gain in this material world, we only praise God for it in the manner of invoking the words, " ALHAMDULILLAH, O ALLAH" or "PRAISE ALLAH", that Jesus was referring to to the Almighty God as "ALLAH".
In 1946, the gospel of Philip was discovered and affirming all these. The supposed suicide of Judas after his crucifixion, staged to look like the guilt-ridden Judas of his betrayal to Jesus.
In 1959, questioned, the Vatican Catholic church declared the first Vatican Council stating that the Vatican is the only official authority to its doctrine and nobody else. Faced by legal impediments, the Vatican in 1962 declared the Second Vatican Council decreeing that, not only are they the Official Authority to its doctrine, but that, the Vatican is now then a United Nations Charter member, and thus, being its official authority of its doctrine, the Vatican of the Roman Catholic religion now is a sovereign state as by the U.N. Charter. Thus, will never be dissolve, although in contravention to their separation of church and government.
The Esseness, prior to becoming such, were the wealthy affluent and innovative and helpful people who had come from many parts of the region, predominantly of Hebrew-Jew and Sumerians, subjugated by heavy taxations to have instead given-up their wealth to the Jewish priesthood and the Roman Pagan Empire. These affluent and intellectual peoples fled to the hills using the rock enclaves as so-called “Hospitals” at that time for the sick and became the doctors, mathematicians and astrologers of their times. They formed their secret society, called Esseness. Conveniently, the arrival of the pregnant Mary (Sitti Fatima) and Joseph catered by the Esseness, the latter used to promote the later Nazarite or heretic- “religious rebel”, the pro-orthodox Jew (Jesus) to destroy the base elements in the Jewish priesthood that had gone out of proportions deviating from the original teachings of Moses and the Ten Commandments. To this day, Nabi Musa-Moses", Nabi Nu-Noah's and Nabi Ibrahim-Abraham's; their graves or tomb are catered by Muslims in its Maintainance and revered with dauly Islamic prayers or Duwaa, loocated in Islamic countries; as Turkey and/or Babylon-Iraq, and Palestine. Nabii-Prophet Jesus' coffin is in Rozabal-Kyanar, Kashmir in Northern India catered and maintained by Muslims is being revered by Muslims with daily prayers-Duwaa.. While his remains were shipped back to Jerusalem in Talpoit where it was discovered in 1980 by Archeologists.
In essence, the Prophets before Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), given the Messages of Allah for mankind, whether man knew it or not, were Islamic in nature. Messages to accord the nature of each nation, a messenger was sent, and because those messages were not complete nor final, it faded away along with its nations given, such as; the nation of Babel, Alexandria, Antoich and the Roman Empire to name some.
(4)
It was only through Mohammad, Peace be upon Him, that the completed and final message of Allah was given, the life-transactions or Life-ways for mankind and his means of approach to Allah during act of prayers. Evidently stated by Allah and indicated in the Holy and Glorious Qu’ran; “Mohammad, I have given unto thee the same religion given to the prophets before thee, and that is the religion of goodness (derives peace), and thou shalt callest Al-Islam.”. Mohammad also indicated in His Sunnah, “the same religion that He (Allah) established for you, as that of Noah, as sent by inspiration through Ibrahim (Abraham), Mosa (Moses) and Jesus, namely; that you should remain steadfast in Allah’s religion and make no division (nor deviation) therein. For those who worship things other than Allah, hard is the way which thou Callest them.”
The apocryphal (forbidden) books are now kept in Theosophical Society Libraries. One book, “The Mystical Jesus” explains and discloses the so-called “ascension and divinity” of Jesus, not to mention the twelve apostles used by the Esseness as “a vehicle” in promoting the cause of which Jesus is commissioned.
Three hundred twenty-five (325) years after the supposed death and resurrection of Jesus, the Council of Nicea declared the divine trinity and divinity of Jesus, decreeing him as God to suit the separation of religion and government. And Mary Magdalene as the apostle of the apostoles. Mary who had came from the community of brothels-Madaline. With that, King Saul (St. Paul) who had turned religious, used this decree and the Jesus story in the founding of a religion, the Pauline Christianity and its doctrine; the very doctrine that he fought as King Saul of Antoich, against the Zealots or defenders of the Jesus teachings. King Saul or referred to as St. Paul after his death, the Roman Empire continued to have conquered lands using the Pauline Christian Religion and naming it, as by the priesthood, the Roman Catholic Church, the Religion. The church naming a place, “Nazareth”, centuries after the supposed death of Jesus the Nazarite (heretic/religious radical) and presently referred to as “Jesus of Nazareth”.
500 years after Jesus, the Holy Qur'an by Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) was made through his dictates from Allah and 600 years after Jesus, the Roman Catholic Bible was made and ensued the Christian Crusades to convert all to Christianity as Islam was being a threat to them. Torture and death to those who refused to be Christianized and pork was induced to Christians as a sort of identifying trait for them. The only religion at the time that sort of ate pork.
Jesus, referring to the Almighty as "Allah" indicated in the apocryphal-secret books, His mission to have prepared the coming of Nabi-prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), the latter given the completed and final message of Allah. All prophets foretold of a Messiah, one who would reaffirm the Iman-faith in the Almighty Allah, and one to alleviate the placement of man and his soul (Jin prior to inhabiting the physical body) in this physical realm and up to, and during his final Rubb or Judgement by Allah. All religions, to mention some, as Hinduism, Buddism, Jewish, Christianity and Islam, the latter given the completed and final message of Allah to Prophet Mohammad sealing the latter as the last of the Prophets, Professes still a Mindhi or Messiah. Does this, if not, imply the slim and probable possibility that the Messiah may be the Almighty Allah, Himself.
Wah Billahi Tawfiq Wal-hidaya. Wassalamu Alaikum Warahmatulahi, Wabarakatuhu.
NOTE:
As by archeologist and scientific findings, Jesus' coffin is at Khaynar-Rozabal, Kashmir, Northern India (place where He had enrolled as Joseph in the secret school of Helious from age 14 to 29) )and is being preserved, revered and prayers offered by the Muslims there, India where he retired and died at age 80). His remains were taken and buried in Talpiot-Jerusalam were it was discovered by Archeleogists inside a bone-box-stone engraved with His name "Jesus Ben Yosuf" (Jesus fathered or of by Uncle Joseph), along with other bone box engraved with the name of Mariame or Mary Magdalene, another with the name Judas, their son (apparently named after Judas Escariot who was paid by Jesus to betray Him and sacrificed himself on the cross to be Jesus, taken from the tomb and later hanged by the Romans to look as suicide) and other bone boxes of Jesus relatives and followers as St.Peter. Jesus real name was Ceasereas (son of Emperor Julius Ceasar) and half sister Se-lene (Mary Magdalene) the daughter of Mark Anthony. There were two other half brothers of Jesus and a supposed twin brother-Thomas, and Their mother was Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. Jesus and Magdalene had a first born daughter-Sarah in Meir-France after the supposed Crucifixion and is the present Patron Saint there as Santa Sarah. Allegedly, Santa Sarah, Her Icon was taken by Magellan to be the Santo Nino in Cebu. Jesus was truly a Prophet of Islam and truly all are Muslims. Masjid Al-Aqsa, believed to have been built by Adam is to this day where Muslims worship Allah, the Garden of Eden discovered in 1997 is at Goblekti Tepe, Northeast of Ufra in Southeastern Turkey Muslim State, Noah's Ark found in Mt. Ararat countrysides of Turkey and two other Ark found in EgypI and in India, The Ark of the Covenent with the Ten Commandments in it was found in Babylon by U.S. Troops 50kms south of Bagdad-Iraq. It was the 7th found of six others in other Muslim countries and ones found in Malabelle-Sudan and in India; its engravements or texts on the stone tablet is no longer readable but one. That one and only readable text is one that commands, "Thou shall not kill" in accordingly indicated in all seven discovered, allegedly. The Ark of the Covenant is made of copper box and laden with Gold contrary to the Christian version made of Acacia wood laden with Gold. The "Sermon on the Mount" was in Palestine or part of Palestine now Jordan, Jesus' birthplace was in Jerusalem formerly a part of Muslim Palestine until part was ceded to the Jews in the making of the State of Israel.. Truly, whether man (We) knew it or not, we were and are Muslims. Evident when Allah told Mohammad (Peace be upon Him), "Mohammad, I have given unto thee the same Religion that hath given the Prophets before you, and that is the Religion of goodness by which shall callest, Al-Islam", and truly Mohammad (s.a.w.) was the Prophet of Islam and Jesus a Prophet of Islam and Peace be upon them.

The Hadith is another source of knowledge about which students of Christianity have been kept in the dark. The Hadith consist of records of eyewitness accounts of what the prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him) said and did in His life. A highly sophisticated pseudo-scholarship was set-up by the Roman church and the Christian missionaries in the last century to discredit the Muslim Hadith Literature which had already undergone the most scrupulous checking and verification in the history of recorded scholarship.

Messengership is sealed in the last revealed book, the glorious Holy Qu’ran. The science of worship, the means itself of approach to Allah is sealed in this book, the Holy Qu’ran.
The Sunnah 1672, prepard by B-de Montfavcon (1655-1741) ,which was all that remains of a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas(Bar-Jesus, the security escort throughout Jesus’ missionary works) that was burnt. In the fourth year of Emperor Zeno’s rule in 478 AD, the remains of Barnabas (Barabas) were discovered, and a copy of his Gospel, written in his own hand was found on his chest. This is recorded in the ACTA Santorium, Boland Junii, Tome II, page 422-450 published in Antwerd in 1698. It has been claimed by the Roman Catholic Church that the said Gospel found in the grave of Barnabas was that of Mathew, but no steps was taken to display this Gospel found in, the said grave nor a copy of it. The contents of the twenty-five mile long library of the Vatican remained in the dark.
The manuscript, from which the English translation of the gospel of Barnabas was made, was originally in the possession of Pope Sextus (1589-1590). This manuscript then passed through different hands until it reached “a person of great name and authority” in Amsterdam, “who during his lifetime, was often heard to put a high value to this piece”. After his death, the manuscript came into the possession of J.E. Cramer, a councilor of the King of Prussia. In 1713, Cramer presented the manuscript to famous Connoisser of books, Prince Eugene of Savoy. In 1738, along with the library of the Prince, it found its way into the Hofbibliothek in Vienna, where it now rests.
Toland, a notable historian of the early Church had access to this manuscript, and he refers to it in his miscellaneous works, which was published posthumously in 1747.
He said of the Gospel:
“This is in scripture style to a hair, the story of Jesus is very differently told in many things
from the received Gospels….being near as long again as many of ours. Someone would
make a prejudice in favor of it; because, as all things are best known just after they
happened, so everything diminishes the farther it proceeds from its original”

The publicity which to land, gave to this manuscript, made it impossible for it to share the same faith as another manuscript of the Gospel in Spanish which also once existed. This manuscript was presented to a college library in England at about the same time that the Italian translated manuscript was given to the Hofbibliothek. It had not been in England long before it mysteriously disappeared.
The Italian manuscript, its English translated manuscript by Canon and Mrs. Ragg, printed and published by the Oxford University Press in 1907, nearly the whole edition of this English translation abruptly and mysteriously disappeared from the market. Only two copies of this translation are known to exist, one in the British museum, the other in the Library of Congress in Washington DC, USA.
It is now generally accepted that the three earlier accepted Gospels. Known as the Synoptic Gospels, were copied from an earlier unknown Gospel which today’s researchers refer to as “Q”, for wanting of a better name. The question arises as to whether the apocryphal (forbiddin) Gospel of Barnabas is, in fact, this missing Gospel. It must be remembered that John, Mark was the son of the sister of Barnabas. He never met Jesus. It is known that Paul (formerly King Saul of Antoich who turned religious leader) and Barnabas on many of their missionary journeys up to the point when there was a sharp conflict between them, resulting to Barnabas and Mark going to Cyprus together. It is unlikely that Mark relied on Paul (who neither met Jesus) as a source of information, but from his uncle Barnabas (also Barabas). Luke, who also wrote the Acts of Apostles, never met Jesus. He was Paul’s personal physician. Mathew, who also never encountered Jesus, was a tax collector. It has been argued that Mark’s gospel might be the missing “Q” Gospel, and that Mathew and Luke use this Gospel when writing theirs. However, they recorded details, which Mark does not, and which implies that the Barnabas Gospel might be the missing “Q” Gospel, and should have been the officially accepted Gospel, but sadly not, for having been Islamic in nature.
Finally, it was not Jesus crucified on the cross. In 1987, the skeletal remains of Judas was found clutching a skin-leathered scroll with writings in Aramaic language stating, “I am Judas, I was paid by Jesus to betray him”, and Judas’s ankles were indicative of bones broken by nails on its sides, the usual way of crucifixion. The last words of the supposed Jesus on the cross were, “Elieh, Elieh, dami sabatani”, meant to be “Allah, Allah, dami sebatani”, the name, “Allah” often used by Jesus during his three year mission referring to the Almighty Allah, considered by others at the time, as word from the Tongues of Fire or referred to in modern times, as in ”talking in tongues”. It was why the soldier of the Roman Pagan Empire soaked the crucified man’s mouth (tongue, cut) with a cloth wrapped at the tip of the spear that was dipped in vinegar-water to have silenced the crucified man in not disclosing himself as Judas, as he was saying those last words on the cross. And the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947, indicated the Esseness secret society who indicated on their record files or scrolls, their fabricating of a “Savior of the World” and the latter’s supposed, crucifixion and ascension, in order to instill the separation of Jewish church and Roman government whose combined laws and powers had gone out of proportions deviating from the teachings of Moses. In the gospel of Judas, Jesus told the apostles to only thank God of your birth as we all have a mission to do goodness in encountering of evil. And whatever we gain in this material world, we only praise God for it in the manner of invoking the words, " ALHAMDULILLAH, O ALLAH" or "PRAISE ALLAH", that Jesus was referring to to the Almighty God as "ALLAH".
In 1946, the gospel of Philip was discovered and affirming all these. The supposed suicide of Judas after his crucifixion, staged to look like the guilt-ridden Judas of his betrayal to Jesus.
In 1959, questioned, the Vatican Catholic church declared the first Vatican Council stating that the Vatican is the only official authority to its doctrine and nobody else. Faced by legal impediments, the Vatican in 1962 declared the Second Vatican Council decreeing that, not only are they the Official Authority to its doctrine, but that, the Vatican is now then a United Nations Charter member, and thus, being its official authority of its doctrine, the Vatican of the Roman Catholic religion now is a sovereign state as by the U.N. Charter. Thus, will never be dissolve, although in contravention to their separation of church and government.
The Esseness, prior to becoming such, were the wealthy affluent and innovative and helpful people who had come from many parts of the region, predominantly of Hebrew-Jew and Sumerians, subjugated by heavy taxations to have instead given-up their wealth to the Jewish priesthood and the Roman Pagan Empire. These affluent and intellectual peoples fled to the hills using the rock enclaves as so-called “Hospitals” at that time for the sick and became the doctors, mathematicians and astrologers of their times. They formed their secret society, called Esseness. Conveniently, the arrival of the pregnant Mary (Sitti Fatima) and Joseph catered by the Esseness, the latter used to promote the later Nazarite or heretic- “religious rebel”, the pro-orthodox Jew (Jesus) to destroy the base elements in the Jewish priesthood that had gone out of proportions deviating from the original teachings of Moses and the Ten Commandments. To this day, Nabi Musa-Moses", Nabi Nu-Noah's and Nabi Ibrahim-Abraham's; their graves or tomb are catered by Muslims in its Maintainance and revered with dauly Islamic prayers or Duwaa, loocated in Islamic countries; as Turkey and/or Babylon-Iraq, and Palestine. Nabii-Prophet Jesus' coffin is in Rozabal-Kyanar, Kashmir in Northern India catered and maintained by Muslims is being revered by Muslims with daily prayers-Duwaa.. While his remains were shipped back to Jerusalem in Talpoit where it was discovered in 1980 by Archeologists.
In essence, the Prophets before Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), given the Messages of Allah for mankind, whether man knew it or not, were Islamic in nature. Messages to accord the nature of each nation, a messenger was sent, and because those messages were not complete nor final, it faded away along with its nations given, such as; the nation of Babel, Alexandria, Antoich and the Roman Empire to name some.

It was only through Mohammad, Peace be upon Him, that the completed and final message of Allah was given, the life-transactions or Life-ways for mankind and his means of approach to Allah during act of prayers. Evidently stated by Allah and indicated in the Holy and Glorious Qu’ran; “Mohammad, I have given unto thee the same religion given to the prophets before thee, and that is the religion of goodness (derives peace), and thou shalt callest Al-Islam.”. Mohammad also indicated in His Sunnah, “the same religion that He (Allah) established for you, as that of Noah, as sent by inspiration through Ibrahim (Abraham), Mosa (Moses) and Jesus, namely; that you should remain steadfast in Allah’s religion and make no division (nor deviation) therein. For those who worship things other than Allah, hard is the way which thou Callest them.”
The apocryphal (forbidden) books are now kept in Theosophical Society Libraries. One book, “The Mystical Jesus” explains and discloses the so-called “ascension and divinity” of Jesus, not to mention the twelve apostles used by the Esseness as “a vehicle” in promoting the cause of which Jesus is commissioned.
Three hundred twenty-five (325) years after the supposed death and resurrection of Jesus, the Council of Nicea declared the divine trinity and divinity of Jesus, decreeing him as God to suit the separation of religion and government. And Mary Magdalene as the apostle of the apostoles. Mary who had came from the community of brothels-Madaline. With that, King Saul (St. Paul) who had turned religious, used this decree and the Jesus story in the founding of a religion, the Pauline Christianity and its doctrine; the very doctrine that he fought as King Saul of Antoich, against the Zealots or defenders of the Jesus teachings. King Saul or referred to as St. Paul after his death, the Roman Empire continued to have conquered lands using the Pauline Christian Religion and naming it, as by the priesthood, the Roman Catholic Church, the Religion. The church naming a place, “Nazareth”, centuries after the supposed death of Jesus the Nazarite (heretic/religious radical) and presently referred to as “Jesus of Nazareth”.
500 years after Jesus, the Holy Qur'an by Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) was made through his dictates from Allah and 600 years after Jesus, the Roman Catholic Bible was made and ensued the Christian Crusades to convert all to Christianity as Islam was being a threat to them. Torture and death to those who refused to be Christianized and pork was induced to Christians as a sort of identifying trait for them. The only religion at the time that sort of ate pork.
Jesus, referring to the Almighty as "Allah" indicated in the apocryphal-secret books, His mission to have prepared the coming of Nabi-prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.), the latter given the completed and final message of Allah. All prophets foretold of a Messiah, one who would reaffirm the Iman-faith in the Almighty Allah, and one to alleviate the placement of man and his soul (Jin prior to inhabiting the physical body) in this physical realm and up to, and during his final Rubb or Judgement by Allah. All religions, to mention some, as Hinduism, Buddism, Jewish, Christianity and Islam, the latter given the completed and final message of Allah to Prophet Mohammad sealing the latter as the last of the Prophets, Professes still a Mindhi or Messiah. Does this, if not, imply the slim and probable possibility that the Messiah may be the Almighty Allah, Himself.
Wah Billahi Tawfiq Wal-hidaya. Wassalamu Alaikum Warahmatulahi, Wabarakatuhu.
NOTE:
As by archeologist and scientific findings, Jesus' coffin is at Khaynar-Rozabal, Kashmir, Northern India (place where He had enrolled as Joseph in the secret school of Helious from age 14 to 29) )and is being preserved, revered and prayers offered by the Muslims there, India where he retired and died at age 80). His remains were taken and buried in Talpiot-Jerusalam were it was discovered by Archeleogists inside a bone-box-stone engraved with His name "Jesus Ben Yosuf" (Jesus fathered or of by Uncle Joseph), along with other bone box engraved with the name of Mariame or Mary Magdalene, another with the name Judas, their son (apparently named after Judas Escariot who was paid by Jesus to betray Him and sacrificed himself on the cross to be Jesus, taken from the tomb and later hanged by the Romans to look as suicide) and other bone boxes of Jesus relatives and followers as St.Peter. Jesus real name was Ceasereas (son of Emperor Julius Ceasar) and half sister Se-lene (Mary Magdalene) the daughter of Mark Anthony. There were two other half brothers of Jesus and a supposed twin brother-Thomas, and Their mother was Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. Jesus and Magdalene had a first born daughter-Sarah in Meir-France after the supposed Crucifixion and is the present Patron Saint there as Santa Sarah. Allegedly, Santa Sarah, Her Icon was taken by Magellan to be the Santo Nino in Cebu. Jesus was truly a Prophet of Islam and truly all are Muslims. Masjid Al-Aqsa, believed to have been built by Adam is to this day where Muslims worship Allah, the Garden of Eden discovered in 1997 is at Goblekti Tepe, Northeast of Ufra in Southeastern Turkey Muslim State, Noah's Ark found in Mt. Ararat countrysides of Turkey and two other Ark found in EgypI and in India, The Ark of the Covenent with the Ten Commandments in it was found in Babylon by U.S. Troops 50kms south of Bagdad-Iraq. It was the 7th found of six others in other Muslim countries and ones found in Malabelle-Sudan and in India; its engravements or texts on the stone tablet is no longer readable but one. That one and only readable text is one that commands, "Thou shall not kill" in accordingly indicated in all seven discovered, allegedly. The Ark of the Covenant is made of copper box and laden with Gold contrary to the Christian version made of Acacia wood laden with Gold. The "Sermon on the Mount" was in Palestine or part of Palestine now Jordan, Jesus' birthplace was in Jerusalem formerly a part of Muslim Palestine until part was ceded to the Jews in the making of the State of Israel.. Truly, whether man (We) knew it or not, we were and are Muslims. Evident when Allah told Mohammad (Peace be upon Him), "Mohammad, I have given unto thee the same Religion that hath given the Prophets before you, and that is the Religion of goodness by which shall callest, Al-Islam", and truly Mohammad (s.a.w.) was the Prophet of Islam and Jesus a Prophet of Islam and Peace be upon them.
