That’s very obviously mentioned in more than one place The fact is that whenever the rebuilding of the Kaaba is mentioned In one instance, Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. is known to have prayed to Allah that raise that Prophet from among them وَبَثِّهِمْ رُسُولًا مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُوْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِكَ وَيُعْلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّهِمْ This is applicable and only the name of Hazrat Ismail is mentioned to be with him And it is that house, twice we find this mentioned First before that house is built, it’s in the early stages And there is no town And there the prayer begins with رَبِّ جَلْ حَازَىٰ بَلَدًا آمِنًا That Oh my Lord, turn this place into a city It is not رَبِّ جَلْ حَازَىٰ بَلَدًا But it says رَبِّ جَلْ حَازَىٰ بَلَدًا آمِنًا That this barren place, this deserted place I request you to turn into a city And Hazrat Ismail is mentioned with him And then again this is treated at length When Hazrat Ismail is known to have offered himself in sacrifice.
At the bidding of his father of course, but he was ready by himself as well And then again it is repeated That he left him there and went And the sacrifice was completed So that prophet which is promised In the Bible in various places And that prophet is not only mentioned in the Old Testament But is also mentioned in the New Testament So that prophet was to be raised From the followers or from the progeny of Hazrat Ismail In the context of all this mention.
So you should have told him this Another place says that this parable about the gardener He said that when they killed his son So he just converted him into a heathen He said then this prophet will give you the help of Ismail But went back to the believers of heathen But it is not what is said there in Bible The opposite is said in Bible Allah says according to this parable of vineyard It is said that first Employees come in the form of laborers To work for the garden And the unruly people.
The rebellious people around Come and loot the garden and destroy it And also kill those laborers Now they are the ordinary prophets As the Christians themselves interpret Then ultimately God decided To send his own son And that is Christ himself Now then after Christ Comes God himself That means now the biggest Of the whole phenomena is to be revealed Now if son is to be taken literally Then God should come literally Then the whole parable is a literal explanation And the laborers should also be taken literally Only the other day when the Cambridge students came to me One of them was very persistent with this parable But he was honest enough ultimately to accept to this argument When I gave him this argument I said alright let us first decide Whether this parable is a metaphor or a literal statement If the laborers mentioned are literal Then the whole thing should be taken as literal Son of God as well as God himself Then Jesus does not return anyway He has come once and has returned as failure.
Then comes God If it is to be taken metaphorically Then the son of God is not real son of God That also has to be sacrificed by you You have to compromise on this as well That Jesus came metaphorically as son of God And having failed Allah decided to manifest himself In a greater way as if Allah himself had come And as if will be added now So I told them that look at the Bible Not a single prophet Including Jesus Christ Has ever been described by Bible as God It is the only book, the Holy Quran Which describes Muhammad Mustafa S.A.W. in two places As manifestation of God In one instance the Holy Quran addresses him as What you threw is what you threw But Allah threw In another instance the Holy Quran says That those who are getting initiated at your hand Are in fact getting initiated at the hand of Allah And to further emphasize this statement It says It is Allah’s hand which is over their hands.
So that completes the picture And those who do not take these statements as metaphorical As literal For them it is no problem Because right from the beginning we understand the whole phenomena And see it solved It is so simple as that And those who insist on it being literal They will run into many more problems than they will be able to solve They will retain the so called concept Literal concept of son of God But they will have to sacrifice the whole parable for the sake of this
