Prophecy regarding the coming Messiah -- fulfilled in Isa al Masih


Isaiah 42

 1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
 2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
 3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
 5 Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
 6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
 7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
 8 I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
American Standard Version (ASV)

Unless the mind catch fire, God will not be known .                                                   William Blake, English Poet   “Oh that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll, that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever! I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed , yet in my flesh I will see God ; I myself will see him, with my own eyes – I, and not another.”                                      Job 19:23-27a FIRST SUNDAY AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 TH       T ime and time again scripture

Wake Up America -- A Couple of Paragraphs from A.A. Maududi on Jihad and the Defense of Islam

From the writings of A.A. Maududi, Towards Understanding Islam DEFENSE OF ISLAM      “The defense of Islam is not a fundamental belief but its importance has been repeatedly emphasized in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It is essentially a test of our sincerity as believers in Islam. If we do not defend a friend of ours against plots or assaults from his enemies, nor care for his needs, we are indeed false pretenders of friendship. In the same way, if we profess belief in Islam, we must jealously guard and uphold the prestige of Islam. Our sole guide for our conduct must be the interests of Muslims at large and the service of Islam in the face of which all our personal considerations must sink low.” JIHAD      “Jihad is a part of this overall defense of Islam. Jihad means to struggle to the utmost of one’s capacity. A man who exerts himself physically or mentally or spends his wealth in the cause of God is indeed engaged in jihad.
