certainly heard the saying of those who said: Surely ALLAH is poor and we are rich. I will record what they say, and their killing the prophets unjustly, and I will say: Taste ye the penalty of the scorching fire. And whoever obeys ALLAH and the Apostle (Muhammad, on whom be peace), these are with those upon whom ALLAH has bestowed favors from among the Prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they” – (Quran 3:21; 3:181; 4:69).
– Indeed, in the Jewish texts, Rabbis chanted throughout the history that he will universally restore the faith of all the previous prophets and their sanctity. In fact, he is “SUCH A PROPHET as it is stated in the Midrash on the verse, ‘Behold my servant shall prosper…’ Moses by the miracles which he wrought drew but a single nation to the worship of God, but the Messiah will draw all nations to the worship of God” – (David Lipscomb Cooper. Messiah: His nature and person, L. Cooper, London, 1933, p.49).
