In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful O you who seek for Truth! Do you see all this? Glorify the Name of Allah, the Forgiving and Merciful! He has sent forth His Book and His Messiah, with Guidance and the Faith of Truth! Blessed is he who comes in the name of Allah — with him is the Essence of the Book. The Words of Wisdom shall be given in Truth and Righteousness; Nothing shall be corrupted! It is given to him and his seed forever. Allah ‘designed this’ to be but ‘good news’ for you, so that your hearts might be comforted! O John! The Messiah, ‘the Standing One!’ Even your son stands! What kind of child do you have who does such things? You have a smart child and he has a mind; he is full of much grace and wisdom — he is something great. Truly the Spirit of Allah lives in him and his portion shall be with you in the world to come! This is a heavenly child for he saved many souls from death, and can save them all his life. Since you have such a child, and he has understanding — teach him to bless with knowledge and understanding and proclaim this Word to men. Now let what is yours bear fruit! ….. Son of John! Take hold of the Book with Might! You are a leader. Rise up and glorify the Name of Allah! Go forth and preach to the whole creation, as the first to do what the king commands — for so it is written! O Mankind! The Great Day of the Lord has come. Indeed, you have a good example for everyone who looks forward to Allah and the Last Day! Now let this be your Book to Guide you to Paradise! Receive the Truth and reject not these things. Everyone who listens to ‘this teaching’ and acts upon it, will be like a sensible man, and ‘anyone’ who listens to this teaching and does not act upon it, will be like a foolish man. Do what you wish! (The Sacred Treasury, Fathers)
