Sura Al-Saff from 6 to 14


6. And ( remember ) when ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) , son of Maryam ( Mary ) , said: « O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allâh unto you, confirming the Taurât [ ( Torah ) which came ] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad. [ 1 ] But when he ( Ahmad i.e. Muhammad ( saas ) ) came to them with clear proofs, they said: » This is plain magic. « [ 2 ] »
7. And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allâh, while he is being invited to Islâm? And Allâh guides not the people who are Zâlimûn ( polytheists, wrong- doers and disbelievers ) folk.
8. They intend to put out the Light of Allâh ( i.e. the Religion of Islâm, this Qur’ân, and the Prophet Muhammad ( saas ) ) with their mouths. But Allâh will bring His Light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate ( it ) .
9. He it is Who has sent His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) with guidance and the religion of truth ( Islâmic Monotheism ) to make it victorious over all ( other ) religions even though the Mushrikûn ( polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad ( saas ) ) hate ( it ) .
10. O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment?
11. That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives: that will be better for you, if you but know!
12. ( If you do so ) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in ‘Adn ( Eden ) Paradise; that is indeed the great success.
13. And also ( He will give you ) another ( blessing ) which you love, - help from Allâh ( against your enemies ) and a near victory. And give glad tidings ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) to the believers.
14. O you who believe! Be you helpers ( in the Cause ) of Allâh as said ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) , son of Maryam ( Mary ) , to the Hawâriyyûn ( the disciples ) : « Who are my helpers ( in the Cause ) of Allâh? » The Hawâriyyûn ( the disciples ) said: « We are Allâh’s helpers » ( i.e. we will strive in His Cause! ) . Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the victorious ( uppermost ) .

[1] (V.61:6) i.e. the second name of Prophet Muhammad (saas) and it (Ahmad) literally means: "One who praises Allâh more than others".

[2] (V.61:6) A) Narrated Jubair bin Mut‘im (raa): Allâh’s Messenger (saas) said, "I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad; I am Al-Mahî through whom Allâh will eliminate Al-Kufr (infidelity); I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected thereafter; and I am also Al-‘Âqib (i.e. there will be no Prophet after me)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadîfh No.732).
B
) Narrated Abû Hurairah ( raa ) : Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) said, « By Him ( Allâh ) in Whose Hand my soul is, surely, the son of Mary [ ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) ] ( as ) * will shortly descend amongst you people ( Muslims ) , and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Qur’ân ( as a just ruler ) , and will break the Cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah [ a tax taken from the people of the Scriptures ( Jews and Christians ) , who are under the protection of a Muslim government. This Jizyah tax will not be accepted by ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) ( as ) and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative ] . Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts. » ( See Fath Al- Bari , Page No. 304 and 305, Vol. 7 ) , ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol. 3, Hadîth No.425 ) .
* ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) , the son of Maryam ( Mary ) ( as ) will descend as a leader of the Muslims and it is a severe warning to the Christians who claim to be the followers of ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) and he will break the Cross and kill the pigs, and he will abolish the Jizyah ( tax ) ; and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative.
