Edition Notes
This revised edition of Jesus, Prophet of Islam was prepared by the surviving co-author, Ahmad Thomson, after Muhammad Ata’ur-Rahim’s death, alayhi rahma. The main additions in this revised edition were as follows: it expanded the historical study of how the split between the original Semitic Unitarian followers of Jesus and the European Trinitarian followers of Paul of Tarsus steadily developed until it became irreversible; it considered more closely the authenticity, accuracy and reliability of the texts on which current editions of the Bible are based, including a careful scrutiny of the arguments for and against the current surviving editions of the Gospel of Barnabas; it expanded the last two chapters which explore what the Qur’an and the Hadith say about Jesus, peace be on him – not only concerning his miraculous birth and original mission, but also his second coming. By considering what the Atheists, the Jews, the Unitarian Christians, the Trinitarian Christians and the Muslims say about Jesus, it is hoped that the reader will be better able to judge who are nearest the truth in their understanding of this incredible being who had no human father and who performed miracles by the permission of his Creator.

Work Description
Jesus, Prophet of Islam is a study of the life and teachings of Jesus, peace be on him, and of the history of the interaction between Unitarian Christianity and Trinitarian Christianity, written from a Qur’anic perspective.
“It should perhaps be emphasised that the title of this book is not intended to be provocative. It has always been understood by Muslims at least that the way of life which was embodied by all of the Prophets, may the blessings and peace of God be on them and on their families and companions and true followers, was essentially one and the same life-transaction, grounded in the worship of the One Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that exists, both in the Seen and in the Unseen worlds – the way of Islam. Like all the Prophets before him, Jesus, peace be on him, confirmed the Prophets who had come before him – especially Moses, peace be on him – and foretold the coming of the Prophet who would come after him – Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace – and as with all of the Prophets, the simple way of life that Jesus followed was the way of total submission to his Lord, the way of Islam. When the way of Islam is viewed from this perspective, then it is clear that not only Jesus, but indeed all the Prophets – and especially Muhammad – were Prophets of Islam. It is, when understood in this sense, impossible to make any distinction between them.” [quoted from the Preface to the revised edition of Jesus, Prophet of Islam, page vii]
