ham, our father, who first entered the Kaabah sanctuary at
Mekka, and it is our bounden duty, if at all able, to visit this sacred
house. (3.)
_JESUS PREDICTS THE COMING OF MUHAMMAD_
Jesus, Mary's Son, said, "O Israelites, I am Allah's Apostle, sent to
confirm the Law of the Old Testament, and to bring you good tidings of a
great Apostle to come after me, whose name is Ahmad."[29] (61.)
_MUHAMMAD THE LAST AND GREATEST OF GOD'S MESSENGERS_
In the former times We sent Our apostles with convincing arguments and
all decisive miracles, and We gave them the Scriptures. We sent to men
Noah, Abraham, and the prophets, but many believed not. Then We sent Our
apostles, after whom came Jesus, Son of Mary. Then, last of all, came
Our great apostle, Muhammad. O all ye believers, fear God and obey the
words of Allah's messenger. (57.)

And God said, "O Isa [Jesus], I will cause Thee to die, but I will take

_ONE GOD, NOT THREE GODS, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE_
O ye who have received the Scriptures, do not believe more than these

Isa, and Mary.[30] There is but one God, and He can have no son. (4.)
_FORBIDDEN FOOD_
Ye are forbidden to eat that which dies of itself, blood, swine's flesh,
and that on which the name of any other god than Allah has been
invoked;[31] that which has been strangled, or killed by a blow, or by a
fall, or what has been gored to death, and whatever has been sacrificed
to idols. (5.)
_DIVINATION BY ARROWS CONDEMNED_
It is not allowed you to make division by casting lots with arrows.
_DENIAL OF THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST AND THE TRINITY_
