Was it Allah’s (S.W) w<strong>is</strong>dom, asthose, who were contemp<strong>or</strong>ary with him, saw in him? “And allIsrael heard of the judgment that the king had rendered,and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceivedthat the w<strong>is</strong>dom of God was in him to do justice.” (Kings (1)3/28).The sentence, “I was anointed from everlasting” (Modern KingJames Version) does not refer to Jesus (PBUH) the son of Mary(PBUH), as the w<strong>or</strong>d ‘Messiah’, which means anointed, was anattribute f<strong>or</strong> many beside Jesus (PBUH), whom Allah (S.W) hadblessed, namely the prophets David and Isaiah (PBUT).
