(٥٩)begotten Son of God.”never judge any<strong>one</strong>.IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?(John 3/17 ASV). Theref<strong>or</strong>e, Jesus willJohn confirmed th<strong>is</strong> again by saying, “If any<strong>one</strong> hears my w<strong>or</strong>dsand does not keep them, I do not judge him. F<strong>or</strong>, I did notcome to judge the w<strong>or</strong>ld but to save the w<strong>or</strong>ld. The <strong>one</strong> wh<strong>or</strong>ejects me and does not receive my w<strong>or</strong>ds has a judge. Allah(S.W) and h<strong>is</strong> statute) the w<strong>or</strong>d that I have spoken will judgehim on the last day.” (John 12:47-48)Jesus (PBUH), whom Chr<strong>is</strong>tians claim to be the Judge of all, couldnot guarantee heaven f<strong>or</strong> h<strong>is</strong> cousins and d<strong>is</strong>ciples, sons ofZebedee, because Allah (S.W) did not give him th<strong>is</strong> auth<strong>or</strong>ity. He,who cannot do so, <strong>is</strong> incapable of having absolute Judgment. Themother of the two sons came to Jesus (PBUH). After he asked herabout her inquiry, she said, “Say that these two sons of mineare to sit, <strong>one</strong> at your right hand and <strong>one</strong> at your left, inyour kingdom. Jesus an<strong>sw</strong>ered,… but to sit at my righthand, and at my left <strong>is</strong> not mine to grant, but it <strong>is</strong> f<strong>or</strong> thosef<strong>or</strong> whom it has been prepared by my Father.” (Matthew20/20-22).If Chr<strong>is</strong>tians still ins<strong>is</strong>t that the judgment <strong>is</strong> <strong>one</strong> of Jesus’ (PBUH) acts(PBUH), then many others share that with him. Among those are h<strong>is</strong>twelve d<strong>is</strong>ciples, including the betrayer Judas. “Jesus said tothem, “Truly, I say to you, in the new w<strong>or</strong>ld, when the Sonof Man will sit on h<strong>is</strong> gl<strong>or</strong>ious thr<strong>one</strong>, you who havefollowed me will also sit on twelve thr<strong>one</strong>s, judging thetwelve tribes of Israel.’’ (Matthew19/28), (see also Luke 22/30)Paul and the other saints will judge not only the people, but also theangels and the entire w<strong>or</strong>ld as well. He said, ‘Or do you not knowthat the saints will judge the w<strong>or</strong>ld?... Do you not know thatwe are to judge angels?’ (C<strong>or</strong>.(1) 6/2-3). They will judge theangels and the whole w<strong>or</strong>ld but they are not gods, thus, judgmentcannot be evidence of divinity, unless we consider all of the abovementi<strong>one</strong>d, gods.It <strong>is</strong> w<strong>or</strong>th mentioning here that Jesus’ judgment of people -if it <strong>is</strong> true– <strong>is</strong> a gift from Allah (S.W) to Jesus the man; he perf<strong>or</strong>ms it based onh<strong>is</strong> humanity, “And he has given him auth<strong>or</strong>ity to executejudgment, because he <strong>is</strong> the Son of Man.” (John 5/27).
