JESUCRISTO EL HIJO DE MARIA Y SU BENDITA MADRE
Fuente: http://www.livingislam.org/
Traducción: Omar Al Galliqi
La baraka y la paz de Dios a nuestro Profeta Muhammad, la gente de su Casa, sobre todos ellos.

Traducción de una charla que dio en árabe en Dâr al-Fatwâ en Beirut, Líbano el 10 de enero de 2003 por el Shaykh Al-Sayyid ALI JAFRI Al HABIB del Yemen.

(Traducido por GF Haddad – Dhul-Qi `da 1423)
Nota: Dâr al-Fatwâ en Beirut es el principal organismo sunita a cargo de Las fatwâ dadas en la República del Líbano y comprende una Universidad Islámica que ofrece licenciatura, maestría y doctorado en Sharî `A.

[Nota añadida por el traductor]
(La Gloria pertenece a Dios que ha enviado a Su siervo el Libro
y no ha asignado hasta que cualquier curvatura) (18:1).
Doy testimonio de que no hay dios sino el Dios Único, sin pareja, y testifico de que sayidina Muhammad es Su siervo y Mensajero.

Que Allâh le bendiga, salude y de Su bendición a él y a sus antepasados y hermanos entre los Profetas y Mensajeros (nuestros señores Abraham, Moisés, Jesús y todos los que intervienen: los Profetas, y a su Casa y a a sus Compañeros y a aquellos que les siguen
fielmente hasta el Día del Juicio!) El honor y el propósito de la religión:
Para comenzar: Dios Altísimo, el Exaltado, nos ha otorgado el inmenso honor
De elegirnos para esta magnífica religión, la religión del Islam que fue buenamente bendecida al hacerla el sello de todas las religiones, las La vía que es correcta y verdadera para todos los tiempos y todos los lugares. Una persona que pertenece
a esta religión, a sí mismo se prepara para una tarea más importante y para una enorme misión: lograr la excelencia para llevara los pueblos de la tierra las pruebas manifiestas para sembrar la raíz, la dirección, y la guía a seguir como orientación hacia los cielos.

De este modo, la grandeza de esta religión es que ha llegado a preparar a sus adherentes y seguidores para una tarea inmensa, la más importante.

Gran parte gracias a nuestro maestro, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, para compartir con nosotros este artículo.
