1) "He [Allah] has also informed me that Jesus is truly one of the very beloved and pious servants of God and is one of those who are the chosen people of God whom God purifies with His own Hand and keeps them under the shadow of His light..and is among the perfect ones.."
2) "There is no doubt that the Prophet Jesus as is a great Prophet of God. He is without question loved and honoured by God, a light of this world and the sun of guidance. He was glorified before the Lord God and possessed a status close to His throne."
3) "..the true love and true respect I have for Jesus, the Messiah, in my heart along with the statements which I heard from the tongue of Jesus, the Messiah..the message he gave me. All these matters have moved me to become an ambassador from Jesus to the court of Your Majesty."
4) "..It has been supposed that the heart of Jesus earned the application of ‘curse’ for three days. My body trembles with this thought and every particle of my being becomes restless. How can the word ‘curse of God’ be imagined to apply to the pure heart of the Messiah..."
5) "I dare to submit to you..to clear Jesus the Messiah, with courageous resolve, of this stigma placed upon his honour...I accept every danger for the sake of the honour of Jesus, the Messiah, and having been called to serve as his ambassador, I stand before our just ruler"
6) "Then, the Messiah, who was a true Prophet of God Almighty and His Beloved and Chosen One, to remove this false concept which had become entrenched in the hearts of the Jews due to their shortsightedness, laid before them those blessed words of his that are present in John.."
7) "I consider the Messiah as a true Prophet and a venerable and beloved servant of God Almighty. That was merely a remonstrative rejoinder that was appropriate to your taste, and that accusation falls on you, not on me"
8) "..I call God to witness that I bear such love for him..You can never recognize him with the enlightenment with which I recognize him..He was a beloved and exalted Prophet of God and was one of those who are particularly blessed by Him and purified by His hand."
9) "Similarly, the Jews level all kinds of charges against Hadrat ‘Isa as..Thus, when filthy-natured enemies have not spared such pure-natured and the holiest of men from their foul slanders of carnal indulgence, and have considered them to be lacking in self-purification."
10) "..with respect to the advent of the Promised Messiah, He has sent me from Heaven, so that in the spirit of that man of God, who was born in Bethlehem and brought up in Nazareth, I may engage myself in assisting with the good and blessed objectives of Her Majesty."
11) "..It was then that the God of Heaven raised a lightgiving moon from the land of Nazareth – ‘Isa [ Jesus], the Messiah; so that just as the word ‘Nazareth’ signifies verdure, freshness and greenery in Hebrew, the same could be instilled in the hearts of people."
12) "..neither shall the Promised Messiah engage in war, nor shall he raise the sword.. he will possess the essence and character of ‘Isa [Jesus], on whom be peace, in every respect. He shall be so imbued with his nature that it shall be as if he is exactly the like of him."
13) "..I hold the Messiah son of Mary, in high esteem..the Messiah son of Mary was the Khaatam-ul-Khulafaa of the Israelite dispensation. The Son of Mary was the Promised Messiah of the Mosaic dispensation..so I honour greatly the one whose name I bear.."
14) "No doubt, he was from among those near to God. He was blessed by Allah and had the distinction of prophethood."
15) "I wish to make it clear to our readers that our doctrine regarding the Messiah, peace be upon him, is a highly virtuous belief, and we maintain the conviction with all our hearts that he was a true Prophet of God Almighty..and that he too was a sincere servant.."
16) "And remember that we respect Hazrat Isa and consider him a Prophet of Allah Almighty. Whatever has been written by us about Hazrat Isa that goes against his stature, it is in the form of an Ilzami Jawab and in actuality, we have quoted the words of Jews.."
17) "I wish to make it clear to our readers that our doctrine regarding the Messiah, peace be upon him, is a highly virtuous belief, and we maintain the conviction with all our hearts that he was a true Prophet of God Almighty and His beloved."
