David Daughters

 

 (Mary & Narjis)

 (1st Episode)

بنات داود مريم ،ونرجس. الحلقة الأولى.

 

Two characters have been placed under the custody of Heaven ever since they were born; carefully nurtured and treasured throughout two sources, either the apostles of God or first-hand from God. The more we introduce to their virtues and features, the more we start to envision that what the entire Heavenly Messages and the prophets' errands are pouring into, that is, the attainment of the pure worship of Allah as the ultimate divine intent for the human procession, shall be fully accomplished by means of those two characters alone, not anyone else.

  

Furthermore, this historical extensive human procession on earth, as well as some clues from the ancient religious books and Scriptures, and some antiquated relics or obsolete objects survived the passage of time from earth or the wider universe, have exhibited for us that all the stages of the physical creation which are unknown save by Allah, were but to reach the most sublime goals for humankind whose path to the Creator's wisdom culminates at the hand of those two characters.

 

Two characters enveloped by wonders and marvels, and thus people split up about them; there were those who had utterly no faith in them and those who had confirmed faith in them, some discounted and disesteemed them, and others fell for them placing them on a par with God, or alloyed them with the superstitions of extinct folks. They are:

 

 Jesus and his mother

Al-Qā'im and his mother

 

The first was born without a father to stand as a touchstone of truth testing people's faith, but soon he was snatched by Heaven and raised to undergo further preparations for the Hard Day. He is still alive as attested by Holy Books and historical narrations from different nations and folks.

 

The second was born and snatched  from his mother too. He was endowed with extended life, noting that in order to render the idea of longevity beyond normal laws sustainable, God had set the scene by extending the life-span of universally influential figures before him starting from Prophet Adam and ending with Prophet Al-Kudhur, Elijah (Elias), Melchizedek and the most notorious Al-Dajjal. This way, the long-lasting duration was no longer uncommon for people who are used to a specific age norm. However, as is the case, if he ever died, his followers would have erected around his grave lofty golden domes just as they did to his forefathers, and equally true, his birth would have been certified and documented by historians, but we find no reference made on his death. 

 

We inherited a tradition of esoteric prophesies, texts and indices running along the pre-appearance stage of the awaited descendants, viz. the 'above two characters'. A tradition, replete with unprecedented extraordinary events, leading us to conjecture some notions which run counter to the whims and desires of some factions or inversely they support another faction against whom they nurse a historical grudge. Yet, no matter how they react, these are reality-based facts which have been documented by religious books, such as:

 

 “Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, ........., The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

(Isaiah 9:1-7)

 

In view of this, how can one help not to stop over these texts, filled with curiosity as to why Heaven is so concerned with this character?

 

What do these texts indicate? What is that Day when a Kingdom of Justice shall arise and be eternalised? Who is that leader who is described as a bountiful light that shall shine upon the dwellers of earth who are dimmed in the shades of death, and thus they rejoice just as the harvesters would rejoice at the crop after a prolonged diligence? Who is he who will smash every tool of weapon? What kind of merit does this newborn have so that God would ascribe him to Himself saying: 'unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given', whereby he puts the pillar of leadership on his shoulders, being qualified for that with full vigour? Does the reader have no right to be inquisitive as to who is he that the Holy Scriptures cherish his name and Heaven gives him such a mountainous attention, heaping praise on him as Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace; no end for peace at his hands.

 

We Christians do not hold the belief that he is the Messiah as these descriptions by no means conform to him in the way he led his life. These are descriptions of a warrior, an exceptionally strong man, while Jesus was far afield from this portrait; he has not been identified as a fighter nor had he ruled over a land, nor achieved any chapter of his intended epic. Anyhow, this is about a distant future to be realised in the long run by a person who descends from a prophet, whom the Torah describes in such a way that anyone aspiring for peace and security would yearn to live under his leadership and wardship: 

 

  “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse (i.e. Jesse & Al-Qā'im), which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to him shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.”

(Isaiah 11: 1-10)

 

Has this come to be true during Christ life or ever been realised at his hands? Have the lamb and wolf coexisted peacefully side by side? Has there been a contemporary character, called Al-Qā'im, at his age? Not at all, Jesus was unable to stand up for himself let alone standing for others, added to the fact that the text says: 'And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse (i.e. Jesse & Al-Qā'im)', that is, it revolves around two characters of extreme importance to come in future, yet the nations would pursue one of them, the one in question: 'to him shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.'

 

Who is he then? Why is his name associated with Jesus? From whose lineage shall he descend? Why is his name linked to David, just as Jesus from the side of his mother? Bearing in mind that David and Solomon personify power, dominion and mastery over creatures, scientific phenomena and universal laws, e.g. walking on water he and his soldiers from humans, Jinn and animals, flying in the air with millions of his followers, hearing the most subtle sound of the smallest creatures, moving things in a flashing speed from east to west, subjugating the most mutinous of giant Jinn royalties with their tribes besides the human royalties on earth, so much so that they kneel before him with servility and humbleness, 'Al-Qā'im' is likewise  supernatural as affiliated with David and Solomon from the side of his mother. Who is he then? And who is his mother?
