Can you believe that John the Baptist is greater than Adam,
Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and many other Prophets? How
many pagans had John the Baptist converted, and how many
followers did he have? What were his main achievements? But
this is not the main point here.
The question is: who is the least

No other person upto now has ever claimed to be a prophet
with divine revelation since Jesus, except prophet Muhammed.
It is imperative that the followers of Jesus should at least read
the Qur’an, and decide to accept or reject the message.

“
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth
: I

at variance against his father, and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And
