This Book Compiled from the Works of Ibn Kathir.
Jesus the Miracle Baby, The Prophet of Allah his Second Coming are
amongst many of the issues discussed in this book.
As well as prophethood and apostleship, Jesus was honoured with many other great
qualities and characteristics. The Quran says, with reference to his honour :
'Remember when the angels said,
'Allah is giving you the glad tidings of a word from Him, who’s name
shall be Masih, I`sa (Jesus) alayhis salaam, Son of Maryam (Mary), honoured
in this world and in the Hereafter and from the rank of those close to Him.'
TMQ 3/45.
Imam Ibn Kathir adds, 'Jesus’ rank was
extremely high in this world and also in the hereafter. Jesus was given the Injil
(Gospels) and the power to cure the leper and the blind and to bring back to
life those who had already died, he was also helped by the angel Gabriel on many
occasions.' All this was part of worldly honour. He was also endowed with
great wisdom and knowledge, as the Quran says:
'And Allah will teach him the book
and wisdom and Torah and Injeel (Gospels).' 3/48.
'Then Allah says, 'O Jesus,
the Son of Maryam (Mary)! Recount my favour upon you and your mother, when I
strengthened you with the angel Gabriel so that you speak to people in
childhood and maturity and when I taught you the book and wisdom and Torah
and Injeel.' 5/110.
Imam Ibn Kathir(d.774/1352) has said, in
explanation of this verse that I’sa 
(Jesus) was given the talent of writing and that Al Kitab in this
verse actually means Al Kitabah, which refers to writing ,as it is a noun
in the meaning of its verb, and this would signify that Jesus was not
unlettered.
