THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Jesus was quoted as saying (Matthew 11:11): "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater one than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he that is 93 least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he."

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 in the kingdom of heaven, greater than John the Baptist? Surely not Jesus, as at that time the kingdom of heaven was not yet established, and he never claimed to be the least, i.e. the youngest / last prophet. The kingdom of heaven consists of God as the Supreme Being and all Prophets. The least or youngest one is Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), the last and final Prophet. 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.
