A Sign of Allah 11 Of a word from Him (Surah Aal ‘Imran, 3:46) [Publisher].
Defence Against The Plague 1 Let it be known that when I state that Hazrat ‘Isa [Jesus], peace be upon him, was better than most of the people of his generation, this is a statement by way of goodwill. Otherwise, it is possible that in the time of Hazrat ‘Isa, peace be upon him, there were other righteous ones on God Almighty’s earth who, in their piety and relationship with Allah, were greater and loftier than Hazrat ‘Isa, peace be upon him. For Allah the Exalted has said in regards to him: [surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3:46]. Meaning that, he too was one from among those who were granted nearness to God during his time. This does not prove that he was greater than all those who had been granted nearness to God; rather, it raises the possibility that others in his time were greater than him in this regard.
