8) Christ the true Ayatollah (Sign of Allah)
Everyone who studies the above-mentioned Qur'anic verses about the followers of Christ, together with the verses from the Holy Bible, can recognize that the greatest of all signs is Christ himself. He was a real man and the Spirit of Allah at the same time. He was the reason for, and the summary of, all his miracles. He, himself, is the miraculous Sign of Allah for all men and for all his angels. He is not dead, but he is alive with Allah.
"… and we will appoint him a sign unto men and a mercy from us …" (Sura Maryam 19:21)
ا ... وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِنَّا ... (سُورَة مَرْيَم ١٩ : ٢١)
"… and we appointed her and her Son to be a sign for all worlds." (Sura Al-Anbiya' 21:91)
ا ... وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ. (سُورَة الأَنْبِيَاء ٢١ : ٩١)
"And we made Mary's Son, and his mother, to be a sign …" (Sura Al-mu'minun 23:50).
وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً ... (سُورَة الْمُؤْمِنُون ٢٣ : ٥٠)
All men who obtained the title Ayatollah, as among the Shi'ites, received it for their own diligence, except the Son of Mary and his mother, who are the only and the unique sign (miracle) that was directly appointed by Allah himself. He presented them as an example to all men, angels and demons. He who studies Christ's life, character, birth, death, atonement and eternity becomes wise and receives eternal blessings and spiritual power.
