The Bible - Isaiah | verse 6

Shaykh-ul-Islaam Ibnul Qayyim about:

The Bible - Isaiah | verse 6-9

6 For thus has the Lord said to me:
Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he sees.

7: And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen,
A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,
And he listened earnestly with great care.

8 Then he cried, A lion, my Lord!
I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime;
I have sat at my post every night.

9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!
Then he answered and said,

Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
And all the carved images of her gods
He has broken to the ground.

Ibnul Qayyim:
"Both we and the Christians believe that the horseman(on donkey) is the Messiah, while the rider on the camel is Muhammad (sall Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). He is more known to ride camels than what Messiah is known to ride on donkeys. And also, it was with Muhammad (sall Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) the Babylon idols fell, not with the messiah. In Babylon have idols been worshiped since Ibraheem's time all the way until they fell with Muhammad (sall Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam).
