The Memory and Understanding of Sayyiduna Isa:
Allah Almighty granted Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) an extraordinary memory. In addition, he was also a calligrapher and used to write the Torah by hand. He had such mastery over the Torah that when the Jewish scholars (the jurists and Pharisees) argued with him about any matter, he would convince them and silence them by quoting the Torah from memory, and the jurists and Pharisees would be astonished and amazed at the perfection of his memory.
The Accusation of the Jews Against Lady Maryam and Zakariya:
He was granted prophethood at the age of thirty. After that, he traveled continuously for three years and remained engaged in the preaching and propagation of the religion, and probably for this reason he began to be called "Masih." He made tireless efforts to reform the corrupted nation of the Jews. He reminded them of the commandments of the Torah and taught them anew. He pointed out their mistakes and misunderstandings. He recited and taught the commandments of the Gospel. But the condition of this corrupted nation did not improve. On the contrary, they became enemies of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), and accused Prophet Zakariya (peace be upon him) of adultery with Lady Maryam (peace be upon her), and eventually killed Prophet Zakariya (peace be upon him) for this reason. After Prophet Zakariya (peace be upon him), when Prophet Yahya (peace be upon him) affirmed Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), he too was killed through the intervention of the government. After the killing of these two prophets, the Jews became hostile to Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) and became his enemies. Finally, at the age of thirty-three, the Jewish scholars put him on trial and, through the intervention of the government, tried to crucify him, but Allah Almighty raised him alive, body and soul, to the heavens.
