another prophecy that jesus gave, tells us about the expected messiah. it confirms that he is the greatest of all prophets, he is the prophet named elijah, and that he is the prophet whom the previous prophets took turns prophesying. jesus (pbuh) said, "truly, i say to you, amongthose born of women, none is greater than john: yet the one who is least in the kingdom of god is greater than he. from the days of john, the baptist, until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.  for all the prophets and the law prophesied until john.  and if you are willing to accept it, he is elijah, who is to come. he who has ears to hear, let him hear. " (matthew: 11/11-15) thus, the smaller in the kingdom of heavens is elijah, the one proclaimed to come, the one the prophets told about one after another, ending by john the baptist.

who is elijah, the smaller in the kingdom of heavens? he is muhammad the messenger of god (pbuh). who is small by his delay in time compared to the rest of the prophets, but he exceeded them all by the completion of his message, and with god granting his faith to be the final religion until the day of judgment, so if he was not muhammad (pbuh), who will he be?

it is not acceptable that the christian claim that jesus (pbuh) is the last messenger and prophet, basing their claim on believing in his disciples’ message and even in others’ like paul. moreover, his message (pbuh) was not completed, for the correction and the editing made by the apostles in the first jerusalem council claiming that it is to make it easy for the new christians convert, so they cancelled circumcision, and allowed some of what the torah made unlawful.

based on that, the word "the smaller" does not match jesus (pbuh), because he was not the last prophet. in addition, it was not stated or understood that he was talking about himself when he said, " truly, i say to you, amongthose born of women, none is greater than john: yet the one who is least in the kingdom of god is greater than he. from the days of john, the baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.  for all the prophets and the law prophesied until john.  and if you are willing to accept it, he is elijah, who is to come. he, who has ears to hear, let him hear." (mathew: 11/11-15).

that smaller comes with the kingdom of heavens, which had not been established at that time, and he was proclaimed to come but he has not come yet, he is muhammad (pbuh).
