Answer:
Was jesus message
universal
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Every single Prophet who were sent by Allah Subhanah
before the Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws), without
exception, were sent as a guide and as a warner only to their people. Only the Message revealed by the Lord Most
Majestic unto His Last and Final Messenger, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws) was
universal and for all mankind until the end of time!
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.429 Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Every
Prophet (who came before me) were sent to their nation exclusively, but I have
been sent to all of mankind.”
Allah Subhanah Himself confirms in Truth in His Glorious
Quran that the Noble Messenger of Allah, Prophet Isa ibn Maryam (a.s.) was sent
as a Prophet only unto the Bani Israel and not for the whole of mankind…..
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah
Ale-Imraan verses 45-51:
45 Behold! The Angels said "O Mary! Allah gives thee glad tidings
of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus the son of Mary held in honor
in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.
46 He (Jesus) shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity
and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.
47 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath
touched me?" He said: "Even
so: Allah creates what He Wills; when He hath Decreed a plan He but Says to it
`Be' and it is!”
48 "And Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Wisdom the Law
and the Gospel.
49 And (appoint him) as
a Messenger unto the Children of Israel (with this Message): “I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord
in that I make for you out of clay as it were the figure of a bird, and breathe
into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave; and I heal those born blind
and the lepers and I quicken the dead by Allah's leave; and I declare to you
what ye eat and what ye store in your houses.
Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe.
50 (I have come to you) to attest the Law which was before me and to
make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you; I have come to
you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear
Allah and obey me.
51 It is Allah who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a way that is Straight."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 61 Surah
Saff verse 6:
6 And remember Jesus the son of Mary said: "O Children of
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
