But Najashi decided to personally summon the Muslims and hearken to their sayings. Ja'far, who was the representative of the Muslims, began speaking at the presence of the king of Ethiopia. He said his words about the wrongdoings of idolatry, superstitions and transgressions of the Age of Ignorance. He informed Najashi of the advent of Islam and luminosity of the religion of Hadrat Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) . Ja'far spoke so influentially that Najashi wept and sent the pagans' presents back to them.

He said: "The Lord, Who gave me power, did not take bribery from me. Why should I take bribery from you?" That meeting ended with the benefit of Muslims and the loss of infidels. After this defeat, 'Amru'as contemplated and, on the following day, offered the king a new suggestion. In order to excite the religious zeal of Najashi, he told him that Muslims had some notions which were against his belief. Najashi summoned Muslims once more and asked them their belief about Messiah (a.s.).

In answer to him, Ja'far Tayyar recited some verses of the Qur'an from Sura Maryam up to the verse which says: " This is Jesus, son of Mary, a statement of truth, concerning which they doubt.". By hearing the verses of the Qur'an, Najashi shed tears and said: "This is the truth". After this second defeat, when 'Amru'as?

This is a straight path." Commentary: The persistence of Messiah (a.s.) on Monotheism, and his emphasis that the straight path is only this one, is an answer to the adherents of trinity as well as others. (A similar text to the abovementioned holy verse has also occurred in Sura 'A-l-i-'Imran, No. 3, verse 51, and Sura Az-Zukhruf, No. 43, verse 64).

Through introducing himself, Jesus (a.s.) said he was a servant of Allah: "…Verily I am servant of Allah …".(1) Then, the first command he received was about prayer and worship: "…and He has enjoined on me prayer…", (2) and the first program he announced was worshipping Allah: "… So worship (only) Him…". Thus taking Jesus as a Son of God is an alteration in religion which causes blasphemy.
