The Advent of the Promised Messiah — Page 18
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 18 Hadith also lend support to this. Moreover, the inci- dent of the Mi’raj 1 of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also testifies to the Messiah’s death. The Holy Prophet sa gives eye-witness testimony as it were, because he saw Jesus as and John as together on the night of the Mi’raj. Likewise, there is the following verse: 2 %&'()*+, This also bars the Messiah from ascending to heaven alive. For, when the disbelievers demanded the Holy Prophet to show a miracle by ascending to heaven, Allah the Exalted gave him the answer: 3 %&'()*+, That is to say, my Lord is above and beyond going back on His promise. For He has already decreed that human beings are born in this very world and it is here that they shall die. God states: 1 A spiritual experience of the Holy Prophet sa where he ascended to the heavens. [Publisher] 2 Say, ‘Holy is my Lord! I am not but a man sent as a Messenger. ( Bani Isra’il, 17:94) [Publisher] 3 Ibid.
