A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 111
Signs of the advent of the Messiah and Mahdi 111 The prophecy that after his demise, the Promised Messiah will enter the grave of the Holy Prophet sa could not mean that, God forbid, the grave of the Holy Prophet sa will be exhumed. These are fallacies, full of insolence and disrespect, of these people who think only material thoughts. What it means is that in his station of nearness he will be so close to the Holy Prophet sa , that after death he will be granted the station of being closest to the Holy Prophet sa and the Promised Messiah’s soul will unite with the soul of the Holy Prophet sa as though they were both in one grave. This is the true meaning but anyone can imagine whatever other meaning they like. The spiritual people do know that after death physical nearness has no relevance. Everyone who has any spiritual nearness to the Holy Prophet sa , his soul is brought near to the Holy Prophet sa. As Allah says in the Holy Quran: 57 The prophecy that he will not be killed indicates that letting the final Caliph killed would be a cause for disgrace to Islam. For the same reason, the Holy Prophet sa was saved from being killed. ( H aqiqatul-Wa hi , pp. 307–313 , R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 22, pp. 320–326) Finally, we present here another sign of the Promised Messiah and end our discussion on the subject. Hadrat Imam B a qir has reported this hadith: 57 So enter you among My chosen servants. And enter you My Garden. ( S u rah al-Fajr 89:30–31)
