A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 78
78 A critical Review of the Pamphlet—‘f a te h -e-Qadian’ Jesus [ Hadrat ‘ I s a as ] is Certainly Not Alive The Holy Quran has presented many sure proofs of the death of Jesus [ Hadrat ‘ I s a as ]. To be brief, we shall present only two verses which are decisive and leave no room for escape for those who stand to oppose the clear import of the Holy Quran. FIRST VERSE One of the clear verses that give news of the death of Jesus [ Hadrat ‘ I s a as ] is: The Messiah, son of Mary [Mas ih Ibn-e-Maryam as ], was only a Messenger; surely, Messengers like unto him had indeed passed away before him. And his mother was a truthful woman. They both used to eat food. 47 The death of Jesus [ Hadrat ‘ I s a as ] is clearly established from this verse. First, it is stated that the Messiah, son of Mary [Mas ih Ibn-e- Maryam as ], was no more than a messenger. At the same time, it is declared that all the messengers before him have passed away as though an irrefutable proof is given of the death of Jesus. It is the same sort of speech as if one were to say, ‘Tom is nothing but a man and all men are created from dust’. As this sentence establishes that certainly Tom is created from dust in the same way the above 47 S u rah al-M a ’idah 5:76
