Defence Against the Plague & A Criterion for the Elect of God 25 the Prophethood of Muhammad. Instead, the Maulav i , like his brethren, wishes only for the same ibn Maryam —whose false divinity has drowned approximately five hundred million people in the swamp of misguidance—to descend with his hands upon the shoulders of angels, and by virtue of this new divine mani - festation, bring another five hundred million to join the first five hundred million. For no one actually witnessed him ascend to the heavens. As the old adage has it: رم�ی�داں ےم رپادنن. �پ�ی�راں ہن ےم رپدن Saints do not fly, it is their disciples who give them wings. But now, if the entire world were to see him descend flanked by angels, the Christian clerics would seize the maulav i s by their throats and ask, did we or did we not say that he is indeed ‘God’? What will be the state of Islam on such an infamous day—will anything remain of Islam in the world? الكاذبین ى لعنۃ الل ّٰ عل [The curse of Allah be upon the liars]. They unjustly raise to heaven one who is buried in Mohalla Khanyar, Srinagar, Kashmir. How great an injustice! God has the power to do everything in accord - ance with His promises. But He will in no way send a person back to earth whose first advent resulted in a devastating trial for the world. These maulav i s, the simpleton friends of Islam, do not realise how much the Christians have been aided by such beliefs. God Almighty does not wish to further embellish the glory of ibn Maryam in this world. In fact, He is already greatly displeased with the extent to which Hadrat Mas ih has been unduly praised.
