126. Essence of Islam-IV one who by his very nature is rightly guided, is heir to all guidance, and is an embodiment of the reflection of God's attribute Hādī [the Guide]. The grace and mercy of God Almighty has made me an heir to both these titles in this age and has combined these two titles in my person. In line with these meanings, I am both Jesus the Messiah and Muḥammad the Mahdī. In. Islamic idiom, this kind of advent is called Burūz. " I have been bestowed two types of Burūz, the Burūz of. Jesus as and the Burūz of Muḥammadsa. By way of Burūz, therefore, my being is a combination of the beings of these two Prophets. In my capacity of Jesus the. Messiah, it is my function to restrain the Muslims from wild attacks and bloodshed. The Aḥādīth set forth clearly, that when the Messiah comes back to the world, he would put an end to all religious wars. This is now being done. . . . In my capacity as Muḥammad the Mahdī, it is my function to re-establish the Unity of God with heavenly signs, for our lord and master the Holy Prophet. Muḥammada had established the Majesty and Power and Might of God in the hearts of the idolaters of. Arabia through heavenly signs. I have been helped by the Holy Spirit in the same manner.
