The Heavenly Decree — Page 14
14 A sm a n i Fai s lah there is no mention at all in the Quran of the lifting to heaven. On the contrary, Allah mentions exalting the Messiah as to Himself after causing him to die. Just as all the pious persons who pass away are addressed with: 9 the same elevation and exaltation towards Allah—for which death is a precondition—was granted to Hadrat Mas ih as. Being elevated to the sky is nothing compared to this exaltation towards Allah. Alas! how these people have turned their backs upon the Quran, how completely its majesty has left their hearts and how they have come to love baseless form in place of the pure Word of Allah. They are loaded with books, but Allah has taken away their understanding. Considerations of victory and defeat have overcome honesty and faith, and vanity and pride have kept them from accepting the truth. I am not the least bit hurt that Mi yan Nadh i r H usain and his acolytes proclaimed a false victory—in total contrast to the facts—and concealed the reality. Neither have I any reason to feel hurt when the absolute truth and fact is that Mi yan Sahib himself has been defeated and vanquished forever with great humiliation and his fall is such that he shall never rise up again, and shall pass 9 Return to thy Lord. (The Holy Quran, Al-Fajr, 89:29) [Publisher]
