A Hidden Truth — Page 31
31 A prince arrived in Kashmir from some other land. He was a paragon of piety, righteousness, devotion and worship. God appointed him as a Prophet after which he travelled to Kashmir and engaged himself in preaching to the Kashmiris. His name was Yuz Asaf. Many a recipient of true visions from God — and in particular Mullah Inayatullah, who is the spiritual guide of this author — have said that this grave emits the blessings of prophethood. This passage is in the Persian Tarikh-e-A’zami , which has been translated above. The Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College Magazine published a review of the book Shahzadah Yuz Asaf written by Mirza Safdar Ali, a surgeon in the army of the government of Nizam. In their September 1896 and October 1896 issues, they write: The clergy have somewhat interpolated the narrative relating to the famous story of Yuz Asaf that has become greatly renowned in both Asia and Europe. That is to say, in the biography of Yuz Asaf, where striking similarities are found to exist with the teachings and character of the Messiah, the clergy have perhaps added these writings of their own accord.
