It was not even possible for the Gospel to have this teaching, for this teaching is based on refined and wise principles, whereas the Gospel is a compilation of crude ideas that every just critic is now becoming averse to. Yes, your revered Yas u ‘ did, however, come up with a good excuse to cover up his shortcomings by saying, between the lines, that his teaching was not that great, and that it would be derided in the future, so they had better wait for the coming of the one whose teaching would meet all standards of wisdom. Bravo to you, O Christian priests! What a way to act upon this enduring advice! You continue to hang on to the same teaching which even your own revered Yas u ‘ admits to be objectionable, and gives the glad tiding of the coming of a Holy Prophet in the future. Tell me—does the admission of your Jesus not prove that his teaching is deficient or does it leave some doubt? Whereas Yas u ‘ [Jesus] himself admits that his teaching is incomplete and imperfect, now you ought to heed the excel- lences of Islamic teachings outlined by me, keeping the proph- ecy of your master in mind—the prophecy of Yas u ‘ is tantamount to falsehood unless such a Prophet is raised in the world whose teaching is superior and more comprehensive than the teaching of the Gospel. Do not prove your Yas u ‘ to be a liar. That Holy Prophet has indeed come but you have failed to recognize him. Ponder over my writings so that you may under- stand that the perfect teaching which the Messiah was waiting for is the Qur’an. Moreover, even if this prophecy did not exist, the flawed nature of the Gospel and the perfection of the Qur’an did itself serve as a Divine verdict. Therefore, fear the fire of Hell
