269 Malfuzat – Volume IV who is taken as God and he is standing against the true Messiah. A battle ensues between them both and God will show a manifestation of His shining hand. More than 400 million people have become Christian. When these people came here in the very beginning, the Muslim clerics were utterly ignorant of their attacks and allegations. They neither had full knowledge of their allegations, nor were they aware of the deeper verities of the Holy Quran. As opposed to them, the Christians possessed the means to attain worldly prosperity and to attract the hearts of the people so they continued to gain footing. However, now, not a sin - gle person among them can see their impending decline; now their era is coming to an end. The fact of the matter is that the fabric of the Christians is even more fragile than the followers of the Arya Samaj and the Sanatan Dharam, because they have based their entire foundation on the life of the Messiah. As soon as this cracks, the entire building crumbles. In this age, no one can accept the idea that he ascended into heaven, especially when categorical arguments have proven that Jesus as is dead. Even greater still, now the state of affairs is that his dead body is almost in sight, as it were. For authentic accounts have established that his tomb is situated in Srinagar, Kashmir. In view of all these facts, how can any sensible person accept the aforementioned suggestion? As soon as the death of Jesus as is established, the crucifixion, atonement, curse, and all such concepts are proven to be false without question. Aside from these points, this religion is so weak that the very avenue it has chosen for itself is in itself hollow in all respects. Just take the concept of ‘curse. ’ It would have been better if the Christians had not adopted this concept. For when it is clear that curse relates to the heart and the implication is that the accursed person is an enemy of God, and God is an enemy of the accursed, and the individual becomes completely detached from God, and becomes averse to God, then what is left? It is written in one book that the Messiah wandered behind Satan. Now if Satan led him physically through the wilderness, then the Messiah could have shown a manifestation of his own power. The Christians have not been able to give any sensible response to this. They say that Satan was a Jew and then we are told that the Messiah was inspired by satanic revelation three times. So now the time has come for the fall of Christianity. Therefore, do not fall weak in your effort and resolve. Many a people call them - selves Muslims but they become engrossed in other matters. You, however, should fear God, and bring about a real change within yourself, and adopt righteousness and purity. To fall indolent on this path is to give Satan the opportunity to rob p. 532
