Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 578 or reason, while he uttered not a single word in protest? Why wouldn’t he scream aloud: ‘I am one of you! Why are you put- ting me on the cross while I am innocent? The real culprit is getting away. I am your compatriot. This is my name and so and so are my parents, and so and so are my relatives, why are you putting me to death?’ It was a matter of life and death for him and of becoming the target of an accursed death. The actual culprit was getting away. An innocent person—one without any fault; someone with nothing to do with it—was being put on the cross and strangely, he does not even protest in the least! This mystery is beyond my comprehension. Apart from this, God has bestowed upon me revela- tion and knowledge of the unseen purely out of His grace, and—through the issuance of the special favour of commun- ion and converse—He has given me true knowledge in these matters. Besides, my conscience cannot accept it at all that such sustained concurrence and the unanimous testimony of tens of millions of people is totally wrong and what they all had understood was a conjecture and a misconception. Look, اہ ر ن � ي � پ � د � ن � ي ےک رمدم ہن وگ� ر ن � ي � پ ات ہن ابدش � [‘Until there is somewhat of something there, people do not just make up things’]. I cannot fathom why God had to show such weakness? Was He incapable of saving the Messiah in front of all the witnesses that He had to resort to such injustice? Why did He put an innocent man to death without justification? To advance a view discordant with the Quran and the Hadith, puts the burden of proof on the one who advances such a claim.
