The Promised Messiah and Mahdi — Page 170
THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI and a chosen one and had communion with God but was not God. " (Announcement of 22 March 1877) 4) "I have been commissioned by God Almighty to profess that Hadhrat Isa, peace be on him, was a true and pure and righteous. Prophet of God and to believe in his prophethood. " (Ayyamus Sulh. first title page) 5) "I state on oath that I bear that true love towards the. Messiah which you do not possess and that you have not available to you the light with which I recognize him. There is no doubt that he was a dear and chosen Prophet of God. " (Dawate Haq, attached to. Haqeeqatul Wahi). Christian missionaries and priests of his time had been in the habit of vile abuse and making false charges against the blessed person of the Holy Prophet, peace be on him. That language a Muslim cannot repeat. . The Promised Messiah as a retaliation and to silence the. Christian missionaries adopted this defence and criticized the Jesus as presented in the Gospels. Jesus of the Gospels is a mythological figure, as the Gospels are not reliable, compared to the true Jesus as presented in the Holy Quran. The picture of Jesus as presented in the. Gospels is not unstained and moral. Thus he criticized the fictitious. . Jesus of Christians as we see in the Gospels. . The Promised Messiah says: "In our writings we have had this fictitious Jesus of the. Christians in mind. The humble servant of God, Isa, son of Mary, who was a Prophet and is mentioned in the Holy Quran, is not the object of our harsh condemnations. We have had to adopt this method after having endured for forty years the abuse of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, by the Christian missionaries. " (Nurul Quran, No. 2). Thus he has only, by way of refutation, condemned Jesus on the basis of the Gospels. In doing this, his only purpose was that. Christian missionaries should refrain from abusing and defaming and uttering false charges against the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him. 170
