Where Did Jesus Die? — Page 192
? 192 tomb is situated in Medina. Further enquiry confirmed his view, for he was told that the prophet, who was also known by the name of Yus Asaph was a stranger and came to Kashmir some 1900 years ago. These and other factors led him to believe that the buried prophet in Srinagar could be none but Jesus of Nazareth who went to India in search of the tribes of Israel living in these north- ern regions of India. Here I relate a few points which support this view: 1. There is oral and written evidence of distinguished people in Srinagar that the occupant of the tomb under discussion was a prophet Yus Asaph who came to Kashmir some 1900 years ago and was also called ‘Prince’. A long list of witnesses to this effect is found in the last chapter of Al-Huda , an Arabic work by the Promised Messiah, published in 1902 at Qadian. 2. The annals of the country also testify that the tomb is known as that of Prophet Yus Asaph. The author of the Tarikh-i- Azami of Kashmir, (historical work written some 200 years ago), referring to this tomb, says, on page 82: The tomb next to that of Sayyid Nasr-ud-Din is generally known as that of a prophet who was sent to the inhabit- ants of Kashmir and the place is known as the shrine of a prophet. He was a prince who came to Kashmir from a foreign land. He was perfect in piety, righteousness, and devotion; he was made a prophet by God and was engaged in preaching to the Kashmiris. His name was Yus Asaph.
