Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 250
It is ironic that the Pharisees who rejected the Mosaic Messiah never had enough courage to acquaint their followers with the true significance of Daniel's vision nor did the masses have the intelligence to realise that Daniel's prophesy on the basis of which the son of Mary was rejected, was a vision 37 which had no relevence to the insistence of the. Pharisees. Had they possessed any better sense, they may yet have discovered that this vision of Daniel had already been interpreted by. Daniel himself 38 and as such had no bearing upon the advent of the. Promised Messiah. . The Muslim Ulemma of this day and age have also fallen foul of the same error committed by their counterparts of the Hebrew race and hence demonstrated their Jewish tendency which our beloved master,. Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, predicted they would. . They too anticipate an actual physical appearance of a one eyed monster which according to popular folklore would be so huge that when he rides his donkey, his head would be hidden in the clouds. And unless this monster appears before the advent of the Promised Messiah and is annihilated by him, they contend, they will not accept any. Messiah. . It is however regretted that the Muslim masses, inspite of being better educated than the Jewish people of the first century CE, allow themselves to be led by these pseudo scholars who according to one of our beloved master's Traditions were expected to lead them astray. . Traditions report that our beloved master, peace be upon him, declared: 'Allah will not bolt out knowledge by withdrawing it from people but will put it out of their reach through the death of divines with a result that when there are no divines, people will adopt ignorant ones as their leaders and will ask them for guidance and they will render their opinions without knowledge. They will be astray themselves and they will lead others astray. 37. Daniel 7. 2 39 38. Daniel 7. 17/27 39. Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari 251
