No matter how you look at it, the belief that the Messiah as is alive in heaven is an affront to God Almighty and the Holy Prophet sa. Christians have taken advantage of these circumstances, and hundreds of thousands of Muslims have faltered due to this creed and entered the fold of Christianity as a result. There is still time for the Muslims to ponder and repent from this nonsensical and un-Islamic tenet and convince others from among them to do the same. Otherwise to insult the Holy Prophet sa is no minor offence. They should know that one day they will entrust their lives to the custody of God Almighty rather than their clerics. Therefore, while there is still time, the Muslims should unite as one and drive this foul creed which insults the Prophet sa from their hearts and thereby loosen from themselves the grip of Christianity. Let the Messiah as die for in his death is the death of Christianity and the life of Islam. Is there a fervent soul out there who would bring death to the Messiah as and revitalise Islam? Surely, those who would do this from a religious zeal rather than from a rationalist approach would earn the mercy of God Almighty, and He would enable them to tread on His chosen paths.
