The Conclusive Argument — Page 67
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 67 also you should prove when this forgery was made. In that case, there will be no satisfactory proof regarding the tombs of other Prophets, too; all credibility will be lost and it would have to be said that perhaps all these tombs may be fraudulent. At any rate, the meaning of the verse اَّمَلَف ْيِنَتْيَّفَوَت has been estab- lished as ‘causing death’. 1 Some ignorant, so-called maulaw i s say that it is true that the verse اَّمَلَف ْيِنَتْيَّفَوَت means ‘causing death’ and nothing else, but that death would occur after his descent, which has not yet happened. But sadly, these ignorant people do not realize that in such a case the whole meaning of the verse is perverted. For, the verse says that Jesus will submit to God Almighty that his people were corrupted after his death. In other words, as long as he was alive, they were on the right path and went astray only after his death, not in his lifetime. Therefore, if it is claimed that Jesus, peace be on him, has not yet died, then it must also be admitted that his people have still not become corrupt, because it is clear from the text of the verse that his people will not become corrupt until Jesus’ death. The word ‘death’, or the reality of death, is evident for all to see; that is, a person is said to have died when the Angel of Death seizes his soul by separating it from the body. Now the fair-minded people should say honestly if there is any greater proof of Prophet Jesus’ death than this? Is it possible to have a more logical verdict than the one delivered by this verse? Then, on the face of it, is it not the way of sinfulness 1. Later, the Promised Messiah as made a definite and well-documented claim that the tomb of Jesus lies in Srinagar, Kashmir. See his book, Jesus in India. [Publisher]
