Christian missionaries are in the forefront of those who refer to the Holy Prophets with contempt and defame and abuse him. I have a stock of books by Christian missionaries which are full of abuse of the Holy Prophetsa. . And whoso desires can come and inspect them. I declare that I shall henceforth deal respectfully with any Christian missionary who, discarding the method of abuse, adopts a respectful style of exposition. By having recourse to abuse, they themselves make their fictitious JeIsus a subject of criticism. We have become weary of their abuse. If someone abuses another's father, would the wronged one not be justified in abusing the offender's father? What I have said is not abuse but a fact. 183 إِنَّمَا الْاَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ : [Nur-ul-Qur'ān, No. II, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 9, pp. 374-375]. Objections against Jesus. The wretched Jews of the time of Jesus (peace be upon him) planned his ruin and conspired to impose upon his righteous soul the curse of death upon the cross, as the. Torah has declared that he who dies upon the rood would be accursed, which means that his heart would become vile and estranged from God and he would be rejected by. God like Satan. That is why Satan is called the accursed one. This was an evil scheme which had been thought out 183 'Actions are judged by their intentions. ' [Publisher]
