111 There is no land in the entire world, near or far, that matches the height of the mountains and valleys of Kashmir in the eyes of the All-Knowing and All-Seeing. You cannot disprove nor dis- credit this statement. As for the word Qar a r [meadows] in the verse, it indicates stability in that land with security and well-being, without the hindrance of disbelievers and evildoers. There is no doubt that Jesus, peace be upon him, did not have a settlement in the land of the Levant, and he was expelled from one land to another by the wretched and mean Jews. He did not see a settlement except in the Kashmir plan, and this is what our Lord, the All-Knowing, referred to in this verse. As for al-M a ’ul-Ma‘ i n , it is a reference to clear and gushing springs found in this region, and that is why people likened that land to paradise. There is no word about the Messiah’s ascension to heaven in the Gospels of Matthew or John, and there is a mention of his journey to Galilee after the Crucifixion. This is the truth in which we believe. The disciples hid this travel for fear of being pursued by the Jews, and they expressed that he was raised to heaven as an So see how God explained the truth of al- I w a ’ and treated you thereof. He narrated through the words of Noah’s son, ِ ًء َآ ٰم ْ ل ا َ � ِن ِ ْم ْ ِْي� ُِن� ٰم ِْصِ ََع � � ٍ ْل َ ََب� َج� َى ل ِِإ ْ ِْي� َو َآ ُس [I shall soon betake myself to a mountain which will shelter me from the water ( S u rah H u d, 11:44)]. The son was meant to seek refuge in a high mountain after seeing the affliction. So, explain to us what affliction descended upon the son of Mary as and his mother more severe than the affliction of the Crucifixion? Then, what place did Allah give them refuge in other than the hills of Kashmir after that difficult day? Do you disbelieve in what Allah has revealed, even though the Day of Judgment is near? (Author)
