183 The Promised Messiah as also referred to the prophecy contained in Sh. ‘Al i H amza’s book, Jaw a hirul Asr a r (840 A. D. ): “The Holy Prophet sa said that the Mahdi would appear in a village called Kad‘a and that he would have a printed book in his hand in which the names of his Companions would be written and that their number would be 313. ” The Promised Messiah as gave a list of his 313 Companions in the book to show that the prophecy was fulfilled in his person. Another distinctive feature of the supplement is that the Promised Messiah as demolished the image of Christ as presented by Padres of the day. He said that there is no mention in the Holy Quran of the Prophet like the one projected by the Christian in the person of Christ and, therefore, he would not hesitate to demolish his divinity, However, he said that the Holy Quran speaks of a prophet whose name was Jesus, son of Mary. This Prophet was a true Prophet of God, a noble and righteous man, who never made a claim to be the son of God. The Promised Messiah as said: “I never had written or said any word of disrespect about Jesus, son of Mary. I have no hesitancy in running down a man called Christ, who, as the Christians say, made a claim to be a son of God and who as the Padres claim, had declared that all the prophets coming after him would be false prophets and who called Prophet Moses a robber. It is, therefore, I say that Jesus is a man, who is not even worth of being called a gentleman as presented by Padres. However, I have a great respect for Jesus, son of Mary, who was a human being and a Prophet and who, according to the Holy Quran, testified to the coming of the Holy Prophet sa. ” [Note: The title page of the book combines four journals, namely Anj a m-e- A tham , Khud a -’ i Fai s lah (Divine Judgment), Da‘wat-e-Qaum (Invitation to the Nation), Makt u be ‘Arab i Ban a m ‘Ulam a ’ (Letter in Arabic Addressed to Scholars).
