T H e J O u r NA l—F AT e H M A S IH T H e J O u r NA l—F AT e H M A S IH 125 Gospel contains a more detailed description of the spiritual rewards of Paradise or the Qur’an? And if there are more details in the Gospel, then such a person can take a thousand rupees in cash from me, and deposit it anywhere he wants. I do not expect anyone will come to face me. By God! How cruel and deceitful this nation is who has become oblivious to the Hereafter for the sake of the life of this world! Just let them drink from the cup of death and then they shall see where Yas u [ Jesus Christ] and his atonement stand. Alas! These people have made a mere mortal—the son of a hum- ble woman—into God, and condoned all things unworthy as being applicable to the Holy Lord. There came into the world only one who brought the true and perfect Oneness [of God], but they showed hostility to him. And it is also totally false to say that the Gospel does not allude to physical reward at all. See how elaborately the Gospel of Matthew records the statement of Yas u regarding physical reward and it is verse 29: ‘And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life. ’ [Matthew] Chapter 19, verse 29. This is such a clear commandment, and it even gives the tid- ing that if a Christian woman leaves her husband for the sake of Yas u [ Jesus Christ], she shall be given a hundred husbands on the Day of Resurrection. Had it been contrary to Divine majesty to promise physical rewards, then such rewards would not have been promised at all in Exodus 3:8, Deuteronomy 6:3, 7:13 and 8:17, Judges 9:12, Deuteronomy 32:14, Deuteronomy 16:20, Leviticus 26:3, Leviticus Chapter 25, Job 20:15.
