Furthermore, this also proves the actual and pure teaching of the Holy Quran to be true, because the clear declaration of the Messiah, on whom be peace, فَلَمَّا 1 ْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي is present in the Holy Quran, and no one can deny this. The Reason for Emphasising the Death of Jesus as It is for this very reason that I stress the belief relating to the death of Jesus as , for it is with this very death that the death of Christianity is intertwined. It is for this purpose that I have begun to write the book Masih Hindustan Mein ( Jesus in India).
