179 Malfuzat – Volume IV Breaking the Cross I have an ocean at my disposal to uproot the Christian faith and now the time has come for this spell to be broken so that the idol of the cross may fall. The fact of the matter is that even if Allah the Exalted had not raised me, the present era has given rise to such factors as would have exposed the truth about Christianity anyway. For it is opposed to the jealousy and majesty of God Almighty to suggest that a child born from the womb of a mother should be God—a child who is not even minutely free from human needs and requirements. I have written a book in which I have proven with solid evidence that it is a false notion that the Messiah died on the cross. The truth is that he was taken down from the cross alive and after he was saved, he travelled to Kashmir, where he lived until the age of 120 years. Even today, his grave is present in Mohalla Khanyar and he is known by the name Yuz Asaf or the Prince Prophet. This fact is not without irrefutable and compelling evidence. In fact, the account of the crucifixion written in the Torah itself shows that the Messiah did not die on the cross. Firstly, the Messiah has likened himself to Jonah as. Now did Jonah as enter the belly of the whale dead or alive? Moreover, the wife of Pilate saw a terrible dream of which she informed Pilate as well after which he began to think of ways in which he could save Jesus as. This is why Pilate attempted to release the Messiah by various methods. Ultimately, he washed his hands and said that he was innocent of this man’s blood. Then, when the Jews could not be dis - suaded in any way, efforts were made to put Jesus as on the cross on a Friday in the late afternoon. A person would die on the cross over a period of many days, due to thirst, hunger, being out in the sun etc. but the Messiah was saved from this con - dition. For how could it be possible for the Messiah to not be taken down from the cross before sunset on the very same Friday, in light of the Judaic religious law, which stated that it was a grave sin for anyone to remain on the cross either on the day of Sabbath or the night before. Since the Messiah was put on the cross on Friday in the last hour, when certain events transpired, including a storm, he was swiftly taken down. Then, the two robbers who were put on the cross along with Jesus as had their bones broken, but the Messiah’s bones were not broken. To con - tinue, the Messiah’s body was handed over to a man who was his disciple. In real - ity, even Pilate and his wife were followers of Jesus as. As such, it is even narrated that Pilate was a Christian martyr and his wife is described as a saintly woman. p. 445
