UNDATED 523 The Tomb of Jesus, Peace be on Him, in Kashmir Ab u Sa‘id Arab, who has returned recently from a trip to Kashmir, submitted before the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, that in Kashmir the general public, just as before, still call the grave of Prophet Jesus as as the grave of Nab i Sahib [the Revered Prophet] or the tomb of ‘ I s a as [ Jesus], but the ulema there who have become acquainted with the particulars of the Ahmadiyya Movement, have stopped referring to it as such out to their animosity, to prevent the sect from gaining support. The Promised Messiah as said: What would come about from such conduct of these people now that ancient scriptures have been discovered in Kashmir and other places? In addition, an ancient Arabic book—eleven hundred years old—authored by a Shiite scholar describes Yuz As af as the princely Prophet and mentions that his tomb is in Kashmir and his era is recorded to be the same as that of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him. Christians have also come to acknowledge at least this much that he was a disciple of Prophet Jesus as and even that there is a church built in his name in Sicily—but the question now is, who was that disciple who was referred to as a prince and a Prophet? Christians cannot give any reply to this.
