28 9. DEATH OF JESUS OF NAZARETH Wafaat Masih Naasri Azalae Auhaam, part 2, page 764, 1891 O people! Why don’t you care for the truth? My heart gets so terribly agitated. Son of Mary has passed away, by God, That noble one has entered the Paradise. The Quran fully asserts to his death; It informs of his passing away. He has not remained outside of mortality; It has been proved by the thirty verses 14. No one comes back from the dead; Even the Quran does not pronounce it. (5) It has been promised by God-Without-Equal; Pray ponder over: “Those who depart, never return”. O dear ones! Pray consider it for a while: Have you ever seen anyone escaping death? This place is not meant for staying behind, All prophets and righteous ones have passed away. No one ever escapes from it, These are just simply absurd tales. Why do you persist on denying this? Is this faith or traits of disbelievers? (10) What is all this excitement against the obvious? Think about it if you have any sense. Why did you make the Son of Mary into God? Why did he stay outside of God’s Tradition 15 ? Why did you accord him such high position: “Knower of Unseen”, “Creator”, “Living” and “Mighty”? All passed away but he escaped from death; Until now mortality has touched him not; He is the God of many a birds; Bravo! On such knowledge of God! (15) O Muslim cleric! Is this God’s Unity? Pray tell the truth which genie do you follow? Was this the secret of God’s Unity On which you prided for so many years? Does man carry signs of Godhood? Mercy for such supposition! Mercy! We are surprised at this zeal of yours, At your insight and intellect and common sense. Why can’t you see the way to righteousness? What sort of veils have fallen on you eyes? (20)
