The Promised Messiah and Mahdi — Page 253
THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI no doubt, the words of the same One and peerless God Who had revealed the Holy Quran. I have not mentioned the Torah and the. Gospels in this connection because they have suffered so terribly at the hands of the interpolators that they could hardly be called the. Word of God now. (Tadhkiratush Shahadatain, p. 1-2) 2. Now that the Muslims have been taught to seek refuge with. Allah from walking in the footsteps of those Jews who incurred the wrath of Allah attempting to kill Jesus on the cross, it is a clear pointer to the predestined appearance of 'Jesus' among the Muslims also. If is was not to be so what was there a need of teaching such a prayer to the Muslims?. These verses having established that there shall come a time. when some of the Muslim Divines shall behave like the Jewish theologians, it would be most unreasonable and illogical to say that. Jesus son of Mary shall be called down from heaven to reform and regenerate the Muslims. That would constitute a clear and direct infringement of the Seal of Prophethood. The Holy Quran calls the. Holy Prophet, the Seal of the Prophets in definite terms and it also. describes the Muslims as the best of all people. It would, therefore, be an ignominy of the worst kind that in their degenerated state the. Muslims should become like the accursed Jews, and that a Jesus should come as their Reformer not from among themselves but from outside. If it be true that there shall come a time when some of the. Muslim divines shall begin to walk in the footsteps of the Jews, then it must also be necessarily true that a REFORMER who shall come to reform them will not come from outside but will be a Muslim who will be named Jesus. (Tadhkiratush Shahadatain, p. 10) 3. The prevalent notion that the very same Jesus son of Mary shall appear in the latter days is contrary to the teachings of the Holy. Quran. Whoever studies the Holy Quran, with the fear of God in his heart and truly ponders over it with sagacity and fair-mindedness, shall see the truth like the light of the day and will admit that God has raised the Muslim nation truly parallel to the followers of Prophet 253
