382 MALFUZAT ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME IO The Death of Jesus as a Remedy One should not look upon the Divine Movement lightly or with disdain. He has a monumental plan. Islam's well-being lies exclusively within it. Once I went to Delhi. I submitted to them that they had used the recipe for thirteen hundred years which accepts that the Holy Prophetsas is buried in a grave and Jesusas is seated in Heaven. Did this formula benefit you or hurt you? You can think about the answer to this question for yourself. Nearly 100,000 people have renounced Islam from every tribe and group: Sayyeds, Mughals, Pathans, Qureshis, etc. This is the consequence of saying over and over again that Jesusas is still alive. Now, I tell you another remedy; try it and see. It is that you accept the death of Jesusas (as is proven from the Holy Quran and was corroborated to by the Holy Prophet, peace and bless- ings of Allah be upon him, through his personal experience). A person from the audience, who was a tall man, spoke up and said, 'You are right! You should continue your work. I have understood your approach. Verily, Islam's well-being lies exclu- sively within it. [The Promised Messiahas continued:] In the Holy Quran, Allah the Exalted has used the word تَوَفِّى [tawaffi] with reference to Jesusas and the Holy Prophetsas has corroborated to it by providing an [eyewitness] account of his experience during the Mi'raj [Spiritual Ascension] in which he saw him with the dead. What similarity do the living have with the deceased? Had Jesusas been alive, there should have been some chamber set aside for him; not that he should be living with the dead.
