| 5:118 | 8 Those, who call themselves Muslims and yet believe that Jesus(as) ascended to heaven in his physical body, utter an absurdity against the Holy Quran which affirms Jesus’ death in the verse […when Thou didst cause me to die…—Al -Ma’idah, 5:118 - Publishers], and precludes the possibility of a man ascending to heaven in the verse [Say, my Allah is Holy, I am not but a human being and a Messenger of God.—Bani Isra’il, 17:94 - Publishers]. How ignorant of them to hold a belief in contradiction to the Word of God! There can be no greater folly than to translate the word tawaffa as 'being lifted to heaven with one’s physical body'. Firstly, in no lexicon do we find the word tawaffa being translated as such. Moreover, since the verse speaks about the Day of Judgement, and this is what Jesus(as) will have to say for himself on that day, it follows that the Last Day will arrive but Jesus(as) will not have died, for he will have presented himself before God in his physical body before he could ever be made to suffer death. To misinterpret the Holy Quran thus is to surpass even the Jews in the art of interpolation! [Author]  |

| 2:201 | 14 I once saw in a kashf [a vision experienced while awake] that I created a new earth and a new heaven, and then I said "Now, let us create man." [When this kashf was made public], the ignorant mullahs raised a great tumult and accused me of claiming to be God. What the kashf actually meant was that God would bring about such a great change through me that heaven and earth would become new, and true people would be born. Similarly, God once said to me, i.e., "You are to Me like an offspring, and your relationship to Me is such that the world knows nothing of it." The mullahs became wild at this and asked if there could be any more doubt about my being a kafir, and they completely forgot the verse, [Remember Allah as you remember your forefathers.—Al-Baqarah, 2:201 - Publishers] [Author] |

| 1:6 | 20 These so called maulawis virtually insult our lord and master Muhammad(sa)—the best of Prophets and most exalted of Messengers— when they say that no one resembling Jesus(as), son of Mary, can ever appear in this umma, and that, because of this prohibition, God will have to break the seal of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat [Finality of Prophethood] and bring back the same Israelite Jesus into the world once more. Thus they stand guilty of, not one, but two sins. (1) First, they have to believe that while a servant of God named Jesus—or Yesu in Hebrew—attained closeness to God and became a Prophet by following the Mosaic law for thirty years, but in the case of the Holy Prophet(sa), no one can attain the same spiritual station even if he follows him for fifty years, instead of thirty. In other words, they say that no honour can be attained by following the Holy Prophet(sa). They do not realize that this belief implies that God is only deceiving people by teaching them the prayer [(Guide us on) the path of those on whom You have bestowed Your favours.—Al-Fatihah, 1:6 - Publishers] They also believe that, by virtue of his second coming, Jesus(as) is Khatam-ul-Anbiya’ [the last Prophet] as well as the last Judge and Arbiter. They do not understand the true meaning of this prophecy, which is that, since there will be people in this umma who will be like the Jews, God will send to them someone who would be the like of Jesus(as), and he will be an ummati [follower of the Holy Prophet(sa)] as well as a Prophet. Jesus(as), son of Mary, cannot claim both these titles, for an ummati is he who attains spiritual exaltation by submitting to the Prophet whom he follows, but Jesus(as) will already be in possession of this excellence. (2) Their other sin is that they believe Jesus(as) to be alive. This is in contrast to the categorical statement of the Holy Quran, which says:  |
| 5:118 | [But since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them—Al-Ma’idah, 5:118 - Publishers] They interpret this verse to mean, 'When You raised me to heaven in my physical body…' It is a strange interpretation that only applies to Jesus(as)! The Holy Quran clearly states that this question will be put to Jesus(as) on the Day of Judgement, therefore, according to their interpretation of the word it has to be believed that Jesus(as) will not have died prior to his appearance before God on the Day of Judgement. And if the verse is taken to mean, 'How could I have ever known about the condition of my people after You had caused me to die?', this interpretation would also be wrong in the context of their belief, for God would reply: "Why are you lying to Me that you do not know about the condition of your people, while you have been to the world a second time and have stayed there for forty years, and have waged wars against the Christians and have broken the cross?" Another thing that follows from their interpretation is that the Christians have not gone astray and are still on the right path because Jesus(as) is still alive in heaven! They should really die of shame! In conclusion, remember that the 'Seal of Prophethood' does not break if a follower of the Holy Prophet(sa) is honoured with revelation, inspiration and Prophethood, and is even given the title of 'Prophet' through obedience to him, for such a person is only a follower and is nothing in himself. All his excellence is, in fact, the excellence of the Prophet whom he follows. And he is not called a Prophet, but a Prophet and a follower. But the coming back of a Prophet, who is not a follower, will surely go against Khatm-e-Nubuwwat. [Author] |
| 17:94 | 24 Muslims, particularly the Ahl-i-Hadith, profess strong faith in Tauhid, but, unfortunately, their condition fits the proverb, 'Spitting the gnat and swallowing the camel'. Can we really call them believers in the Unity of God when they believe Jesus(as) to be one and without partner, just like God is, and when they believe that he went to heaven in his physical body and will return to earth some day, and that he is the one who created the birds! The unbelievers repeatedly swore that if the Holy Prophet(sa) could only ascend to heaven in his physical body, they would at once accept him, but the answer given to them was [Bani Isra’il, 17:94 - Publishers] i.e., tell them, my Lord never breaks His word, and I cannot go to heaven because He has promised [Therein shall you live, and therein shall you die.—Al-A‘raf, 7:26 - Publishers] and [And for you there is an abode on the earth.—Al-A‘raf, 7:25 - Publishers]. Are we to believe that God forgot this promise when He took Jesus to heaven, or are we to assume that Jesus was not a mortal at all? If Jesus did go to heaven in his physical body, it would inevitably follow, in the light of the Quranic statement, that he was not a human being. What is more, these so-called advocates of Islam have attributed even to the Dajjal qualities which necessarily make him God. What a pity that they should profess Tauhid and yet make such claims!
