| 3:145 | 11 It is utterly slanderous to suggest that the return of Hadrat ‘Isa to this world is a unanimous belief. The consensus of the Companions, Allah be pleased with them, was only about the verse [Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him, Surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3:145]. After them, many sects emerged within the Ummah. For example, the Mu‘tazilah are still convinced of the death of Hadrat ‘Isa, and some eminent sufis are also convinced of his death. Even if some from within the Ummah believed, prior to the advent of the Promised Messiah, that Hadrat ‘Isa would return to this world, there is no blame upon them. It is only an error of interpretation like that made by the Israelite Prophets in interpreting some prophecies. (Author) |

And Hadrat Abu Bakr(ra)’s reasoning would also make no sense, for how could the Companions(ra) derive solace from ‘Isa as being alive in Heaven with his physical body while the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed away?

Such ignorant Muslims have greatly helped the cause of Christianity. They claim that there is no mention of the death of ‘Isa anywhere in the Holy Quran, when in truth it does mention it explicitly on several occasions. The verse [‘But since You did cause me to die’, (Surah al-Ma’idah, 5:118)] for example, is categorical about his demise. They claim that the verse [‘They slew him not, nor crucified him’, (Surah an-Nisa’, 4:158)] signifies that Hadrat ‘Isa is still alive. Their reasoning for this is truly lamentable! Does a person who is not crucified never die? I have said again and again that the Holy Quran negates ‘Isa’s death by crucifixion and proclaims his ascension, not because God wants to prove that ‘Isa is still alive, but to dispel the notion of his accursed death and to confirm that he was spiritually exalted like all believers. It was primarily meant to refute the Jews who did not believe in his (spiritual) ascension. (Author)  |

The Prophet is, indeed, the source of all those blessings and he is the door to all the revelations and dreams people experience, for the world is transformed by his advent and a light descends for all from heaven and everyone partakes of in accordance with his capacity. This light becomes the source of all dreams and revelations. The ignorant think that this is due to their own skill, when in fact that spring of revelations and dreams is opened up for the world only due to the blessing of that prophet.

How far can one respond to such evil suggestions which are mingled with the mischief of the lower self? Therefore, the way of Allah is that finally He takes the matter in His own hand and manifests such a glorious Sign as clearly demonstrates the exoneration of that Prophet.

| 5:25 | In reference to their disobedience, the Holy Quran recounts their response to Hadrat Musa on the occasion of a battle [Surah al-Ma’idah, 5:25] meaning: ‘Go you and your Lord and fight the enemy; here we shall sit.’ Such was the measure of their disobedience. In contrast, the hearts of the Companions of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, were so inspired by the love of God, and they were so affected by the spiritual attention of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that they sacrificed themselves in the cause of God like sheep and goats. Can anyone show us the followers of any previous Prophet, who demonstrated such sincerity and devotion? We have mentioned the state of the companions of Musa. Now listen to the state of the disciples of Hadrat Masih [ Jesus]. One of them, Judas Iscariot, had him arrested in return for thirty pieces of silver. Peter, the disciple to whom had been committed the keys of Heaven, cursed ‘Isa to his face and the remaining disciples, upon seeing the adversity, ran away. Not one of them displayed resolve or remained steadfast. Cowardice overwhelmed them. In contrast, the Companions of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, displayed such steadfastness and were so reconciled to death under the shadow of the swords that any mention of their devotion brings tears to one’s eyes.  |
| 26:4 | So what was it that breathed into them such spirit of devotion? And what was the hand that brought about such a change in them? It was that in the time of their pre-Islamic ignorance they were worms of this world; there was no sin and no type of injustice that they did not commit, but then becoming the followers of this Prophet, they were so drawn to God that it was as if God dwelt within them. I tell you truly that it was the spiritual attention of the Holy Prophet that pulled them out of a low life into a holy one. Those who entered Islam in hosts did not do so because of the sword. Rather it was the consequence of the sincere supplications and humble and passionate prayers which the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, offered in Makkah for thirteen years, so that even the soil of Makkah confessed that it was under the blessed feet of him whose heart proclaimed the Oneness of Allah so passionately that heaven was filled with his cries. God is in need of no one. He does not care whether anyone is rightly guided or goes astray. Therefore, the light of guidance which was so extraordinarily manifested in Arabia, and then spread to the rest of the world, was the consequence of the heartfelt anguish of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Followers of every religion digressed and strayed away from Tauhid [Oneness of God] but the spring of Tauhid continued to flow in Islam. All these blessings were the result of the supplications of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as God Almighty has said [Surah ash-Shu‘ara’, 26:4] meaning: ‘Will you grieve yourself to death because they do not believe?’ Thus, the reason why the followers of previous Prophets did not achieve such a high grade in righteousness and piety was that those Prophets did not have the same degree of attention and anguish for their followers. It is a pity that the ignorant Muslims of this age did not appreciate their Noble Prophet as he deserved, and stumbled in every issue. They interpret the Seal of Prophethood in a manner that is derogatory to the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, rather than praiseworthy, as if the pure soul of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had no power to bestow grace or to help perfect the souls spiritually, and he had been appointed merely to teach them the bare minimum of law. On the contrary, God Almighty teaches this ummah the prayer [‘Guide us in the right path—The path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your blessings’, (Surah al-Fatihah, 1:6–7)]. Therefore, if this ummah is not the heir of the previous Prophets and have no share in this bounty, why were they taught this prayer? It is a pity that no one—on account of their bigotry and ignorance— duly reflects upon this verse. They are greatly eager that Hadrat ‘Isa should descend from heaven, while the Holy Quran testifies that he is dead and buried in Srinagar, Kashmir, as God Almighty says [Surah al-Mu’minun, 23:51] meaning: ‘We delivered ‘Isa and his mother from the hands of the Jews and conveyed them to a high mountain which was a place of comfort and elegance and had springs of clear water in it.’ This was Kashmir. And this is why Maryam’s tomb is not to be found in Palestine, and they claim that she too disappeared like Hadrat ‘Isa. How unjust it is of the ignorant Muslims to believe that the ummah of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is devoid of the converse and discourse of God while at the same time they repeat the sayings [of the Holy Prophet] that prove that among the ummah of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, there will be those who will resemble the Prophets of Israel, and there will also be one who will be a Prophet in one aspect and an ummati [follower of the Holy Prophet] in another! He would be the one who will be called the Promised Messiah. (Author)  |

| 35:29 | 6 If someone were to ask, why does Satan disobey God Almighty when he is certain about His existence and Oneness? The answer to it is that his disobedience is not like the disobedience of man; he has been created for the trial of man with this very habit. This is a mystery the details of which have not been disclosed to man. It is the character of man that, mostly and overwhelmingly, he is guided aright by acquiring perfect knowledge about God Almighty, as Allah the Exalted says in the Holy Quran [‘Only those of His servants who possess knowledge fear Allah,’ (Surah Fatir, 35:29)]. However, those who have a satanic nature are outside this rule. (Author) |

| 3:145 | 10 Given that Hadrat ‘Isa(as) gave the staff to Charagh Din to kill me, it is not known why this fury and anger was roused in his heart. If he became displeased because I publicized his [ Jesus’] death throughout the world, then it is his error. I did not publicize it. Rather, it was publicized by Him whose creation Hadrat ‘Isa is, like we are. If there is any doubt about it, look at this verse [Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him, (Surah Al-e-‘Imran, 3:145)] and also the verse [But since You did cause me to die, You have been the Watcher over them, (Surah al-Ma’idah, 5:118)]. The surprising part of it is that the one to whom he gives his staff, he himself perishes. Some staff that is! I have heard that this second Charagh Din i.e. ‘Abdul- Hakim Khan too has, like the first Charagh Din, made some prophecy about my death, but it is not known whether there is any mention of the staff in it or not.

After a time I saw, in a vision, that two water carriers came and entered into my house, one by the outer entrance and the other by the inner entrance carrying on thٰeir shoulders water-skins full of divine light and they said .[This is on account of the blessings you invoked upon Muhammad].

| 29:70 | 29 It points to the fact that when a person follows the true faith, he receives a special reward from God Almighty on account of performing righteous deeds. Such indeed is the way of Allah that one who has true faith is not restricted to the highest point to which he walks by his own effort and advances by his own striving. Rather, when his effort reaches its maximum limit and the work of human capabilities ends, then the bounty of God operates in him; and guidance from Allah helps him further advance in knowledge, good deeds and understanding to a level which he could not have attained on his own. God says so elsewhere too: [Surah al-‘Ankabut, 29:70]. Meaning that, those who strive in Our path and do whatever they and their capabilities can do, then the grace of the One True God holds their hand and does what they could not have done by themselves.

On account of his greatness and majesty, even Balaam Beor was cast into Hell when he dared to confront him and God likened him to a dog. Yet, it was the same Musa who was embarrassed before the spiritual knowledge of a nomad and could not decipher those secrets of the unknown as God Almighty says [‘Then they found one of Our servants upon whom We had bestowed Our mercy, and whom We had taught knowledge from Ourself ’, (Surah al-Kahf, 18:66)].

| 39:54 | 4 Divine practice in the Holy Quran is that at places there are details and at places, it employs synopsis. And it is necessary for the reader to interpret synoptic verses in such a way that they do not become opposed to the detailed verses. For instance, God Almighty has clearly declared that shirk [association of partners with God] shall not be forgiven. But the Quranic verse [Surely Allah forgives all sins, (Surah az-Zumar, 39:54)] appears to contradict the verse that says shirk shall not be forgiven. Therefore, it would be heresy to interpret this verse in a sense which is contrary to categorical and decisive verses. (Author) |

It is not said here that ‘all’ shall be fulfilled. Thus, God has clearly stated here that it is not necessary for ‘all’ the prophecies of warning to be fulfilled; rather, some can be averted. If this was not the purport of the Divine Word, God Almighty would have said instead [‘but if he is truthful then “all” that which he threatens you with will surely befall you’].

This is, indeed, why God Almighty mentioned this Jama‘at by singling it out from the rest as He says [Surah al-Jumu‘ah, 62:4]; meaning that, there is also another sect as part of the ummah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(sa), that are still to come in the Latter Days. And authentic hadith records that at the time of revelation of this verse, the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, patted [Hadrat] Salman the Persian’s back and said [‘Even if the faith had left (the earth) for the Pleiades, a man of Persia would bring it back’]. It was a prophecy about me. As recorded in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, as a testimony to the authenticity of this prophecy, God vouchsafed the same hadith to me in the form of revelation. According to the revelation, there was no specified person beforٰe me to whom this hadith applied. The revelation of God singled me out.[So Allah be praised for all this]. (Author)  |

The argument for it is that the death is mentioned prior to the ascension, and this ascension after death is the prerogative of every believer. This is substantiated by the Holy Quran, Hadith, and traditions. Jews, on their part, disputed the ascension of ‘Isa. They said that certainly ‘Isa would not be raised like believers, nor would he be granted life; and that was so because they declared him to be a disbeliever and did not consider him to be from among the believers. This is why God Almighty refuted them in this verse and in other verses, as He said: [‘On the contrary, Allah exalted him to Himself.’ (Surah an-Nisa’, 4:159)]; and they [the Jews who calumniate Jesus] are among the liars.

At this, I will say, “O my Lord! They are my Companions.” I will be told that I do not know what they did after I left them. To this I will respond in the same words as did a righteous servant of God (i.e. ‘Isa): [“And I was a witness over them as long as long as I remained among them, but since You did cause me to die, You have been the Watcher over them.” Surah al-Ma’idah, 5:118] |
| 23:51 | 19 God Almighty said in the Holy Quran [‘And We rescued them and helped them reach an elevated land, a restful place with springs of running water’ (Surah al-Mu’minun, 23:51)].

Hence, all praise is due to Allah, the Refuge of the oppressed. He alone is the Source of all wisdom and foresight. No one can cause harm to a person whom He wants to protect. Surely, He is the Best of all Protectors. (Author) |

| 17:94 | 24 Here, I mean to refer to the verse [Say, Holy is my Lord! I am not but a man sent as a Messenger (Surah Bani Isra’il, 17:94)]. Doubtless, this verse categorically rejects the idea of any human being ascending to heaven with his physical body. Only the most ignorant would deny this. In fact, the words refer to another verse of the Holy Quran, which is [Therein shall you live and therein shall you die (Surah Al-A‘raf, 7:26)], for physical ascension of any individual to heaven would result in the breaking up of this natural law and God Almighty does not violate His law. Hence, reflect upon it, O wise ones! (Author) |

| 2:201 | 3 Allah the Almighty is Holy, without a son. This revelation is metaphorical as is the case with the following commandment of God: Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:201] That is, remember God in the way that you remember your fathers. The Holy Quran is full of such metaphors. Those who understand and possess erudition see nothing amiss in this. Thus, these words are not incongruous and similar examples can be found in multiple divine Scriptures and the sayings of those Holy people who are often referred to as Sufis. Thus, O people of understanding! Do not be hasty in coming to a decision about me. (Author) |
