Death of Hazrat ‘Īsā as bin Mariam ra 191<br />

die it would not be inconsistent with his<br />

prophethood as all prophets before him have been<br />

subject <strong>to</strong> death—would be accounted as defective<br />

and meaningless. Surely God Almighty is far above<br />

saying that which is not true and is against the<br />

facts. 202<br />

Another verse that clearly and absolutely declares the death of<br />

Hazrat ‘Īsā as , without any doubt whatsoever is discussed by the<br />

Promised Messiah as in the following quotation:<br />

The Holy Qur’ān says:<br />

وَاذلَّ‏ ‏ِيْنَ‏ يَدْ‏ عُوْ‏ نَ‏ مِنْ‏ دُوْنِ‏ ٰ اهللّ‏ ِ لاَ‏ يخَ‏ ‏ْلُقُوْ‏ نَ‏<br />

اَمْوَاتٌ‏ غَيرْ‏ ُ اَحْيَآءٍ‏ ۚ وَّمَا يَشْ‏ عُرُ‏ وْ‏ نَ‏ اَايَّ‏ نَ‏ يُبْعَثُوْ‏ نَ‏<br />

شَ‏ ئًْا وَّهمُ‏ ْ يخُ‏ ‏ْلَقُوْ‏ نَؕ‏<br />

203<br />

(Sūrah An-Nahl, Part 14)<br />

This means that: ‘Those who are worshipped and<br />

called upon beside Allāh cannot create anything but<br />

are themselves created. They are dead, not living.<br />

They do not know when they will be resurrected.’<br />

Just see how clearly these verses affirm the death of<br />

all those human beings who were worshipped as<br />

gods by the Jews and Christians and some of the<br />

Arab tribes and <strong>to</strong> whom they supplicated. If you are<br />

still not convinced of the death of Jesus son of Mary,<br />
