why don’t you simply admit that you are not<br />

prepared to believe in the Holy Qur’an? 204<br />

It is clear from this verse presented by the Promised Messiah as<br />

in the above quotation that all those who are worshipped by<br />

his life in accordance with the verse:<br />

of the Holy Qur’ān, and a number of ahādīth<br />

compilations, that those who die are never sent back<br />

to dwell in this world, nor is anyone subjected to<br />

death twice, nor does the Holy Qur’ān lay down any<br />
