Details of interpreting verses from the Qur'an and obvious blunders

Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders

In his various books, MGAQ ibn Chiragh Bibi, had given three different locations for the Grave of Jesus. Which one is correct?

“ Jesus AS buried in Al-Khaleeli (Gulailee).

In 1891 Mirza wrote a huge volume, Izala Auham, which ran up to 948 pages. In the second volume of this book, he wrote a detailed, mind boggling explanation trying to prove that Jesus was not taken physically to heavens (as the Muslims believe), but that he was taken down from the cross, went to his native place, Al-Khalil, died and is buried there. He writes:

“This is true that Maseeh went to his native place, and died there, but this is not true that the same body which was buried, became alive again… verse 3 chapter I of Acts is a testimony about the natural death of Jesus that took place in Al-Khaleeli. After this death, Maseeh was visible to his students as KASHF (vision) for 40 days.” (Izala-e-Auham, Roohani Khazain vol.3 p.353-354)

Grave of Jesus in Quds

However, 3 years later, in 1894, Mirza changed his story. In his other book, Atmam-e-Hujjat (Roohani Khazain volume 8) he once again tried to prove that Eisa Ibne Maryam AS is dead. In an attempt to prove that, he gave the testimony of one of his rare Arab Disciple, Molvi Mohammed Al-Saeedi Trabilisi Al-Shaami. He wrote:

“This has to be admitted that Hazrat Eisa is also dead, and interestingly enough the grave of Hazrat Eisa is also in Syria and for further clarity, in the footnote, I include the testimony of My brother, My lover in Allah, Molvi Mohammad Al-Saeedi Trablisi. He is a resident of Tripoli, in the Country of Syria and in his area is the Grave of Hazrat Essa AS (Jesus). If you say that Grave is phoney, then you must provide the proof of this forgery, and prove that when this forgery took place. And in this event we will not be sure about the graves of any prophet and trust will be lost, and we will have to say that all those burial places are fake.” (Atmam E Hujat, Page: 18-19, Roohani Khazain vol.8 p.296-297, dated 1894)

Letter of Molvi Mohammed Al-Saeedi Trabilisi:

“O Hazrat Maulana & My Imam. Assalamo alaikum wa rehmatullah wa barakaatohu. I pray that may Allah give you cure (I received this letter of Shaami Saheb during my illness) Whatever you have asked about the Grave of Eisa alaihe assalam and other events, thus I am writing to you in detail, and that is this: Hazrat Eisa alaih assalam was born in Bait-ul-Lehm and between Bait-ul-Lehm and Quds there is a distance of thirty miles and the Grave of Hazrat Eisa alaihe assalam is in the Country of Quds, and is present till now, and there is a Church built on it, and that church is the largest church of all churches, and inside it is the Grave of Hazrat Eisa and in the same church is the Grave of Maryam, the truthful. And both graves are separate.” (Atmam-ul-Hujjat, Roohani Khazain vol.8 p.299)
That seems to settle the matter. As far as MGAQ ibn Charagh Bibi was concerned, Jesus was dead and his grave was in al-Quds.

Jesus’ Grave in Kashmir:

However 8 years later, Mirza changed the story once again. Now he started propagating his new theory: Jesus is buried in Kashmir.

“It is proved with certainty that Essa AS (Jesus) migrated to Kashmir. After this Allah liberated him with his blessing and he kept on living there for a long time until he died and was included among the dead. And his burial place is still in the city of Srinagar (Tomb of Yus Asif)” (Al-Huda, 12 June 1902, Page 109)

“I have been informed about the grave of Eisa (in Kashmir).” (Roohani Khazain vol 18 p.358, 361)

“The grave of Jesus is in Kashmir.” (Roohani Khazain vol 18 p. 320, Nuzool-e-Maseeh, printed in 1909, after the death of Mirza)”

So now we have three different statements of MGAQ ibn Charagh Bibi regarding the grave of Jesus.

My question to Ahmadis is which is the correct one? Al-Khalil or Quds or Kashmir?

You cannot have one body and three graves. :slight_smile:

Muslims have authentic ahadith that Hz. Isa Ibn Maryam (as)will be buried in Madinah next to Prophet Muhammad (saw)!
