Re: What are the fundamental beliefs of Ahmadis?
Now lets get back to the topic…
As no one come up with anything good on Muslim and Non Muslim issue I guess I can now move onto topic of Death of Hadhrat Esa (A.S).
On one occasion the enemies of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW, challenged him that they will not believe in him unless he “ascend up into heaven” and “send down to us a Book.” (17:93) The Holy Prophet SAW replied: “Holy is my Lord! I am but a mortal sent as a messenger.” (17:93)
Translation from Non Ahmadi Source:
http://www.jannah.org/qurantrans/quran17.html
017.093 “Or thou have a house adorned with gold, or thou mount a ladder right into the skies. No, we shall not even believe in thy mounting until thou send down to us a book that we could read.” Say: “Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a man,- an apostle?”
Thus the Prophets, like all humans, lived and died on the earth. If Jesus is alive today, he must be more than a mortal.
IF ANY HUMAN BEING WAS ABLE TO GO TO HEAVEN WITH HIS PHYSICAL BODY THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OUR BELOVED HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW, THE GREATEST OF ALL PROPHETS. But the verses above indicate that since he is but a man, it is not possible.
The verse speaks for it self. I am not into making long posts as it is very difficult to read them…hence I will keep them short and brief as possible.
