I`sa Compared with Yahya (John) (alayhima`s
sala`m) by Mirza
We will mention just a few examples to illustrate Mirza’s relentless
mission to belittle I`sa 
. To achieve this sad objective Mirza, as a matter of fact utilized diverse
tricks, such as his attempts to run down I`sa
by comparing him with other prophets. As an example, Mirza has written
the following :
"I`sa, peace be upon him, repented for his sins at the hands of John
the Baptist and became one of his select disciples. This decides the excellence
of John the Baptist over I`sa,
because it is not proven that John the Baptist ever repented at the hands
of anyone."
(Dafi’-bala, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 18, p. 220.)
"The righteousness of I`sa in his time does not prove to be above
that of the righteous ones. In fact the prophet John the Baptist is superior
to him, because he did not consume alcohol, nor is it ever heard about
him that any prostitutes massaged his head with perfume purchased from
her earnings, or touched his body with her hands and with her hair, or
that any unrelated women served him. This is the very reason why God named
John the Baptist as ‘circumspect’ (Quran 3:39). But he did not give the
Messiah this name because such (inglorious) episodes were obstacles to
giving him such a name." (Dafi’al-bala:Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 18, p. 220.)
In the above statement, the "promised Messiah" of the Qadianis has clearly
and openly expressed his belief, namely that the reasons why Allah did
not find I`sa
worthy of being called ‘Hasoor’ i.e. circumspect were :
-
The Messiah was addicted to alcohol.
-
The prostitute massaged his feet with perfume bought with the earnings
of adultery.
-
The prostitute touched the Messiah’s body with her hands and hair.
-
An unrelated young woman served him.
In the above words of Mirza, the Messiah was involved in these sins, and
therefore was not named Circumspect (a person who could control
his sexual desire). The evil designs of Mirza against I`sa become
obvious from the fact that none of the exalted prophets, e.g., Adam, Nuh,
Ibrahim, I`saac, Ismail, Suleman, Daud, Musa, I`sa, Muhammad (sallallahu
alayhim) have been called Circumspect. What sins (God forbid) were an obstacle
to their being named Circumspect? By pointing out I`sa, Mirza’s aim was
to demonstrate his own superiority over I`sa .
