I`sa’s teachings belittled by Mirza
It is crystal clear from the above mentioned verse, that I`sa 
possessed a wealthy amount of knowledge, achieved through the channel of
Divine Revelation. It also heavily testifies that all insulting and despicable
remarks, Mirza has referred to the Prophet I`sa u
are totally out of order.
One would feel disturbed, disgraced and annoyed reading it, but to the
aim of disclosing and presenting the image of I`sa
as portrayed by Mirza, we will request the reader to excuse us in publishing
this disrespectful material, as it is rendered unavoidable.
Mirza says,
"It is extremely shameful that the sermon of the Mount which is considered
to be the essence of the Evangile has been plagiarized from Talmud, the
sacred book of the Jews and then give the impression that it was his own
teachings. But Christians are feeling sorry ever since this plagiary has
been discovered. He had perhaps committed this unbecoming act only to gain
popularity and influence by showing an example of any excellent teaching.
But this immoral act committed by him had blackened the faces of the Christians.
Moreover, it is regrettable that even this teaching is not an excellent
one. Reason and conscience both are slapping this teaching in the face.
He had a Jewish teacher who gave him lesson in the Torah . It appears that
either nature did not give him any considerable share from intelligence
or it is the naughtiness of the teacher that he kept him an open slate
and a simpleton. In any case he was very weak in his academic and practical
qualities. It is because of this that once he followed the devil."
(Zamimah Anjame Atham, Qadian, 1922, P.6)
Following are the views of Mirza about the teachings of Jesus:
"Jesus, (The Messiah) came to a particular nation and alas the world
did not get any spiritual benefit from him. He left an example of such
a Prophethood whose harm proved to be greater than its good. Sufferings
and conflict increased due to his coming."
(Itmam al-Hujjat, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol.
8, p. 308)
"It is extremely shameful that the Sermon of the Mount that forms the core
of the New Testament was plagiarized by (Jesus, the Messiah) from the Jewish
book the Talmud, and then he pretended as if it were his own teachings.
But since the time this plagiarism has been discovered the Christians have
been suffering a great shame. Jesus committed this act (of forgery) to
perhaps gain influence by presenting some good teachings...The unfortunate
thing is that these teachings are an affront to the rules of wisdom and
upright conscience."
(Zamimah Anjam-i Atham, Ruhani Khaza’in,
Vol. 11, p. 290)
It is surprising that Jesus, peace be upon him, did not himself act
upon the teachings of good character.
(Chashma-i Masihi, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol.
20, p. 346)
The teachings of Jesus ruined the whole of Europe due to permitting
unrestrained liberty and unconditional (licentiousness). So much so that
this (looseness) resulted in all (being involved) in adultery and fornication
like pigs and dogs. And (this) immorality has spread to such an extent
that it is even written on the wrappers of foreign (European) sweets and
candies: ‘Kiss me, O my sweetheart’. Now who is responsible for these sins?
The burden of these sins is undoubtedly on Jesus.
(Nur al-Quran, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 9,
p. 416)
Although the Messiah (Jesus) kept healing physical ailments by this
practice (of mesmerism), in terms of instilling firm belief and guidance
in the hearts regarding the Oneness of God and in establishing religious
steadfastness, his achievements were so poor that he was almost a failure.
(Azalah-i Auham, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 3,
p. 258)
Mirza’s following remark not only belittles Jesus’ teachings, but it also
refutes the established religious beliefs that Jesus is alive and is destined
to return to earth.
It is unjustly said about the person (Jesus) who is buried in the
locality of Khanyar, Sirinagar, Kashmir, that he is sitting in the Heavens.
Alas! how great an injustice! God, in keeping to His promises has the power
over everything. But He can never send a person to this world the second
time whose first coming caused so much harm that it ruined the world.
(Dafi’ al-Bala, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 18,
p. 235)
Don’t you know that manliness and virlity are praiseworthy attributes of
men. Being impotent is not a commendable quality just as being death and
dumb are not commendable. Yes, this objection is indeed very great, that
the Messiah being completely deprived of the greatest of the masculine
qualities (viz. virlity) could not leave a practical example of a perfect
and upright social life with his wives. Therefore, the European women took
advantage of the extremely shameful laxity and crossed the limits of moderation
whose consequences were the unspeakable acts, fornication and adultery.
(Nur al-Quran, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 9,
pp. 392,393)
The above is an example of Mirza’s deplorable and insulting statements
in which he openly slandered, accused and defamed Jesus, the Messiah. Due
to sheer antagonism, Mirza Qadiani harboured extreme malice against Jesus,
therefore he went as far as accusing him of being an alcoholic and one
upon whom the blame for fornication lies.
It is interesting to compare that Qadianis view Jesus as the
perpetrator of fornication, one of the greatest sins, whereas Christians
believe he absolved everyone of sin, and the Islamic view is that he brought
the message of God to admonish people and prevent them from sin, and not
encouraging people to sin by way of salvation through atonement. The message
of his Lord was delivered by way of preaching and setting an example of
great character.
