INTRODUCTION
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF WRITING THE BOOK Jesus Jesus India in
To dispel serious misconceptions about the earlier and later life of Jesus (on whom be peace) by authentic evidence
Page 1 THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF WRITING THIS
BOOK
Jesus Jesus India in
These misconceptions about the life of Jesus and Jihad have hijacked and destroyed the concept of Tauhid—Divine Unity and has adversely effected the moral condition of Muslims
Page 1 THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF WRITING THIS BOOK
Commenting lamentably at the deteriorated moral conditions of Muslims and totally erroneous concept of Jihad, the
Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace) said, Jesus Jesus India in
‘By the grace of God, I have adduced arguments powerful enough to dispel these unfounded beliefs from peoples’ minds’
The Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace) expressed hope that by clear proofs along with conclusive circumstantial and historical evidence truth will be understood
The real object of this book is to correct the wrong beliefs which have found their way into the creeds of the Muslims and the Christians
Page 3 JESUS AND BELIEFS OF MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS
Christians are guilty of a grave error
in calling a humble man God
Jesus Jesus India in
Christians and most Muslims believe that Jesus was raised to the heavens alive; he is still alive in the heavens and will return to the earth sometime in the latter days
Muslims believe in a bloodthirsty Mahdi and an equally violent Messiah
Page 3, 6 BELIEVING IN A BLOOD-THIRSTY MESSIAH AND MAHDI
This belief has corrupted their moral condition to the extent that Muslims can not live with other people in peace
and harmony, or can be loyal to a non-Muslim government Jesus Jesus India in
A belief that non-Muslims should be subjected to coercion that they should either become Muslims or be put to death, is open to very serious objections
Such harsh thinking makes hearts devoid of human sympathy, justice and compassion; and allows spite and ill will to flourish leading to brutality
But it is only too obvious that such teachings cannot be from God, Who punishes only after His message has been fully communicated

God has commanded me that with
I have been sent by God to lead the Jesus India in humility and peace I should invite world to the True God people to God
I publicly proclaim that God has revealed to me that the Promised Messiah who is also the Mahdi, tidings of whose appearance are found in the Bible, the Holy Qur’an and Ahadith is none other than myself
God has provided me with I have been sent to re-establish the heavenly signs for the satisfaction reign of moral values in Islam of seekers of truth
Page 12-13 JESUS IN INDIA; THE FACTS REVEALED
I shall try to prove in this book that Jesus did not Jesus India in die on the cross, nor did he go up to the heavens;
nor would he ever again come down to the earth
The fact of the matter is that Jesus died at the age of 120 years at Srinagar, Kashmir, where his tomb is still to be found in the Khan Yar quarter
