                             THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
                 As stated by Bediuzzaman, the dajjal will deceive most peo-
             ple using these deceptive techniques. The false miracles and
             deceptions perpetrated by the dajjal, at a time when the whole
             Christian world is awaiting the return to Earth of the Prophet
             Jesus (as) and the Jews are awaiting Hazrat Messiah (as), may
             cause many people to be deceived by the dajjal. In this passage,

             Bediuzzaman emphasizes this attribute of the dajjal and also
             implies that he is not a collective personality. Bediuzzaman
             makes this perfectly clear by referring to the way the dajjal
             deceives people using such deceptive techniques as hypnosis
             and displays of magic.
                 There is no doubt that it would be wrong for one, who
             accepts that the dajjal is an individual in the light of these state-
             ments of Bediuzzaman, to claim that the Prophet Jesus (as) and
             Hazrat Mahdi (as) could be collective personalities despite all
             the evidence and details Bediuzzaman provides on the subject.
                 There is no doubt that in all his statements Bediuzzaman,
             who possessed a very high level of knowledge, set the truth out
             in the best way for Muslims and he said, in a way that leaves no
             room for doubt, that "like the dajjal, the Prophet Jesus (as) and
             Hazrat Mahdi (as) are both INDIVIDUALS."


                 It could only be a Wondrous Person with the
                 Power of Miracles… who is the Prophet of the
                 Majority of Mankind:

                 Bediuzzaman says that the person who will eliminate the
             corruption of the dajjal will be a blessed "INDIVIDUAL" who,
             by the mercy of Allah, will work miracles, and whom the great
             majority of people follow. In the next part of the passage he iden-
             tifies this person as the Prophet Jesus (as). This is so explicit as to
