             Bediuzzaman describes this community as "the spiritual com-
             munity of those struggling in Allah's cause." As Bediuzzaman
             also says, this community will enjoy a high level of spirituality
             and will strive and wage a constant intellectual struggle on the
             path of Allah.


                 Quantitatively … Very Few and Small:

                 Bediuzzaman reports that the community led by the
             Prophet Jesus (as) will be very few in number and small com-
             pared to the society of the deniers of Allah. As Almighty Allah
             has revealed in the Qur'an, "... How many a small force has tri-
             umphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission."
             (Surat al-Baqara, 249)
                 The true believers who, albeit few in number, are devoted to
             the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times
             will, by Allah's leave, be victorious and totally eradicate the fit-
             nah of the dajjal. In these words Bediuzzaman once again refers
             to the community represented by the Prophet Jesus (as) in per-
             son and describes its characteristics.
                 As clarified above, however, it is the person of the Prophet
             Jesus (as) who will lead this community. Bediuzzaman is thus
             making it clear that the Prophet Jesus (as) is "AN INDIVID-
             UAL" at the head of the collective personality he represents, not
             a collective personality himself.
                 5. It is narrated that "he will be so powerful and long-lived that

                 ONLY THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL BE ABLE TO
                 DESTROY HIM; NOTHING ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO." That
                 is, IT WILL ONLY BE A REVEALED, ELEVATED, PURE
                 RELIGION THAT WILL BE ABLE TO OVERTURN HIS WAY
                 AND RAPACIOUS REGIME, AND ELIMINATE THEM.
