Page 263 - The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) Did Not Die

HARUN YAHYA

In his works Bediuzzaman says that this intellectual
struggle for the truth will take place immediately after his

own time and, thus that the coming of the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) had not yet taken place in
his own day.

The spiritual community of those strug-
gling in Allah's cause:

In this passage, Bediuzzaman refers to a community
made up of people who support and believe in the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) and who follow the way he shows to them.
This community represents the collective personality
of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). But it will also have the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) in person as its leader, an individual who rep-

resents this collective personality. Bediuzzaman is empha-
sizing here that the person of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and
his collective personality are two distinct concepts.
Understanding the lofty spirituality of the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) is something that will only be bestowed on
those who possess sufficient spirituality to perceive this
blessed individual. Bediuzzaman describes this community
as "the spiritual community 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.
