The one most notable in <i>Dasatir<\/i> is that in the epistle of <i>Sasan <\/i>I. Its translation has been summarized thus: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cwhen the Zoroastrian people will forsake their religion and will become dissolute a man will rise in Arabia whose followers will conquer Persia and subjugate the arrogant Persians. Instead of worship\u00adping fire in their own temples, they will turn their faces in prayer towards Ka\u2019bah of Abraham which will be cleared of all idols. They (the followers of the Arabian prophet), will be a mercy unto the world <i><span style=\"color: purple;\">\u2013(Mohammad is a mercy to the world\u2013Qur\u2019an 7:158; 21:107). <\/span><\/i>They will become masters of Persia, Madain, Tus, Balkh, the sacred places of the Zoroastrians and the neighbour\u00ading territories. Their prophet will be an eloquent man telling miraculous things.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 The scripture clearly declares that a man will be raised in Arabia, and that he will conquer Persia and the people will pray facing the Ka\u2019ba in Makkah, Arabia. Abdul Haque explains:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBefore the advent of the Holy Prophet (Mohammad),\u00a0the Zoroastrians had lost most of their scriptures. They\u00a0had deteriorated both in morality and religion, and all\u00a0these facts are clearly recorded in the epistle of Sasan. This was the first sign of the appearance of the reformer.\u00a0The prophecy of his advent was so well-known to the\u00a0Parsis and Magians and they were so anxious about the\u00a0appearance of their redeemer, that they flocked with\u00a0their presents to any place where they heard a reformer\u00a0had appeared. <span style=\"background: yellow;\">The author of St. Matthew\u2019s Gospel also\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background: yellow;\">heard of this news and in order to apply this famous <\/span><span style=\"background: yellow;\">prophecy on Jesus Christ he coined an imaginary tale\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background: yellow;\">and recorded it in the Gospel.<\/span> The author of this Gospel\u00a0is well-known for this peculiar trait. Whatever good news he heard of, he at once applied it on Jesus, and he\u00a0never cared what interpretation he was given to the text\u00a0of an ancient scripture, but he did his best to prove\u00a0somehow or other that the text referred to Jesus Christ. A prophecy of the appearance of \u2018the praised one\u2019 was\u00a0current in Persia, and the Gospel writer having come to\u00a0know of it at once coined a story, without contemplating\u00a0that he was recording many unbelievable things and\u00a0events contrary to actual facts. And the very fact that no\u00a0other Gospel\u00ad-writer has confirmed this story is enough to\u00a0reject it. The author of St. Matthew\u2019s Gospel writes that\u00a0when Jesus was born, some Magians and wise men of\u00a0the East were directed to him by a star; the star went\u00a0before them till it came and stood over where Christ\u00a0was, and thus they came to worship him and offer him\u00a0their presents (Matt. 2:1-11). St. Luke, on the other hand,\u00a0claims to \u2018have perfect understanding of all things from\u00a0the very first\u2019 (Luke 1:3), but he makes no mention at all\u00a0of the Magians having come to Christ or of the star that\u00a0directed them to him, although he makes mention of a petty fact of the shepherds having come to see Christ.\u00a0No star directed the shepherds, the only sign given to\u00a0them by the angel was: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cYe shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger\u201d\u2013(Luke 2:12).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Nowhere else save in the Gospel of St. Matthew is there\u00a0a mention of the Magians having come all the way from\u00a0Persia to present their gifts to Christ or of the star going\u00a0before them.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Ferrar, in his \u2018Life of Jesus Christ\u2019, writes of these\u00a0contradictions in the following terms:<br \/>\n\u201cThere is nothing but a mass of confused and\u00a0contradictory traditions to throw any light either on their rank, their country, their number or their names.\u201d (Dr.\u00a0Ferrar\u2019s \u2018Life of Jesus Christ,\u2019 page 30).<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 This tradition in the Christian scriptures, however, proves that a prophecy of the advent of the Holy Prophet\u00a0was current among the Magians and they were so\u00a0anxiously waiting for the Promised Prophet that even\u00a0their anxiety was known far and near. <span style=\"background: yellow;\">The author of St. <\/span><span style=\"background: yellow;\">Matthew\u2019s Gospel exploited the widespread publicity of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background: yellow;\">this prophecy and at once applied it to Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/span> (pp.\u00a0139-145).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 As noted, the prophecy states that the Promised Prophet will be from <i>Arabia<\/i><i>,<\/i> will <i>conquer Persia,<\/i> destroy idols and the people will <i>pray facing the Ka\u2019ba in Makkah, Arabia.<\/i><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Jesus was NOT raised in Arabia, nor destroyed idols, nor did his followers conquer Persia, nor does his people pray facing the Ka\u2019ba. The only prophet born in Arabia who destroyed idols and whose followers conquered Persia and prayed facing the Ka\u2019ba was the <i>Prophet Mohammad<\/i>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Intriguingly.
