not have all parts of the book, what am I supposed to give to the
buyers, and how am I to ask them for the advance payment that

I have also been distressed by the remarks of some unintelligent
people who are in no position to make valid observations in matters
of faith because of their ignorance and indifference. When it
was announced that the cost of the publication would be around
9,000 rupees, they started creating hurdles with hypocritical
remarks instead of readily offering their support in view of the
low price of the book and high cost of publication. They have

vast corpus of religious literature. I do not care about such objections,
for I know that the worldly-minded have their own interests

they have to part with a few pennies. But since, by denigrating
this serious effort, they are trying to deprive people of its immense
benefits and are sparing no opportunity to sting as is their wont,
and since I do not want anybody to be misled by their senseless
talk, I would like to reiterate what I said in Part I, that Barahin-e-
Ahmadiyya has not been written without a true and urgent need.
Had another book been able to fulfil the same objectives, I would
have readily endorsed it and devoted myself to its propagation. In
