may be taken as divinely revealed.<br />
The undue liberties he took, and continues to take, with the<br />
Vedas is his own affair, but his efforts to unjustly disrespect and<br />
malign the Holy Quran will certainly cause him great ignominy.<br />
Indeed, the time has already come with the writing of this book. I<br />

machinations of the enemies could do no harm to them. Like the<br />
delicate and beautiful plants that please the gardener, they grew<br />
and flourished until they became large, shady and fruitful trees—<br />
in which spiritual birds seeking spiritual and heavenly comfort
