holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, he adds<br />
that God did not stop him from spreading the Faith, for he intended<br />
to warn and punish the christians through him. What justice and what<br />
fairness!! Imagine how he has manipulated the facts. The clergyman<br />
would rather bring down divine chastisement on own his people than<br />
accept the Prophethood of Muhammad! how pitiable is his prejudice.<br />
What an atrocious statement about punishment. Alas, the padre felt<br />
no fear of God in expressing such prejudicial views. otherwise, it is<br />
obvious that it is the height of disbelief, daring and obstinacy to suggest<br />
that, finding the world shrouded in error and misguidance, God<br />
plunged it into even greater error! one wonders at the honesty and<br />
piety of these clerics who, in their hostility towards the holy Prophet,<br />
do not hesitate to deny that God is the Source of Guidance. Surely, no<br />
reasonable person can ever believe that at a time when error and misguidance<br />
were pandemic and people were immersed in idolatry and<br />
creature-worship, the best plan that God could think of was to make<br />
their condition even worse and to impose upon them someone who,<br />
instead of correcting their ways, would plunge them—as the priest<br />
alleges—into even greater misguidance by declaring that God did<br />
not pollute himself with blood and filth [by entering into a woman’s<br />
womb], was and is above and beyond being born in human form, pain,<br />
agony and death.<br />
can anyone honestly think, or the conscience of any honest person<br />
accept, that such are the attributes of the Noble and Merciful God,<br />
and that he responds to the prevailing evil in the world by plunging<br />
them into a far deeper abyss of misguidance? Any rational person<br />
can understand that when ignorance and misguidance spreads in the<br />
world, it requires a reformer. Any sensible person can clearly see that<br />
a manifestation of God’s attribute of guidance is needed at the time of<br />
widespread misguidance and corruption. But how can those who are<br />
blinded by prejudice be made to see? Alas, the clergymen who exhibit<br />
such obduracy seem to have no fear of the day of reckoning. And why<br />
should they when they rely on the atonement of their sins through the<br />
Messiah. otherwise, it is unreasonable to believe that the clergy can<br />
be so ignorant of the eternal divine practice of God and believe that<br />
God—who sent his Messenger at the time of Musa [Moses] because a
