10 Barahin-e-ahmadiyya
Allah. It would, in fact, be absurd to start a debate about something
that is not even contested. However, when one confronts
a variety of doctrines, beliefs, doubts and apologies, one cannot
afford to leave anything out.
Likewise, arguments written in refutation of a particular faith
will not, in general, be applicable to another. For instance, when
we quote prophecies from the Holy Bible in support of the truthfulness
of the Prophethood of Hadrat Khatam-e-Anbiya’ [the
Seal of the Prophets], may peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him, we may be able to convince the Christians and the Jews, but
a Hindu or a Zoroastrian or a philosopher or a Brahmu Samajist
would not accept evidence based on a book in which he does not
believe. He would respond that since he does not believe in those
books, any argument based on them is not acceptable to him. The
same will be the answer of the Christians to anything worthwhile
that we might present to them from the Vedas.
This is why a book was urgently required to demonstrate,
through rational arguments, the authenticity and divine origin of
Islam in a manner that convinces all the other faiths. And alhamdolillah
[all praise belongs to God] that this book, which meets
all these objectives, has been so prepared.
The second distinction of this book is that it contains a most
effective method for refuting the baseless objections of Islam’s
opponents and completing our argument against them; that is to
say, it includes a challenge that offers a reward of 10,000 rupees to
opponents, so that they may not be left with any excuses. It places
upon them a heavy burden, which they will not be able to shed till
doomsday—a burden that will embitter their self-contradictory
lives in such a way that only they will know.
