challenge, sent to Mirza Tahir on behalf of the Writer, zs reproduced below.<br />
Janab Mirza Tahir Sahib,<br />
Peace be on those who follow the right path!<br />
You have lately published a challenge for Mubahala. I should not have considered the<br />
pamphlet worth any attention because this is my normal practice with Qadiani outbursts<br />
but on return from abroad, I found a copy of your challenge in my mail, and I have been<br />
specifically asked to answer. Therefore it devolves on me to give you this reply.<br />
Here <strong>are</strong> some points in answer:<br />
ALLAH EXTOLLS THOSE WHO FIGHT APOSTATES<br />
(1) At the outset, let me thank you for having included the name of this humble self in the<br />
list of opponents of the Arch Liar of the Present times, i.e., Mirza Ghulam Ahmad<br />
Qadiani - the 'Musailma' of the Punjab.<br />
You have done me a great honour, indeed, which Quran Majeed has recounted in these<br />
words:<br />
O BELIEVERS, WHOEVER FROM AMONGST YOU FORSAKES HIS RELIGION<br />
THEN ALLAH WILL CREATE VERY SOON SUCH PEOPLE WHOM ALLAH<br />
SHALL LOVE AND WHO SHALL LOVE ALLAH; THEY WILL BE KIND<br />
TOWARDS MUSLIMS AND FORCEFUL OVER KAFIRS; THEY WILL BE<br />
FIGHTING IN THE WAY OF ALLAH AND WILL NOT BE AFRAID OF<br />
ACCUSATIONS OF ANY ACCUSER; THIS IS ALLAH'S MUNIFICENCE. HE<br />
BESTOWS IT UPON WHOMSOEVER HE WANTS AND ALLAH IS ALL-<br />
PERVADING AND KNOWS EVERY THING. (HQ 5:54)<br />
In this blessed 'Ayat', six eminent virtues have been enumerated for those who contend<br />
with the apostates. Firstly, they <strong>are</strong> slaves whom Allah loves; secondly,they <strong>are</strong> among<br />
Allah's true lovers; thirdly, they <strong>are</strong> complaisant towards the people of the faith; fourthly,<br />
they <strong>are</strong> severe over the Kafirs; fifthly,they wage war in the path of Allah to perform the<br />
obligation of communicating His celebrated Commands and His Prohibitions; sixthly,<br />
they don't mind accusers reproaching them in the matter of Deen. In the end of this 'Ayat',<br />
it is proclaimed that this is Allah's Special Favour which is bestowed upon whosoever He<br />
wants.<br />
GHULAM AHMAD QADIANI--THE MUSAILMA OF THE PUNJAB<br />
In the light of this holy verse, the first and foremost to deserve the avowed honour <strong>are</strong><br />
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq and his associates (Allah be pleased with them all) because they<br />
fought with Musailma, the Liar, and other apostates. Now, in the present times, recipients<br />
of these glad tidings <strong>are</strong> those who <strong>are</strong> contending with the Arch Liar, Mirza Ghulam<br />
Ahmad Qadiani and his progeny of mini liars. Therefore, your counting me among the<br />
adversaries of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a proof which you have provided for this humble<br />
self that he is fit to be included among the praiseworthy persons extolled in the above<br />
holy verse. It is evidently a great testimony and a very happy news of Allah's great<br />
Munificence for this hapless soul. Words fail me to thank you for this gesture.
