Ahmadiyya Muslim translation of the Holy Qur’ān but just next
to it, he quotes from an unofficial translation of the Holy
Qur’ān, that is, the Muhammad ‘Alī translation. Second, he
attributes certain beliefs to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamā‘at
under the heading “Ahmadī Argument” but fails to present an
authentic quotation from Ahmadiyya Muslim literature.
One may say that perhaps Farhan Khan is doing this
unknowingly but this possibility is eliminated when one reads
the footnote on Page 3 of his book, “For the sake of intellectual
honesty, none of these quotations have been edited in any way
from their exact English translations except that the spellings of
certain words were changed...” Thus, it can be concluded that
“intellectual honesty” is not a term alien to him and he appears
to understand that changing a quotation or altering someone’s
belief is dishonesty. Despite that, he repeatedly attributes beliefs
to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamā‘at in his book without quoting
from authentic sources. For example, he writes that Ahmadī
Muslims believe “...there is no finality of prophethood.” 231 In the
beginning of the previous chapter, it has already been proven
that Ahmadī Muslims strongly believe in the finality of
prophethood and believe that the coming of Hazrat ‘Īsā as
himself would break the Seal of prophethood.
At another place, Farhan Khan writes, “Likewise, while
the original meaning of اداء ٓ [ash-shuhadā’] is witnesses, when
used in the Qur’ān and Hadīth literature, it always means
martyrs...” 232 , and, “Never once does Malik Ghulām Farīd
translate اداء ٓ [ash-shuhadā’] to mean witnesses.” 233 Both these
statements are blatant lies! It is ridiculous how Farhan Khan could
