said that the Mi’râj was not a journey in body, but it was thesoul’s getting exalted passing beyond the ecstasies and ranks;this argument of theirs is kufr and ilhâd, that is, it is somethingwhich makes one a zindîq; it is enmity against Islam.”Hamidullah’s writing shows that he belongs to the Ismâilî group.The fact that he is from Hyderabad, center of the Ismâîlîs,corroborates this belief of ours. Most of the Sahâbat al-kirâmreported the hadîth about the Mi’râj. It is written with details byal-Bukhârî and Muslim. Those who have îmân should alsobelieve the mu’jiza of the Mi’râj.It is seen that Hamidullah, in all his books, tries to explainIslam in two different points of view; one according to historyand one according to his own understanding.

This catastrophic event is written indetail in our books Confessions of a British Spy and CouldNot Answer. When their weapons also proved useless in theirefforts to annihilate Islam, they pursued a policy to break it fromwithin. In 1296 [A.D. 1880], they helped a person namedAhmad Qâdiyânî to establish a new religion in India. Thisreligion, which was called Qâdianism or Ahmadiyya, waspropagated as an Islamic religion. The Islamic scholars in Indiawrote books proving that votaries of that religion weredisbelievers. Formerly the British had supported the Wahhâbîreligion for the same purpose. Abd-us-salâm, who made fameby winning the Nobel Prize for physics, is a Qâdiyânî. AhmadDidad, a man of religion who struggled against Christians androuted them, is not a Sunnî Muslim, either.
