Number Three 73 security [of the Quran] would be lifted and it would follow neces- sarily that the sum totality of all Quranic arguments affirming the Tau hi d [Oneness] of Allah and prophethood must be erroneous and frivolous. Today Ha fi z Sahib has taken it upon himself to prove, in sup- port of this denial, that there are people who made false claims to be Prophets or Messengers of God for twenty-three years or more and then remained alive. Perhaps tomorrow Ha fi z Sahib may state that this argument of the Quran: 1 ْوَل َناَك ۤاَمِهْيِف ٌةَهِلٰا اَّلِا ُهّٰللا اَتَدَسَفَل is also wrong, and claim that I can show that there are some other gods besides Allah who are true, but that the heavens and the earth still continue to exist. Thus, we may expect anything from such a brash Ha fi z Sahib. However, the body of a person of faith begins to tremble when someone says that something mentioned in the Quran is contrary to the facts, or that such and such an argument which is in the Quran is false. On the contrary, it is not the job of a person of faith to adopt that filthy approach concerning any matter by which an attack results upon the Quran and the Holy Prophet, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him. The only reason for the plight of Ha fi z Sahib to have reached such a degree [of severity] 1. If there had been in both the heaven and the earth gods other than Allah, then both the heaven and the earth would have ended up in chaos ( S u rah al-Anbiy a ’, 21:23). [Publisher]
