A Conclusive Argument in Favour of Islam — Page 56
19 ِ ِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم ﷲ بِسْمِ ا My dear and kind Reverend, With due regards. Your letter was read out to me from beginning to end. I agree to all of the conditions signed by you and my friends. However, it first needs to be clearly determined as to what will be the ultimate objective of this debate and contest. Will it be like those ordinary debates that have been going on between Christians and Muslims for a number of years in the Punjab and India with the result that the Muslims firmly believe to have overcome the Christians in every issue, and the Christians, on their part, assert to their fellow brethren that they have silenced the Muslims? If this is the case then such a debate is totally futile and fruitless. The final outcome will be nothing more than the clamour and excitement that will surround this debate of a few days, and this will then provide braggarts with the opportunity to claim victory for their respective sides. But what I desire is for the truth to be manifested, so that the world at large can witness 19 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. [Publisher]
