488 Amazing Manifestation of the Power of Allah Hadrat Master Muhammad Shafi Aslam Sahib ra was one of the preachers against the Shudhi (apostasy plan in the name of purification) Movement. He narrates: “Across the River Ganges, there was a village by the name of Nagarya Jawahar. I came to know that residents of the village were inclined towards Shudhi. So, I planned to organise a gathering in the town. Maulana Jalalud Din Shams Sahib ra had been appointed as a debater for the area. Whenever there was a debate with the Arya Samajists , we used to ask Maulvi Sahib to come from Agra for the debate. Thus, I requested Maulvi Sahib to come to the gathering. In the evening, Maulvi Sahib, Muhammad Yamin, a bookseller, myself, and a couple of other people arrived in the village of Nagarya Jawaher. The gathering took place at night. Both I and Maulvi Sahib spoke at the gathering. There was a non-Ahmadi Maulvi who also spoke. At the conclusion of the meeting, Malkanas (Rajput Muslims of the area who were the target of the Shudhi Movement) said, ‘The Hindus of this area are very wicked and they intend to make trouble. It is possible that they will create disorder at night. We are weak and cannot protect you. It will be better if you leave the village right now. ’
