504 The Argument of an Opponent Backfired The late Hadrat Qazi Muhammad Nazir Fazal, Lyalpuri ra , related a very interesting incident, “Once, in Sialkot, I was engaged in a debate with Pir Nadir Shah Sahib on the topic of Khatam-e- Nubuwwat. When Pir Sahib felt impending defeat in the debate, he made one Maulvi stand up and asked him to announce that he is a Prophet of God just as Mirza Sahib was a Prophet. Then, he told me to prove that the person’s claim of being a Prophet was false. At this, I stood up and addressed the gathering: ‘O my friends! I am extremely thankful to God Almighty that the issue of discussion between me and Pir Sahib has been resolved. The point of discussion was whether any Prophet could come after the Holy Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in his Ummah. Pir Sahib has practically proved that a prophet can come. Look! Pir Sahib’s prophet is standing in front of you. Now he wants me to prove that he is a false Prophet. I don’t need to prove that he is a false prophet. He has not been sent by God Almighty. Rather, right now in front of you, Pir Sahib has asked him to claim that he is a prophet. Obviously, there is no need to prove such a person to be an impostor. Pir Sahib was stunned to hear this answer and the non- Ahmadi, who was representing Pir Sahib on the panel of moderators, announced on the spot that he had accepted Ahmadiyyat. ” (Faith-Inspiring Incidents of Heavenly Support in the Field of Preaching, pp 21-22)
