113 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD AS truthful men of God. It has never been the case that they did not raise a great hue and cry upon hearing the truth; they cannot recognise what is true and correct. They do not desist from causing mischief and mixing truth with falsehood so that, through their criticism, they may mislead the ignorant. They consider the man whom God has raised for the reformation of people, as the devil. They proclaim believers to be disbelievers and they do not tread in any direction except that of deceit; their tongues do not incline towards anything except to utter proclamations of disbelief, and they have no idea what service to religion means. They have mixed falsehood with truth and knowingly forged lies against me. Thus, the greatest calamity to have befallen the faith of the Best of Creation is that most scholars of the age have transgressed the bounds of religion and trust and behaved in the manner of the adversaries of faith; they have kept recoursing to falsehood to shield it from the assault of truth and wisdom; they do not care at all about the Glorious God and, like those who harbour enmity, are helping the disbelievers; within their hearts, they have convinced themselves that they are on the right path, although they are manifestly treading the path of doom.
