Otherwise, then it must be said ( n a’ozo billah ) that God Almighty has grown old and His powers have waned, and as such , He cannot punish anyone. T o hold such a belief is tantamount to apostasy.

Th e point is t hat even though the entire world turned against him - friends and foes, saints and their followers, the English and Arab schol ars - all who raised their voices against him, the Promised Messiah as stood alone and triumphed over everyone , shepherding tho usands of people to stand by him. I f the Promised Messiah as i s an imposter , the existence of God cannot be established either , for He did not do anything [to stop a so - called imposter]. Or , we will have to accept that God Almighty no longer has the power to punish anyone. Previously, He punished Namrood 1 , Shad d ad 2 , Pharaoh 3 and many others. H e mete d out punishment s even thirteen hundred years ago , but now, no matter what anyone does, He cannot punish them. This is a great accusation against the Being of Allah Almighty.

Namrood , the king of Babylon at the time of Prophet Abraham as 2 Shaddad , the king of Iram of the Pillars at the time of Prophet Hud as 3 Pharaoh , the king of Egypt at the time of Prophet Moses as - all claimed to be god during their reigns and representing the epitome of arrogance, caused their people to worship them. Their civilizations were all immersed in idolatry. All these kings committed acts of extreme cruelty and died unnatural deaths. [Editor]
