A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 5 ] If stammering is in fact objectionable, then why did Almighty Allah choose the one who stammered and was less eloquent? In fact, the Holy Qur’an has recorded that the Prophet Moses as could not speak eloquently, but despite that people believe him to be a true Prophet. In addition, people do not believe that the Prophet Moses as , despite his stammering, was a ‘grave threat’ to his religion. Yet, when they talk about the Promised Messiah as they repeat the same objections raised by the Pharaoh. It is a Divine decree that skeptics repeat the same objections against Prophets that were made by earlier people. In their commentaries, a lot of tales are written about stammering. It is written in Tafs i r R uh ul Ma‘ a n i , part 19, p. 65 that: Because of the atmosphere of suppression, the Prophet Moses was not able to speak clearly. This is a common experience. For example, when even the most eloquent people are struck with extreme grief, their hearts are overwhelmed, and as a result their speech falters, and they cannot express themselves. Whatever justifications are given, one can easily find refer- ences about the lack of eloquence of the Prophet Moses as in different commentaries of the Holy Qur’an. For example, Fat h -ul-Qad i r , part. 3, p. 363, Tafs i r Jal a lain , p. 408, Tafs i r al-Kh a zin , part. 3, p. 237, etc.
