A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 7 ] In Tafs i r R uh ul Ma‘ a n i , part 16, p. 183, the following is written about Hadrat Imam Mahd i. 8 It has been stated that the awaited Mahd i would also stammer. And when he will not be able to express himself, he will strike his left thigh with his right hand. Now if the Imam Mahd i has come with the so called ‘grave threat’ as prophesied, then we would have to accept this danger, as this is a sign of his truthfulness. It should be noted that this entire discussion is based upon a ‘reference’ in the White Paper, which cites the daily al-Fa d l , September 14, 1938. This ‘reference’ does not exist anywhere in the September 14, 1938 al-Fa d l. Look it up in the al-Fa d l , there is no mention at all in the entire newspa- per. The whole reference has been fabricated. One wonders at the moral deprivation of this government which resorts to fabricating an entire reference just to deceive the world. Another Baseless Objection Another objection is that: After receiving basic education in his ancestral vil- lage, Mirz a Sahib was employed in the office of the 8. The literal translation of the Arabic word Mahd i , is ‘the Guid- ed One’. This is the title given by the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa to the awaited Reformer of the Latter Days.
