A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 13 ] Moguls. [This cites a reference to Kit a b-ul-Bariyyah , 2 nd ed. 1932, p. 134. ] Later on he declared that he had received revelation that he is of Iranian descent. He probably made this claim so that he could fulfil the H ad i th of the Holy Prophet sa that praised Iranian Muslims for their effort in the propagation of Islam. However, till the last moment of his life, he was not able to determine his exact ancestry. First, he claimed to be a Mogul, and sometime later, he stated that he has some relationship with s a d a t i. e. , and that he is from the progeny of the Holy Prophet sa. In the end, he made the claim that according to the revelation, he was of Iranian descent. He acknowledged that with the exception of a so called vision, he had no evidence that he was of Iranian descent. ( Qadiyaniyyat — A Grave Threat to Islam , p. 9–10) In this concocted story, there are many points worth not- ing, which I will recount separately. One aspect of this objection is that he claimed to be of Iranian origin, so that he could prove himself to be the fulfilment of the H ad i th in which Iranian Muslims are praised for their part in the propagation of Islam. This is a distortion of facts. They did not have the courage to narrate the original H ad i th. In the H ad i th, no mention is made about Iranian Muslims serving Islam. What is mentioned is that faith will ascend to the Pleiades. In one version of the H ad i th, ‘one person’ is mentioned and in another version ‘persons’ (in plural) are mentioned.
