MUBAHALAH WITH DOWIE 877 You are a man with no extraordinary merit from among those who are in error and you mislead oth- ers into error; therefore, fear Him who sees your imposture. I invite you to Islam, the True Faith, and to turn to Allah, the Possessor of Power and Honour, for repentance. If you decline to accept my invitation and move away from it, then let us engage in a mubahalah and invoke the curse of Allah upon the one who has forsaken truth and claims to be a Messenger and Prophet by way of imposture. Verily, Allah will decide between you and me and will destroy the liar during the lifetime of the truthful so that people should know who [between the two of us] is the truthful and who is the liar, and so that, after this judgment, the dis- pute is settled once and for all. I swear by God that truly I am the Promised Messiah whose advent was prophesied to occur in the Latter Days and the time of the spread of misguidance. Surely, ‘Īsā has died and the doc- trine of the Trinity is false. By claiming to be a Prophet, you are guilty of imposture against Allah; for prophethood came to an end after our Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and there is no Book after al-Furqan [the Discrimination; i. e. the Holy Quran] which is superior to all earlier Scriptures, neither is there any new shariah after the Muḥammadan Shariah.
