Dard ra , edition of 2008, pp. 422-423) The Book In this book, the Promised Messiah as discussed the point raised by the Christians and all those who were happy on what they called on the non-fulfilment of the prophecy of the Promised Messiah as , he regretted that even Muslims had joined the Christians in making fun of him, especially when the debate was held by the Promised Messiah as to establish the superiority and the truth of the Holy Prophet sa and the Holy Quran over Jesus Christ and the Bible. To convince the public that A tham had actually changed his attitude towards Islam, the Promised Messiah as asked him to deny it openly, and if he had not, in which case, the Promised Messiah as prophesied, A tham would actually be stricken with death within one year. Otherwise, the Promised Messiah as promised to pay a sum of Rs 1,000 as a penalty by way of acknowledgment of his defeat. He invited A tham to declare in an open meeting under a most solemn oath that he had not turned to the truth. He offered him Rs. 2,000 but A tham did not come forward. He would not take the oath. The Promised Messiah as sent registered letters to A tham, Rev. Dr. Henry Martyn Clark and Imad-du-Din. In answer to these letters, Dr. Clark wrote to state that A tham was not prepared to take the oath. In the next leaflet, therefore, the Promised Messiah as offered Rs. 2,000 and asked A tham again to come forward and swear in the name of God as witness that he had not changed his attitude.
