Explaining the purpose of writing the book, the Promised Messiah as said that some people might think that P i r Sahib was certainly capable of holding a debate with him, if not writing commentary in Arabic. The Promised Messiah as said he could not undertake a debate as in his book Anj a m-e- A tham he had foresworn not to hold any further debate but nonetheless Maulav i Sahib could write a refutation of this book. In order to remove this lurking suspicion in the minds of the people, he invited P i r Sahib to try his hand in writing a refutation of this book and the arguments that he had adduced in favour of the natural death of Jesus, son of Mary. Specimen of Writing 1) God has bestowed upon me the understanding of the Holy Quran. 2) God has taught me the language of the Holy Quran in a miraculous manner. 3) God accepts my prayers more than of any other person. 4) God has supported me with heavenly Signs. 5) God has granted me signs from the earth. 6) God has bestowed upon me that I shall triumph over everyone who comes forward to oppose me.
