The Holy War — Page 96
96 Deputy [Abdullah Atham] sahib! No truth can be established without signs. In the world as well, there is a standard by which truths can be recognised, and that is to evaluate them based on their signs. So we have presented those proofs as also our claim regarding them. Now, this is a debt you owe us. If you will not present and will not prove by what reason the way of salvation attributed to the Messiah is true, cor- rect, and perfect, then, till such time, your claim can never be accepted as correct, but rather the way that the Noble Quran has mentioned will be considered correct and true because we see that it has not just made mention of it, but has shown it in actuality and I have presented its proof. You should now please not mention this story of salvation without proofs, and reason by way of a mere claim alone. Let any per- son from among yourselves stand up and proclaim that I have gained salvation in accord with the way the Messiah has stated, and those signs of salvation and perfect faith which Jesus, the Messiah, had prescribed are present in me. So how can we deny this? What we desire is indeed salvation, but nobody can accept mere talk. I have already stated before you that I have seen with my own eyes the bestowing of salvation by the Holy Quran, and I again swear in the name of Almighty Allah, that I am ready to show this in a contest face to face. But first you must answer me ‘yes’ or ‘no’, whether true salvation together with its signs is found in your religion or not; and if it is found, then show it and compare and if it is not found then just simply say that salvation is not found in our religion, and in such case I would be ready unilaterally to provide proofs from our side.
