34 A It is merely the grace and mercy of God Almighty that the argument of the opponent is reverted on him. In this regard, © adhrat Qazi Mu ™ ammad Nazeer related the following interesting incident. Once he was having a debate in Sialkot with Peer Nadir Shah on the topic of Khatm-i-Nubuwwat (Finality of the Prophethood). When Peer Nadir Shah was cornered, he asked one of the Maulavis of his own side to stand up and declare that he was a Nab ī (a prophet) just like © adhrat Mirza Ghul ā m A ™ mad, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). The Maulavi did accordingly and Peer Nadir Shah challenged © adhrat Qazi Mu ™ ammad Nazeer to prove him false. At this © adhrat Qazi Mu ™ ammad Nazeer stood up and addressing the audience said, “Thank God that the issue under discussion has been fully resolved. The moot point was if a prophet could come in the Ummah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him). Worthy audience can see with their own eyes that Peer Nadir Shah has himself practically proved it. Here is a prophet standing before all of you who has come after the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him). Now Peer Nadir Shah wants me to prove him false. I need not falsify him as he is not sent by the Almighty. This prophet is made by the Peer Nadir Shah himself. It is God Who sends the prophets. Every one among the audience knows very well that he is false and there is no need for me to falsify him. Hearing this, poor Peer Nadir Shah was dumbfounded. The gentleman, whom the Peer Nadir Shah had nominated as the arbitrator, joined Jam ā ‘at A ™ madiyya in front of the whole audience. [14]
