It is also possible that some mis - chievous Christians outwardly accepted Islam and then started spreading these fabricated stories among Muslims. Early Muslim historians and collectors of Traditions, in their honesty, collected all such stories alongside the true ones so that every aspect should be available to the reader, but people of later generations, who had lost the light of faith, started accepting the stories that were con - trary to the teachings of Islam while ignoring those that testified to the innocence and purity of the Prophets. However, praise be to Allah, the Promised Messiah as exposed all this falsehood, re-established the true status of Prophets, and undertook to safeguard their honour. In particular, he upheld the greatness of the Holy Prophet s as , not just with claims but with powerful arguments that silenced the opponents. In the words of the Promised Messiah as : وبد دصق اتفب ٓا روسےل رہ اونرے رہم وبد روسےل رہ Every Prophet was the light of truthfulness; Every Prophet was a luminous sun. انپہ ن ں ی � د ےلظ وبد روسےل رہ رمثمے ابےغ وبد روسےل رہ Every Prophet was like a divine shelter for the faith, Every Prophet was a fruit-bearing orchard.
