Life of Ahmad — Page 159
as ADDRESSES THE A RYA SAM A J 159 It should not be supposed that the enemies of Ahmad as remained idle all this time. As a matter of fact it was their aggressive attitude that had moved him to stand up for the defence of Islam. Ahmad’s as vigorous writings further exasperated the enemies of Islam, who renewed their attacks and burst out in violent abuse with greater venom and spite than ever before. Pt. Lekhr a m produced the Takdh i b Br a h i n-e- Ahmadiyya along with Nuskha Khabat Ahmadiyya and also issued several leaflets. He also made fiery speeches in various parts of the country and poured out rank abuse upon the Founder sa of Islam. The Sam a j also published a tract entitled Surma Chashm A rya k i H aq i qat aur Fan Fareib Ghulam Ahmad k i Kaifiyyat. Babu Part a p Bah a dur, a member of the A rya Sam a j, Rawalpindi, also tried to write a reply and wrote a letter to Ahmad as in this connection. M. Abdullah Sanauri answered this letter on June 3rd, 1887, under Ahmad’s as instructions saying that private correspondence was not of any use. The Babu should publish his book and then he would be exposed in public. A special leaflet was issued at the Chashma for it he wanted to buy from Delhi. But for one reason or another this book could not be completed. The Muqaddama of this book was published in the Riy ad -e-Hind, Amritsar, as a supplement to its No. 18, dated March 1st, 1886. He tried to bring a press to Qadian from Lahore but the time had not become ripe for it; with the idea of having a printing press at Qadian in 1887, Ahmad as also thought of issuing a monthly magazine under the title reference to which is found in his book Sha h na’-e- H aq. This proposed monthly was also called and it was also intended to issue it in English. But the scheme did not materialise.
