The Journal— Fateh Masih 1 2 ذِیْن َ اصْطَفٰی َّ لَم ُ عَلٰی عِبَادِہ ِ ال َّ اَلْحَمْد ُ لِلّٰہ ِ وَالس ذِیْن َ اصْطَفٰی َّ لَم ُ عَلٰی عِبَادِہ ِ ال َّ اَلْحَمْد ُ لِلّٰہ ِ وَالس After this let it be clear that since Padre Fateh Masih, currently stationed at Fate h garh, District Gurdaspur, sent me an extremely filthy letter wherein he falsely accused our lord and master, Muhammad, the Chosen One, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, of adultery, and also employed numerous derogatory and abusive words, it was, therefore, deemed appropriate to pub- lish a rejoinder to his letter. Accordingly, this journal was written. It is hoped that Christian clergymen will read it carefully without feeling offended by its words as this entire style is the consequence of Mr. Fateh Masih’s sordid language and overly vulgar invectives. Nonetheless, I do have regard for the hallowed status of the Messiah, peace be upon him. It is only in retaliation 1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. [Publisher] 2. All praise belongs to Allah, and peace be upon His chosen servants. [Publisher]
