A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 15 ] your writings, then by God, our God is different from yours. It is shocking to see how many stories have been fabricated to belittle the Divinity of God in order to associate man with his Creator. In a fable relating the miracles of Hadrat Sayyed Abdul Qadir Jilani rta , there is a story of his recovering a boat full of people that had drowned in a river twelve years ago. A well known Barelw i book, Guldasta-e-Kar a m a t , tells the story of an old woman who was traveling with her only son’s wedding procession. While crossing a river, their boat sank and she lost her son. The old woman kept returning to the river regularly, with the excuse of fetching water, to mourn the loss of her son for twelve years. One day, Hadrat Abdul Qadir Jilani rta saw her and enquired about her grief. The old woman told him about her loss and he replied, ‘No problem. ’ Then he focused his attention to the river and retrieved the boat that had sunk twelve years ago. All the drowned people, including the bride and groom, disembarked the boat happily. (See Guldasta-e-Kar a m a t , pp. 21–22, published in 1861 CE (1377 AH), written by Mufti Ghul a m Sarwar. ) This is their concept of God! They make human beings partners in the divinity by ascribing to them the power of bringing the dead—even those who died twelve years back—to life.
