Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 208 The Death of Lekh Ram It was mentioned that an A rya said that they believe in reincarnation, so no one dies among them, and that Lekh Ram is alive and not dead. The Promised Messiah as said: When Lekh Ram himself initiated the mub a halah [prayer duel], he sought [Divine] judgment by presenting the Vedas before his Parmeshwar so that a verdict between the truthful and the liar could be reached. He had prophesied about me that Mirza Sahib would die within three years, and I had prophe- sied after receiving revelation from God that he would perish within six years. So, when he died as a result of this mub a halah and personally testified through his death that Islam is true and the Vedas are false, then what does it mean to say he is alive now? Anyhow, even if reincarnation is indeed true, in spite of that, does anyone know what body of an insect or grazing ani- mal or quadruped he is [trapped] in, or what punishment and pain has seized him? The Status of the Vedas The Promised Messiah as said: It is a surprise as to why the Aryas are so fond of the Vedas. They contain neither any miracle or Sign, nor any sublime teaching; nay, rather these people have not seen it. They have not read it. Their greatest pundits are bereft of its understanding because, firstly, Sanskrit itself is a dead language. Then, the Sanskrit of the Vedas is of even greater rarity. Despite this level of igno- rance, these people show such brazen audacity, failing to realise that insolence does not bode well. Its end is evil. A man perishes through his audacity.
