UNDATED 517 A Rebuking Reply Once, Mufti Muhammad Sa diq was reading the booklet Begunah i Mas ih [i. e. ‘The Sinless Christ’] to a group sitting with the Promised Messiah as. At one point in the booklet, the author attacked the pure character of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, simply because the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had gotten married. The Promised Messiah as said: Alas, these people make such absurd objections of which no right-minded person can approve. By saying such things, these people are asking for a rebuke. If they had only considered, before raising this objection, that while they claim the life of a person who associated with women of disrepute and who were not related to him to be immaculate and the life of God, and yet they criticize one who married someone lawfully? Is this not shameful? He should read the Gospel for himself and also consider the blessings of the Atonement that Europe has inher- ited as its moral impact; only then should he open his mouth to criticize Islam. One with so much filth in his house should feel embarrassed. 1 1. Al- H akam, vol. 9, no. 19, p. 9, dated 31 May 1905
