HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD أَرَاكُمْ كَذَاتِ الْحَيْضِ لَا مِثْلَ طَاهِرٍ تَطِيبُ وَمِنْ مَّاءِ الْعَذَابَةِ تَطْهَرُ I consider you a woman who is menstruating and has not yet purified herself; And has not applied perfume after the purification. حَسِبْتُمْ حُسَيْنًا أَكْرَمَ النَّاسِ فِي الْوَرَى وَ أَفْضَلَ مَا فَطْرَ الْقَدِيرُ وَيَفْطُرُ You have believed Husain to be better than the entire creation, And all those whom God has created. كَأَنَّ امْرَءًا فِي النَّاسِ مَا كَانَ غَيْرُهُ وَطَهَّرَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَالْغَيْرُ يَفْجُرُ As if he was the only person whom God purified, And others are all impure. وَهَذَا هُوَ الْقَوْلُ الَّذِي فِي ابْنِ مَرْيَمٍ يَقُولُ النَّصَارَى أَيُّهَا الْمُتَنَصِّرُ This would be like the statement issued by the Christians regarding Īsā [Jesus], O ye who are so similar to the Christians! فَيَا عَجَبًا كَيْفَ الْقُلُوبُ تَشَابَهَتْ فَكَادَ السَّمَا مِنْ قَوْلِكُمْ تَتَفَطَّرُ I find it amazing how the hearts of these two groups have come to bear such striking resemblance; Indeed, the heavens may well-nigh rend asunder because of what they say. أَتُطْرِءُ عَبْدًا مِّثْلَ عِيسَى وَتَنْحِتُ لَهُ رُتْبَةً كَالْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَتَهْدُرُ Would you, like you do in relation to Īsā, lavish such exagger- ated praise on a servant? Would you declare him to be equal to the Prophets? 128
