HAZRAT MAULANA JALAL-UD-DIN SHAMS RA 99 In this verse the words ٌ سٰحٌِ کَذَّاب * that the wicked disbelievers used with regards to the Holy Prophet s as encompass a limitless number of defects and shortcomings. Specifically, the verse ْ فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِیْکُم [I have lived amongst you] expresses the truthfulness of the Holy Prophet s as. The disbelievers, who used to call him Siddeeq [the Truthful] and Ameen [the Trustworthy], after his claim, began to call him—God forbid—a liar. Thus from this point of view, what is worthy of pondering over is what the opinion of the deniers of Khilafat concerning Hazrat Musleh Mauood aba was, before differences arose and [at such a time] what they understood and disclosed regarding the purity and holiness of Huzoor aba. In order to clarify these matters, a few quotes are presented. In 1906 the former chief of those who rejected Khilafat, declaring his [Hazrat Musleh Mauood’s] sympathy and assistance for Islam to be extraordinary, wrote: ‘Those dark-hearted people who declare Mirza Sahib to be a liar should answer that if he be an imposter, then where did such true passion, which is found within the heart of this child, come from? Falsehood is a filth, hence, it should have reflected thus, not that he became so blessed and enlightened that there is none like him. ’ 117 The late Maulawi Muhammad Ahsan Amrohi even made the declaration in 1911 that he is indeed the fulfilment of the revelation * Translation: ‘A magician, a great liar. ’ [Translator]
