If you cannot become either, you are going outside the pale of faith, because according to this verse a believer must belong to one of these two conditions. The Mull a h Devoid of Understanding the Holy Qur’an The fact remains that these antagonists have neither an insight into the inner meaning of the Holy Qur’an, nor do they have an understanding of the teachings and sunnah [practices] of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa.

Had they paid attention to all these matters, they would never have dared to make such an attack. Once when talking to one of our opponent maulav i s , I placed these verses before him and said: Please, pause and ponder. You are belittling the Promised Messiah as by asking me to explain how the conception took place, how the child assumed a form and how many months did it take for the child to be born, and what pangs was the Promised Messiah made to suffer.
