A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 19 ] The faith that arose with majesty from its birth- place, is today in a state of utter destitution elsewhere. The religion that once invited Caesar and Chosroes is now itself poorest of the poor. The faith that once illuminated the assemblies of the world now has neither lamp nor light in its own assembly. Conditions have deteriorated such that mending does no good. It appears that this is preordained. Oh Protector of the Ship of Islam, I beseech Thee that this ship is well nigh destroyed. The White Paper is extensively adorned with the writings of ‘All a mah Iqb a l. If you (O enemies of Ahmadiyyat!) think his words are like that of God, then listen to this piece as well. About the Muslims, he writes: You [the Muslims] are Christians in appearance and Hindus in culture. Even the Jews feel ashamed when compared to these Muslims. Referring to ‘All a mah Iqb a l, you make great claims against Ahmadiyyat, and proudly present his quotes as if Allah, the Almighty, had revealed these words to someone. But you must also pay attention to what ‘All a mah Iqb a l had to say about you!
