Their Ulema — Page 20
[ 20 ] According to Maud u d i , the Muslim Nation is Born of Ignorance Now listen to what Maula vi Maud u d i says: Go to the city, and you will see ‘Muslim prostitutes’ sitting in brothels and ‘Muslim adulterous men’ wan- dering around. Examine the prisons and you will be introduced to ‘Muslim thieves’, ‘Muslim robbers’, and ‘Muslim rascals’. Visit offices and courts and you will find the word Muslim attached to bribery, false testi- mony, forgery, fraud, extortion, and every other kind of moral crime. In society, you will meet ‘Muslim drunkards’, ‘Muslim gamblers’, ‘Muslim musicians’, ‘Muslim singers’, and ‘Muslim slapstick comedians’. Now, think about this: how much has the word Muslim been perverted and with what characters has it been attached—Muslim adulterer, drunkard, gam- bler, bribe-taker. If a Muslim does whatever a disbe- liever can do, what is the need for a Muslim in this world? ( Musalman Aur Mauj u dah Siy a s i Kashmakash [ Muslims and Current Political Struggle ], part 3, p. 28– 29, under the caption, ‘Ta h r i k-e-Isl a m i k a Tanuzzul’, [The Decline of Islamic Movement]) Those who object to the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a ‘at should read and ponder over this passage. Why have they no fear of Allah? Indeed, they fear, but they only fear the victory of the Jam a ‘at.
