Their Ulema — Page 16
[ 16 ] Scattered Sheep A famous newspaper of the Muslim clergy, al-Jam‘iyyah, of Delhi in its April 14, 1926 issue writes: Suddenly, it has been exposed to the world that if the Muslim ummah is a bound book or a rosary, then today the Muslim ummah in reality does not exist. Rather they are scattered pages, a few strewn beads, or lost sheep without a flock or shepard. ( al- Jam‘iyyah , April 14, 1926) In the Footsteps of ‘ A d and Tahm u d Addressing Indian Muslims on behalf of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , the Zam in d a r newspaper , in its September 18, 1925 issue states: You are called my ummah , yet you behave like Jews and idolaters. Your conduct is becoming like that of ‘ A ’d and Thamud, in that abandoning the Lord of all the worlds, you are worshiping Ba‘l, Yagh u th, Nasr a , and Ya‘ u q. Most of you insult me [the Holy Prophet]. Now, the real question is: Did the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a ‘at begin this chain of events? Why do these people not fear Allah? Why do they make such allegations and lies which no sane person can ever accept?
