Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement but rather borrowed from the hostile literature previously produced by his predecessors who copied from their predecessors. This is proven, amongst others, by the fact that the letter which Abdul Hafeez allegedly quotes 169. Materia Medica of Pharmaceutical Combinations and Specialities, p. 197 170.
