GOD'S RESPONSE TO RESPECTIVE PRAYERS. It is rather interesting to note that Abdul Hafeez appends a prayer to his four point challenge invoking humiliating death to the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community 119 but while his prayer remains unanswered, the true liars and slanderers have been more than exposed as a consequence of. Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad's ay prayer in the wake of the. Mubahala challenge. For instance, one of the grave charges which the opponents of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community persistently levied against it was that 'Ahmadi Muslims had kidnapped Maulvi Aslam Qureshi and were holding him against his will. 120 Maulvi Manzoor Chinioti, the principal perpetrator of this lie was so insistent in his allegation that he announced his readiness to face a firing squad if Aslam Qureshi was not recovered from the custody of Ahmadi Muslim. 121 In another statement, Maulvi Chinioti is said to have declared that if Aslam Qureshi is ever found, suggesting that he had been murdered, he would hang himself to death. 122. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community had repeatedly denied charges of involvement in the disappearance of Aslam Qureshi and this allegation was made an integral part of the Mubahala challenge. 123 All praise belongs to Allah! Within a month of the challenge, God gave the first sign of His judgement against the opponents of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community when a person who had been missing for five years and whose disappearance had occasioned repeated allegations of his kidnapping and subsequent murder by Hadhrat Mirza Tahir. Ahmaday suddenly appeared in Pakistan. He presented himself to the Inspector General of Police and also appeared on Pakistan. Television to deny any Ahmadiyya Muslim involvement in his disappearance 124 and in his statement to the Pakistani media, 119. Ibid. , p. 19 120. Chinioti, Maulvi Manzoor. vide.
