be to be identified with either of the only other two categories of human beings known to the Holy Quran and be named after either of them. The Holy Quran states: 'God sets forth for an example to the unbelievers the wife of. Noah and the wife of Lut: They were [respectively] under two of our righteous Servants, but they were false to their [husbands], and they profited nothing before God on their account but were told: Enter ye the Fire along with [others] that enter. ". Once again, one leaves the choice to the author of Two in One to decide which of the four categories of human beings known to the Quran he would prefer to be identified with and named after. If he considers being named after any four of these women as a ridiculous idea, then he would be suggesting that he is not a human being at all since the Holy Quran does not know of a fifth category of the human species. In that event, may one enquire of Abdul Hafeez as to what is he, if he is not a human being?. The second point which one should note in the citation of. Hadhrat Ahmad's as statement contained in Two in One is that he never claimed to have been made Mary as alleged by Abdul. Hafeez but that he was developed for two years with the qualities of. Mary. Although a proper translation of Hadhrat Ahmad's as original statement would have been that 'he was nurtured in the qualities of Mary for two years,' yet, even if one was to accept this linguistically poor translation in the hostile publication, one cannot see what could be so objectionable and ridiculous in being developed as a person for two years with the qualities of. Hadhrat Maryas. . This statement by Hadhrat Ahmad as indicates that for a period of as much as two years, he spent his life being invested with the qualities possessed by Hadhrat Maryas, the most prominent of these being her sense of dependence upon the Gracious God, 5.
