precarious time when Islam stood at the crossroads with the foundation of Islamic life and society shaken and when Muslims were generally in the grip of frustration and despair and their minds seriously in grip of confusion and perplexity because they had fallen prey to defeatism, Hadhrat Ahmadas arrived on the scene with his unique message and movement. 127 It has also been proven that according to these Muslim scholars, Hadhrat. Ahmadas appeared in the front line of the devotees of Islam 128 and stood in the field like a brave lion 129 to champion the cause of Islam. 130 He proved to be a cutting sword against false religions 131 and shattered the foul criticism of the opponents of. Islam and silenced them for ever. 132 He also smashed to bits the influence of Christianity and put its clergy to flight 133 and routed the Christians. He blew the talisman of Christianity to smoke while at the same time, crushed the poisonous fangs of. Hinduism. 134 Hence, he was acclaimed as a resolute defender of. Islam 135; a great fighter for Islam 136; a victorious general 137; a brave lion 138; an illustrious general and pride of Muslims as well as an accepted one of God. 139 These tributes to Hadhrat Ahmadas by the non Ahmadiyya Muslim intelligentsia are a fulfilment of the revelation vouchsafed unto him which Abdul Hafeez considers an evidence of imbecility. Hence, it is a proof of. Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's as truthfulness since what was revealed unto him by God was also fulfilled by His grace. 127. Nadwi, S. Abul Hasan Ali. Qadianism, pp. 4/5 128.
