work Arba'een contains a colossal amount of biographical data on the life of the author and so does the publication Silsala. Ahmadiyya. In fact, it is most likely that had Abdul Hafeez ever requested these publications, these may have even been sent to him as did the Press and Publication Desk at London send him. Durre Thamin2, the receipt of which he acknowledged in the course of his grotesque publication. ²². Abdul Hafeez's sly insinuation that Ahmadi Muslims have, for some reason or the other, failed to produce biographical material on the life of Hadhrat Ahmadas is proved false by his own contorted citation of passages from Hadhrat Mirza Bashir. Ahmad's Seerat al Mahdi 23 which is a comprehensive biographical record of Hadhrat Ahmad's as life. The fact is that this blatant lie is yet another ploy by the author of Two in One to hide his true motivation. This is indicated by, on one hand, his pretentious request for a biography of the life of Hadhrat. Ahmadas so that he is able to determine as to who Hadhrat. Ahmadas was 24 while on the other, when he is advised to read the history of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement, he considers such advice unnecessary. 25 Yet, he has the audacity to allegedly, 'reiterate his point of view and tell Ahmadi Muslims that all his correspondence is solely for the sake of Allah. 126. The only reason why the author of Two in One should utter such a blatant lie becomes quite evident when one reads the pages which follow this sly insinuation. In these pages, he proceeds to direct some personal attacks against Hadhrat Mirza. Ghulam Ahmadas with edited citations under the pretext that in the absence of any biographical work, the writings of Hadhrat. Ahmadas speak of his life. " Incidentally, while he subtitles this section of his book as 'Mirza's writings speak of his Life, 128 suggesting that these citations are from Hadhrat Ahmad's as works, he also quotes from such publications which are not the works of Hadhrat Ahmadas 29 This should in itself indicate the extent of the inveracity of Abdul Hafeez. 27 21.
