But, it is rather sad that Abdul Hafeez is so blinded by his prejudice that he fails to see what opinions scholars of such high repute as mentioned above expressed in relation to Hadhrat. Ahmad's as vast knowledge and scholarship, deep understanding of and mastery over religious literature, intellectual dexterity to use this with great finesse, natural ability and proficiency in languages and great authorship. . But then, it is traditionally true of the disbelievers to deny credit where it is due and this has been done numerously in history. Hadhrat Ahmadas was a mortal being and what does it matter if people like Abdul Hafeez deny his scholastic abilities and his great exposition of Islam and its teachings? The author of Two in One has to only look into history and he may yet find that the disbelievers in the prophethood of Hadhrat. Muhammadsa and the enemies of Islam have not spared, even,. God Almighty. Hence, people like H. G. Wells have stated in relation to the pure Word of Allah - the Holy Quran that, God forbid, 'regarded as literature or philosophy the Koran is certainly unworthy of its alleged Divine authorship. 1238. Abdul Hafeez may continue to minimise Hadhrat Ahmad's as achievements in the scholastic field but history records that he was a unique scholar, such in whom history itself takes pride and who cannot be replaced. And, to finally bring our discussion on this issue to a close, one leaves the author of Two in One to ponder over the words of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad in relation to Hadhrat Ahmad's as achievements in life. The. Maulana declared: 'Such people who produce a religious or intellectual revolution are not born often. These sons of history in whom it rightly takes pride appear but rarely on the world scene and when they do, they bring about a revolution for all to see. ' 1239. But how can the likes of Abdul Hafeez, who are already blinded, see this revolution which Hadhrat Ahmadas brought? 238. Wells, H. G. A Short History of the World, p. 165 239.
