THE FOUR POINT CHALLENGE. In the first of his four point Mubahala challenge issued by. Abdul Hafeez, he demands that: 'if the first 40 years of the life of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam. Ahmadas resembles any Prophet then Ahmadi Muslims ought to prove this in writing. 131. In making such a demand, the author of this grotesque publication has demonstrated that he does not understand the. Holy Quran at all or else he would have known that a. Mubahala is engaged into only after all avenues to reconcile differences between two parties have been exhausted and there is absolutely no prospect of the dispute being brought to an amicable conclusion through human efforts. Hence, to make such a demand at this late stage after an invitation to Mubahala has been issued or one engaged into is rather naive. . Secondly, a Mubahala challenge is issued on the command of. Allah on behalf of the claimant to those who reject his claims and not to him and the ultimate judgement is left to Him to demonstrate the truthfulness of either party. If, at this stage, either of the party is required to provide evidence of its truthfulness, then the entire exercise of entering into a Mubahala contest would become superficial and there would be absolutely no point whatsoever in referring the dispute to the Court of. Allah. . Alas! if this petty pir of Gujjo had a better understanding of the. Holy Quran and the philosophy behind the need to engage in a Mubahala contest, he would not have made such naive demands. However, since he has demanded proof of the righteous life of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, one shall oblige him and leave it to his honesty and Islamic sense of justice, if he has any, to judge how far it fell within the expectations of the life of any prophet. 31.
