Where does this Quranic verse specify the time and the place for a Mubahala contest? In case Abdul Hafeez wishes to argue that Ahmadi Muslims have expunged mention of time and the place from within the text of this passage, one would advise him that the above translation of the Quranic verse has been quoted from Marmaduke Pickthall's translation of the Quran published by a non Ahmadiyya Muslim publishing house, the.
