A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 87 ] Anyone claiming to be a Prophet after the Holy Prophet sa was invariably considered a liar and apostate. It was not considered necessary to have discussions with or engage such a person in debate. This is proof that Mirz a Sahib was an impostor [God forbid]. ( Qadiyaniyyat—Islam kei liye eik Sang i n Kha t rah [ Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam ,] p. 24–25) Continuing further, they write: During the last fourteen hundred years Kh a taman- Nabiyy i n has universally been interpreted by Muslims to mean that the Holy Prophet sa was the last Prophet and that there would be no Prophet after him. It was because of this unshakable faith that the Muslim ummah vigorously opposed anyone who made a claim to prophethood and never forgave him. ( Ibid. ) According to them, because claimants to prophethood have been opposed, no Prophet can come and that the Promised Messiah as (God forbid) was an impostor. They put forth arguments based on strange logic and based on a short period of history. A review of the entire history would change their assertion: from the time of Adam as to the time of the Holy Prophet [Mu h ammad] sa and even after him, all claimants to prophethood have been opposed, persecuted and laughed at; in particular, all true Prophets have been opposed and persecuted.
