Truth About the Split — Page 137
137 whether the Promised Messiah as was a Nabi or a not- Nabi. A claim like that could be made about every claimant and every truth. I do not claim to be a Nabi , but a proposition like the one put forward by Maulawi Muhammad Ali, can, without breach of propriety, be made even about me. It can be said that those who do not accept me are my deniers. It is only the doctrine of Kufr , which could have been derived from the doctrine of Nubuwwat of the Promised Messiah as. Thus, it is evident from the writings of Maulawi Muhammad Ali himself that the subject I had stressed in my article was the Kufr of those who did not accept the Promised Messiah as. This article of mine was read by Khalifatul Masih I ra , from beginning to end and was approved by him for publication. The following events prove the point. The reason why in March 1911, I wrote an article on the subject of the Kufr of those who did not accept the Promised Messiah as , was that at that time some Ahmadis, under the influence of non-Ahmadis, had begun to write in some non-Ahmadi papers that there was no material difference between Ahmadis and non-Ahmadis, both being Muslims. I was afraid lest this erroneous view should find currency in the Ahmadiyya Community.
