69 that the Masih Ibni Maryam to come would be a Nabi ? Was it M. Zahiruddin who put these words into the mouth of the Holy Prophet? Were the words— revealed to the Promised Messiah as —'A Nabi came to the world but the world accepted him not, etc. etc' revealed to him by God or by M. Zahiruddin? To attribute these words to a person as ignorant, benighted and full of self-conceit as M. Zahiruddin is nothing less than a blasphemy against the Divine words and against the Holy Prophet sa. I may even ask—Was there any Ahmadi present with the Holy Prophet sa when he declared the Nubuwwat of the Promised Messiah as ? Moreover, let us all remember that long before the publication of Zahiruddin’s book I had announced the prophethood of the Promised Messiah as. If Zahiruddin was really the originator of the doctrine I may well inquire—how was it that full five years before the publication of this book, and during the lifetime of the Promised Messiah as , I could describe the Promised Messiah as as a Nabi , in my writings? How was it that Maulawi Muhammad Ali himself could commend those writings of mine which contained open reference to the prophethood of the Promised Messiah as and even cite them in proof of the truth of the Promised Messiah as.
