123 "A perusal of Zahiruddin’s book has given me a mixed feeling of regret and disappointment. Regret, because the said gentleman has apparently taken 'the road to Turkistan, thinking that he was going to the Kaaba'; and disappointment, because I fail to discover in the book any evidence of scholarship or any new information which might prove of advantage to the Ahmadiyya Movement or to Islam; or if there is any, it is at any rate too deep to be perceived by a man of my understanding and attainments. " He continues, "I would respectfully request members of the Movement, who are given to public writing, to bestow on the bills of Zahiruddin the same amount of attention which they have been devoting to Abdullah and Yar Muhammad. " ( Al-Haq , May 30th and June 7th, 1913), From the above extracts it is clear that apart from dismissing Zahiruddin’s doctrines with contempt, the only notice taken by the Community of those writings was to leave them severely alone, and this has been ever since the attitude of the Community towards writings of this kind.
