( 128 ) given in Khilafat-i-Ahmadiyya , page 17. was that the Promised Messiah had himself written “And after me, there would be other personalities who would be manifesters of the Qudrat-i-Thania. ” So we perceive here, beyond any shadow of doubt that Qudrat-i-Thania cannot be interpreted as the combined will and purpose of a body of men, in the sense of a democratic purpose. Basically, and essentially, the repositories of the will and purpose are individual bearers of fundamental qualities indispensible for the role, with respect to which point, the Promised Messiah himself had written that they would be the Khalifas (page 17). In another tract, “Izharul Haq II ”, thirty holes where picked in the Khilafat of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I. The reply to this was “ lzhar-i-Haqiqat ”, which said, among other things, that these were the plots and conspiracies beginning to be hatched against the Institution of Khilafat, in the days of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I himself. At that time Maulvi Mohammad Ali had disliked this stuff published in the Paigham-i-Sulha ; and he had written that it contained expressions derogatory for the eminent position of the Khalifa.

On all occasions, he entrusted matters to the consultation and emergent view of competent friends. ” So the position of Maulvi Mohammad Ali himself, on points and affairs involved was that in regard to the authority and control of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I, was such that no one could dream of denial and disobedience (vide Zamima Khilafat-i-Ahmadiyya , page 17). It is also interesting to note here that in regard to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I, the author of “Izharul Haq ”, had the insolence to write: “For Maulvi Nuruddin I have respect in my heart. But it is regrettable that a moahadd (one who does not tolerate infringement of the Unity of God) of his stature, full in the teeth of the teachings of his Imam, in a capable Community, he is sowing the seed of the worship of Pirs. ” (Tract entitled ‘ Ba’z Khas Karname ’, by Hazrat Maulvi Mohammad Ismail) Note : The tract entitled ‘ Ba’z Khas Karname ’ bears the entire text of ‘ Izharul Haq ’. (The above passage we have taken for reproduction). This same also happens to be the objection which our friends of the Lahore Section repeat time after time against the Qadian (now Rabwah) Section. In ‘ Izharul Haq ’ No. 2, we read:
