26 A Review of the Booklet ‘ Fai s lah A p Kare in ’—Judge for Yourself glory is being manifested more than ever before. No other person is mentioned in this couplet; in fact, the final couplet of this poem is: That is, Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as has attained the status of the Promised Messiah as a consequence of his complete submission to, and perfect followership of, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. ( Al-Fazl , Aug. 13, 1944) It is clear from the aforementioned explanation that this interpretation does not merit criticism. If someone insists that this interpretation has been fabricated by the writer, and the verse actually carries its literal meaning—which is what B a w a Sahib alleges—then it is his right to do so. But no one can deny the verity that among the knowledgeable, the interpretation that is provided by the poet is considered to be the most reliable. If someone disregards this principle, then he is free to attribute his own meaning to Akmal Sahib’s poem and curse him; but the said belief can never be associated with that of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. We proclaim once more: if the meaning attributed by B a w a Sahib is indeed true, then this couplet is worthy of immense criticism and censure. However, the Ahmadiyya Community can never be made the target of such criticism.
