Ahmadis and the Aryas of Qadian — Page 58
58 We found the summary of the Vedas to be Niyoga, According to the holy books this is the only good deed. The women who cannot conceive [a boy] through her husband, According to the Vedas it [Niyoga] is obligatory on her. When this is the prescription what choice does she have? Until eleven boys are not born this is the path to follow. Strange are the traits of Ishar [God] in the Vedas, O dear ones! He does not possess affection, this is what we have heard. After granting forgiveness and salvation he snatches it from everyone, How can he be gracious if this is what he offers? He has become Ishar by name only; he is not the creator, If souls are eternal then why should he be god? If souls did not exist; Ishar would not have been able to create anything, This is the foundation of his lordship. He would have looked to them for everything he desires, As if they are kings and he is the beggar. The summary of the Vedas of the Aryas is this god, That which they rely upon is this helpless one. O Aryas! Pray speak now—are such the traits of God? Is this, Pray tell, in whom you pride so much?
