Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 182
interpolation, he himself falls victim to the snare quoted by him to the effect that 'self contradiction is a necessary characteristic of a liar' 54 It is hence not surprising that he indulges in a long drawn out discussion on the traditional rules of English grammar, hoping to confuse the entire issue and hence in some way or the other justify Baihaqui's involuntary interpolation. 55. It is rather amusing to note that whenever these contentious mullahs find themselves exhausted of all rational and logical avenues of argument, they readily confer upon themselves a Doctrate of Letters in. English language and begin to be involved in some fatuous discussions on the rules of English grammar. Ehsan Ellah Zaheer also takes recourse to this habitual folly of the contentious mullahs and indulges in a long discussion on the rules of English grammar. He for instance justifies. Baihaqui's unintentional interpolation of the word sky on the grounds of what he terms as 'syntactical harmony, linguistic compatibility and logical synchronicity. ' He states that there: 'is absolute linguistic compatibility and logical synchronicity between sky and descend. There is also syntactical harmony between the two words, as they form one of the most fundamental grammatical colligation in English language: the immediate juxta position of a noun and a verb. ' '56. Ehsan Ellah Zaheer's choice of exotic words and his display of bombastic style sounds quite impressive since the rest of his book leaves a marked impression not only of his vulgar disposition but also an exceptionally slender command of literary English. However, without involving one's self in a long drawn out debate on the merits of this self professed pseudo scholar's discussion of the rules of traditional English grammar, he needs to be reminded that his argument may have held, had the original Tradition been initially communicated or recorded in English. But, since the Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammed. Mustapha, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, spoke Arabic and the works of Bukhari and Muslim which Zaheer admits were the source material for other Traditionalists 57 were also recorded in Arabic, 54.
