Introduction xxiii satisfy himself on this account by putting me to the test. ( see p. 188) No one took up that challenge, as he says in one of his Urdu couplets: � ی ا رہ دنچ آ زامشئ ےک ےئلوکیئ ہن آ رہ اخمفل وک اقملب ہپ الُب� ی ا مہ ےن No one came for a trial, even though, I challenged every opponent to compete.

This very success is also proof of the Holy Prophet’s own truthfulness. The Promised Messiah as says: Think about it: a poor, lonely, and humble person announced the spread of his faith and the establishment of his religion at a time when he had nothing with him except a few devotees without any means; and all the Muslims could fit in one small room and their names could be counted on one’s fingers, and a handful of villagers could have done away with them. The ene- mies they faced were the kings and rulers of the world; and the nations they had to deal with were made up of tens of millions who were unanimous in their determination to destroy and annihilate them. But now look around the entire globe at how God has spread the same few weak people in the world, and how He bestowed on them power, wealth, and kingdom, and how they were bestowed the crowns and thrones that had been occupied by others for thousands of years.
