A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 37
Matchlessness of I‘J A ZUL-MAS IH 37 instead of being written in Arabic according to the terms laid out in the challenge, was written in Urdu. Rather than being a commentary, it contained nothing but baseless objections and criticisms of the two books, I‘j a zul-Mas ih and Shams-e-B a zighah. It shows that neither did P i r Meher ‘Al i accept the challenge to write the Arabic commentary face-to-face in order to prove his scholarship and miraculous powers, nor did he discharge this duty even after such a long time. Instead, he firmly established his own helplessness. Not only did it prove the P i r’s inability to write a commentary, but it also manifested, once again, a powerful sign of the truth of the Divine revelation vouchsafed to the Promised Messiah as : The Forbidder has forbidden him from heaven. 18 The P i r also put a stamp on the truth on what the Promised Messiah had stated: He who, being incensed, sets out to write a reply, will soon find that he is filled with remorse and has come to a sorry end. 18 Ibid.
