A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 49
Matchlessness of I‘J A ZUL-MAS IH 49 to publish it. In future you or Maulav i Ghul a m Muhammad may have to take the trouble of doing the same. The Promised Messiah as included all this correspondence in his book Nuz u lul-Mas ih , which was published during the lifetime of P i r Meher ‘Al i. In the same book, the Promised Messiah as also gave a crushing reply to the objections which were raised by the book, Saif-e-Chishtiy a ’ i. P i r Meher ‘Al i had alleged that some excerpts from others included in that book constituted plagiarism. Ironically, the secret striving which the P i r undertook to steal material — so that he could declare Saif-e-Chishtiy a ’ i his own book — was divulged to the public. P i r Meher ‘Al i was caught red- handed. The books of Maulav i Muhammad H asan containing his hand-written notes reached Qadian. Comparing these notes with Saif-e-Chishtiy a ’ i , everyone witnessed that P i r Meher ‘Al i had decidedly plagiarized the writings of a dead man. This was the shameful defeat which the special decree of God had destined for P i r Meher ‘Al i. This way, his contest with a man commissioned by God, who was the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, uncovered his true state of lowliness as depicted by his own line of poetry: What is worth of Meher ‘Ali to do justice to Your homage? O!, the one possessing crude vision, who are you meddling with!
