50 A critical Review of the Pamphlet—‘f a te h -e-Qadian’ Empty Boasts of Victory Let’s ponder over it with a sense of fairness. The Promised Messiah as wrote twenty-two books in eloquent Arabic as well as several announcements in Arabic. P i r Meher ‘Al i Sh a h continued to brag: If we wished, we could cetainly utter the like of this. 26 Yet, despite living a long life, and having much free time, P i r Meher ‘Al i was unable to write even a few pages of commentary on the Holy Quran in Arabic. Because of the cunningness of P i r Meher ‘Al i , from beginning to end, and his excuses of running away, his helplessness and defeat was the talk of the town. This was the reason which led some of his close disciples to accept the truth and they joined the Ahmadiyya Community. Moreover, as the people, rather very respectable people, demanded that P i r Meher ‘Al i write the commentary, his helplessness became all the more evident. For instance Maulav i Fai d Ahmad Fai d of J a mi‘ah Ghosia 27 of Golrha wrote: On the insistence of Hadrat D i v a n Syed Muhammad of Pakpatan, once Hadrat [P i r Meher ‘Al i]. . . thought of writing a commentary of the Holy Quran, but thereafter he excused himself by telling 26 S u rah al-Anf a l 8:32 [Publishers] 27 He was a teacher in J a ‘miah Ghosia in P i r Meher ‘Al i ’s native town, Golrha.
