Teachers, Students and Books 153 Fasl-ul-Khitaab on Ahle Kitaab On the direction of his master, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as , who had suggested that the best way to do mujaahadah was to engage in writing, he took up the writing of this book in order to deal with the rising Christian attacks on Islam and on Muhammad sa , the teachings and the issue of Jihad. This book is remarkable in the sense that he wrote it in very good Urdu and in a facile way tackled age-old questions and forcefully repelled the Christian attacks on Islam and on the noble personage of Muhammad sa. This book is in four volumes and only two were published. Hakeem Sahib took up one particular Christian attack that Muslims convert people by force. Rejecting this allegation, Hakeem Sahib writes in his book Fasl-ul-Khitaab (p. 95): The opponents of Islam make a false allegation. The basic requirement of a Muslim is to become a Muslim through ingraining in himself the love and the Unity of God and love and trust in the prophethood of Muhammad sa and belief in the Day of Judgment. How can a Muslim entertain such a belief if he is converted on the point of the sword and yet entertain these beliefs with all sincerity, especially in the face of the clear Qur ’ anic verse "There is no compulsion in matters of religion" (Chapter 2, Verse 257). This verse clearly negates the allegation of the Christians. Notwithstanding the fact that the subject matter is deeply religious, his style and the manner of expression is so easy and simple that one is fascinated by the charm and the beauty of its language. This book was published in Delhi in 1888 and is in very easy Urdu. Tasdeeq-i-Braaheen-i-Ahmadiyya
