It is deplorable that some contemporary ulema, out of their wanton desire to arouse hostility, have brought the allegation of interpolation in the Holy Quran against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at. In this respect they have gleaned some verses of the Holy Quran which were quoted in various books in the Ahmadiyya literature but which, unfortunately, contained some printing errors. By presenting the aforesaid instances they have made a regrettable attempt to show that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at has (God forbid) been guilty of interpolation in the Holy Quran. But they conveniently forget that the kind of printing errors on the basis of which they have alleged interpolation against us, is found in the books of nearly every author. In various issues of Al-Fazl, an organ of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, instances have been presented with reference to the books published by the following ulema which contain verses of the Holy Quran in which such printing errors do exist: ¾ 1. Sayyed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari. [Khutubaat Ameer- e-Sharee'at, published by Maktabah Tabsirah, Lahore] ¾ 2. Maulana Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi. [Al-Malfooz, Part I] ¾ 3. Mufti-e-A'azam Deoband, Maulvi Aziz-ur-Rahman Deobandi. [ Fataawa , Darul Uloom Deoband, vol. 5] ¾ 4. Imam-ul-Hind Maulana Abul Kalaam Azad. [Mazameen Al-Balaagh; published by Aa'eena-e-Adab, Chowk Meenar, Anarkali, Lahore] ¾ 5. Allamah Maulana Sayyed Muhammad Sulaiman Nadvi. [Weekly Al-E'atesaam, Lahore] ¾ 6. Hasan-ul-Banna, Leader of the Ikhwan Movement
