A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 13 ] Allah the Almighty also says: 6 According to the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a ‘at, the word nuz u l is used for things that are of extraordinary benefit; thus, the translation of the word nuz u l in the context of iron as the physical descent of iron is not correct, because iron is mined from the earth. Rather, it is meant that God Almighty has placed enormous benefits for mankind in the use of iron, and hence the word nuz u l is used for it. According to our critics, the ‘not ridiculous’ meaning would be the following: ‘We sent Messengers with manifest Signs and We sent Books with them just as hailstorms descend from the sky. Whenever I ordained a Prophet or Prophets, then did you not see the ready-made books also falling from the sky? We made books to fall physically so that you may establish justice. You express surprise at this; don’t you see that we throw iron from the sky and often you run to take shelter 6. Verily, we sent Our Messengers with manifest Signs and sent down ( anzaln a ) with them the Book and the Balance that people may act with justice; and We sent down iron, wherein is material for violent warfare and many benefits for mankind, and that Allah may distinguish those who help Him and His Messengers, without having seen Him. Surely, Allah is Power- ful, Mighty. ( al- H ad i d , 57:26)
