Then, on another occasion, Maulvi Sahib made a similar request again to the Promised Messiah as. His Holiness said: “Write a book in refutation of the Arya Samaj. ” It was then that Maulvi Sahib wrote his book Tasdiq Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah and he said: “Through both of these efforts, I benefited immensely. ” 1 1 Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 23, dated 24 June 1901, pp. 10-11 p. 175
