The Miracle of Ahmad — Page 60
Hazrat Mirza ghulam AHmAD 60 beliefs of these people, one ought to peruse the books written by S idd i q H asan, who, in those books, even holds, God forbid, Her Majesty the Queen, answerable before the Mahdi, attributing to her extremely insulting and disrespectful titles, which are impos - sible for me to reproduce here. Anyone who is interested can see those books for himself. I am referring to the same S idd i q H asan, who Muhammad Husain considers to be a Mujaddid [Reformer]. How is it possible, and in what way could this happen that he should entertain an opinion different from the opinion of the person he considers to be a Mujaddid? This could never be. It is indeed a commendable act to help the British government and erase from the minds of the people the incorrect understanding of jihad and deny that a bloodthirsty Mahdi or bloody Messiah would appear. But, if Muhammad Husain had been truly sincere in articulating such beliefs before the government, I too would have viewed him with much respect. But, his conflicting books, whereby he preaches different viewpoints before the government and his religious fellows when they are behind closed doors, serve only to establish his hypocritical behaviour. And, a hypocrite is viewed with contempt by both God and His creation. As a matter of fact, these people are faced with serious difficul - ties. A number of their beliefs are anti-government. Hence, they are not left with any choice but to act hypocritically.

I am not going to deny if such a ‘learned scholar’ has prepared a long list of errors found in my book, I‘j a zul-Mas ih. He
