The Reality of Khilafah — Page 169
An Announcement for Public Awareness 169 regarding any of the previous challenges. I offer you a period of 27 days and promise 27 rupees as a reward. If you like, I can hand the money over to you forthwith, failing which I would be con- sidered a liar. I can send this money in advance if you publicly pledge to publish the refuting article within 27 days. If you are able to meet this challenge, you will not only get a reward of 27 rupees but you shall also receive my public admission that I was mistaken in having called you Sheikh instead of maulaw i , that you are indeed a great scholar and man of letters, and that whatever meaning you give to the Hadith should be accepted. Consider how much you can win from this. You will no longer need to bother people to raise money or have to resign from your current position, because when you have successfully competed against me, you will have falsified my revelations and I would be left with nothing. I swear by God Almighty that if you have any knowledge of Arabic at all, you will not turn away from this chal- lenge. You will receive one rupee for every error that you point out in my book that exceeds the errors in yours. The deadline for this submission is 25th July. If you do not publish and announce this submission by 25th July, you will be deemed to have run away from the challenge. It is now incumbent upon Muslims to counter the so-called maulaw i s who have made their articles and their sermons a source of livelihood. Wherever such maulaw i s come to preach, they should be asked if they are truly maulaw i s or only call them- selves so for selfish motives. Ask them if they have written a reply to N u rul- H aqq or to Kar a m a tu s - Sa diq i n or published a book to compete with Sirrul-Khil a fah? Remember, these people are not maulaw i s. Muslims must always keep books such as N u rul- H aqq
