Reply to a Mockery — Page 111
Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 111 such a claim. And to fortify his deception he inserted the words ‘O Mirza’ in parenthesis at the beginning of the revelation. Why does Maulaw i Sahib fabricate such stories to try to prove his self-coined belief about Mirza Sahib? Was truth ever born of falsehood? Esteemed readers! It is quite common to find a co-mingling of personal pronouns in the scriptures. In other words, a sentence may start with one personal pronoun but then suddenly switch to another. The following Quranic verses are presented as examples: 1. Sūrah F a ti h ah starts in the third person but soon switches to the first and second person with the words, ‘You alone do we worship’. No one has the right to misinterpret these words. 2. َو ْيِذَّلا َلَّزَن َنِم ِءٓاَمَّسلا ًۢءٓاَم ٍرَدَقِب١ۚ اَنْرَشْنَاَف ٖهِب ًةَدْلَب اًتْيَّم١ۚ َكِلٰذَك َنْوُجَرْخُت And Who sends down water from the sky in proper meas- ure, and We thereby quicken a dead land—even so will you be raised. ( Sūrah az-Zukhruf, 43:12) 3. ْۤيِذَّلا َلَزْنَا َنِم ِءٓاَمَّسلا ًءٓاَم١ۚ اَنْجَرْخَاَف ٖهِب َتاَبَن ِّلُك ٍءْيَش َوُہ َو And it is He who sends down water from the cloud; and We bring forth therewith every kind of growth. ( Sūrah al-An‘ a m, 6:100) 4. َو ُهّٰللا ْۤيِذَّلا َلَسْرَا َحٰيِّرلا ُرْيِثُتَف اًباَحَس ُهٰنْقُسَف ىٰلِا ٍدَلَب ٍتِّيَّم اَنْيَيْحَاَف ِهِب َضْرَاْلا َدْعَب اَهِتْوَم And Allah it is who sends the winds which raise the clouds; then do We drive them to a lifeless tract of land,
