30 Messiah as, Maulaw i Sahib has lost all senses. Had he but taken a fleeting glance at the lives of the past Prophets (peace be on them all), his conscience would have informed him of the irrational- ity of his arguments, even though his poison pen might still have remained outside his control. Now, the Prophet Jesus as lived in a village called Nazareth and Joseph as, known as his father, was a carpenter. For a time, Jesus worked with Joseph in that profession. Maul a n a Sahib! In your opinion, working for a living is a way of ‘filling the belly of hell’. Yet Jesus as worked for a living while living in a village. But let us leave all other Prophets aside, and look only at the King of Prophets, Muhammad Mus t af a , peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. May we ask Maulaw i Sahib to read any book on the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as ? He spent his childhood in a village. Along with other children of the village, he would take the goats for grazing. What a wonderful existence and what noble work this King of Prophets used to do! But in Maulaw i Sahib’s opinion, it is objectionable to live in a village and to have a father who earned a living. According to Maulaw i Sahib, anyone making a claim to prophethood while being a villager or having a father who earned a living is (God forbid) an impostor. Dear readers! Consider how Maulaw i Sahib is blinded by his prejudices against Hadrat Mirza Sahib, and how his blindness leads him to dishonesty.
