The Sanatan Faith — Page 17
NIYOG 17 Āryah speakers abused Islam like imitators, in total disregard of the requirements of faith. ¹* Had they been sincere, they would have written to me about their objections against Islam. So, even though I could not attend their gathering, I would have sufficiently dispelled their doubts through courteous and eloquent discourse. On this occasion they have left Qadian without gaining anything, carrying the burden of their ridicule and foul language. Even then I have written the book Nasim-e-Da'wat [An Invitation] in a few days to invite them [to truth]. If even a single one of them under- stands, it will be a reward for me. 1. They insulted not only Islam, but also disparaged various holy ten- ets of the Sanatan Dharm and hurt the sentiments of poor Hindus of Sanātan Dharm. Out of habit they unfairly attacked Christianity too. It is most evil to cross all limits to insult others. It is true that Ḥaḍrat ‘Īsā [Jesus] is not God, but he was a cherished Prophet and Messenger of God. It is also true that Raja Rām Chandar and Raja Krishan were not Parmeshwars, but no doubt both of these holy men were virtuous and Avatars. Divine light descended on them; hence, they were referred to as Avatars. Author
