A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 47 ] Just as it is described in the analysis of the Ahle H ad i th Maula vi Sahib, quoted above the present day maula vi s hype those a ha d i th which serve them, but deliberately cover up the others. Only the Tongue Remains Again, the Ahle H ad i th reads as follows in its December 20, 1921 publication: Our strength has been wrenched out; our valour has become an illusion. Our limbs [of the body of the ummah ] have become weak, and our spiritual zeal has disappeared. In fact, it is no exaggeration to declare that the signs of life have altogether vanished from the limbs; the only living parts left are the mouth, and in it, a tongue. ( Ahle H ad i th , December, 20, 1921) How is it that only the tongue remains? For what purpose is life left in it? The weekly magazine, Tan zi m, also affiliated with the Ahle H ad i th , says the following about that tongue in its September 5, 1969 publication.

And they do other such things. Why is this?’ He explained: ‘It is not the maulav i who becomes a thief.
