What judgement would Abdul Hafeez now like to pronounce upon God Almighty, His apostle Prophet Muhammad sa and his blessed companions for having described some people, albeit. Muslims, as enemies, disbelievers and liars? Would he take exception to God Almighty and His Prophets as well as early. Muslims for having used these descriptions for people to whom these aptly applied? And if not, then is his entire premise for getting involved in this century old controversy not rather misjudged and without reasonable cause?. The author of Two in One may deceive the masses by pretending to have taken exception to these words contained in the Mubahala challenge issued by the Caliph of the Ahmadiyya. Muslim Community but it is an established fact of Islamic history that Muslim saints and scholars have employed such descriptions for other Muslims whenever considered appropriate. In fact, Islamic literature is full of instances where, in the interest of truth, Muslim divines have branded their coreligionists as enemies of the faith, disbelievers in Islam and personified liars. Had Abdul Hafeez been conversant with. Islamic literature, he may have yet abstained from being engaged in this controversy which according to his own claim, he would have rather avoided. 20.
