( 116 ) and will save it like we did the Israelites (from the cruelties of the Pharoah’ ( Tazkira , 94, 283, 764)” (Truth Triumphs, page 49) It is to be carefully remembered that these Ilhams , each a separate piece; have been culled by Mr. Faruqi from different places, without giving any reason why, and how, he has brought them up together, in this sequence. His translation, too, shows the same tendency to extract his own favourite meaning therefrom, by twisting the texts. There is absolutely no hint here that the Ahmadiyya Movement would come to be ruined, at the hands of one of his sons, where at the Lord God assured him that the damage would be repaired. Mr. Faruqi’s pet theory that the Ahmadiyya Movement would suffer severe damage at the hands of the Promised Messiah’s sons, appears to indicate the diseased condition of his own mind. The Ilham “We shall certainly return her to you” has its background and context in the prophecy concerning Mohammadi Begum, as borne out by Tazkira , page 283. In Tazkira , page 764, is found only one Ilham , namely, “Shall reform my Community, if Allah wills it”, this being a hint that his son, the Mus1ih Mau’ud, would accomplish the task. There is nothing hereto support the view that the Muslih Mau’ud would come as the Mojaddid of the sixteenth century. Another Wrong Exposition On page 50 of his book, Mr. Faruqi has put down an Ilham as follows: “These Ulama have changed the shape of my dwelling; they have built their fireplaces in my prayer-house. They have kept their cups and saucers in the place where I worshipped and like rats they are nibbling at the sayings and traditions of my Holy Prophet, Mohammad. ” ( Izala-i-Auham , footnote, page 76) On this Ilham , then, Mr. Faruqi has commented as follows: “A clear proof of the truth of Hazrat Mirza Sahib’s above statement is that although the Prophet’s saying that there shall be no prophet after me, has been mentioned about forty times, in one way or another, in the books of Traditions, yet Khalifa (Mahmud Ahmad Sahib) goes against it, and accepts Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a full- fledged prophet. ” (Truth Triumps, page 5) Exposition given by the Promised Messiah Commenting on this, the Promised Messiah says: “ Thuthian are the small cups in India called sakorian. Place of worship here signifies the hearts of most of the Ulama these days, brimful with plans and programmes of worldly aggrandisements. ” ( Izala-i-Auham , page 77) This is a startling example of how jealousy and prejudice can make a man totally blind. Mr. Faruqi ignores the exposition of the Ilham given by the Reformer who received it; and he blithely proceeds to apply it to Hazrat Mirza
