THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH 60 [continued] [cont not received any such warrant in the first place. How- ever, upon receipt of court documents, the Official in the Gurdaspur District called me through an ordinary summons and respectfully gave me a chair. This District Official, whose name was Captain M. W. Douglas, be- ing very intelligent, wise, and fair-minded, immediately understood that the court case was baseless and false. It is for this reason that, at another place, I have likened him to Pilate; indeed, he is greater than Pilate in terms of courage and justice. God's grace further manifested itself when Abdul Hameed himself admitted before the court that the Christians had tutored him about his statement, and that it was utterly false that he had been encouraged to kill someone. Considering the last statement to be true, the District Official wrote a forceful verdict setting me free and congratulated me in court with a smile. May Allah be praised for this.
