The Heavenly Sign — Page 70
70 Nishan-e-Āsmānī abstruse mysteries, they hasten to pass verdicts of disbelief out of stupidity. Not a single revered saint have they spared. And yet they themselves say that when the Mahdias will come the Maulawīs will declare him to be an infidel and so will they do to Jesusas when he descends from heaven. In response to all this, I say, well, Gentlemen, I seek refuge with Allah from all of you! The Holy One, Himself has been protecting His saints from your mischief, otherwise you would have devoured all the saints of the Umma of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa like witches. Your foul language was directed against all the saints of the former as well as latter times. You are yourselves fulfilling the very signs that you relate. It is strange indeed that they (the Ulema) have no gracious presumptions about each other either. Only a short time ago, three hundred had affixed their seal on an edict, published in Madārul Haq, declaring that the Muwahhids were irreligious. When such denouncements are so common and cheap, why should one fear them? But, it is regrettable that Maulawi Nadhir Hussain and Shaikh Batālwi have employed a great deal of forgery in their edict and ruined their Hereafter with all sorts of calumny. In this short booklet, I can not go into the details of the dishonesty which Shaikh Batālwī has employed, with the consent of Shaikh Dihlwī, in his Edict of Disbelief, and has thus spoiled his record book of good deeds.
