Ahmadis using the Bible?

بسم الله و الحمد لله و صلاة و سلام على النبي

I have the great blessing of attending a masjid that is large, diverse, famous and most importantly, has a great staff of highly knowledgeable teachers. This also makes us the target of Christian evangelism.

This past Jumu’a, several Christians were passing out literature right outside of our masjid. I received one of the packets containing The Book of Romans, The Book of John, and a CD on the life of “Jesus”, (all in Arabic). I noticed that one of the booklets said we could send away for a free copy of the “Holy Injeel”. I lightly chuckled to myself upon reading that. Since when is the New Testament the same as Injeel?

One can make a reasonable argument that the Torah, particularly the first five books (Tanakh) were once True Books of Allah, revealed to Musa عليه السلام for the guidance of Bani Isra’eel. That’s why you’ll see verses of the Torah which resemble fundamental Islamic beliefs. (ie, Deuteronomy 6:4 the Sheema resembling Surah Ikhlaas) But, over time, these books were altered, corrupted and changed to their present form.

How about the Injeel? What happened to it? Is the New Testament the corrupted version of the Injeel? This is a misconception a lot of South Asian Muslims have about the New Testament, of which Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was no exception. They assume it is the same book revealed to ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام. The reality is, the latter books of the Bible, from the Gospel of Matthew to Revelations were never books revealed by Allah. They are not even a corrupted version of it. Rather, they are the confused, ambiguous, sometimes cryptic writings of…actually there’s disagreement who even wrote them. But, one thing is certain, they were not revealed to ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام, nor even written during his lifetime.

There’s nothing wrong with not knowing this fact. There’s tons of things about the Bible, and even the Qur’an, that I don’t know. But, the problem comes in when Mirza Ghulam Ahmad started to use the Bible to prove the validity of Ahmadiyya.

For example, look at Chapter 1 of Jesus in India. Mirza “proved” that ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام did not die on the cross. What are his sources? Most are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. (Look towards the bottom of the page.)

Other times, I’ve heard Ahmadis defend the absurd belief that Mirza was the second coming of ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام just as ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام was the second coming of Elijah عليه السلام. I ask where they get this concept of his second coming and they quote me Bible verses. For example, scroll down to “Fortunate Is He Who Takes Lessons From The Plight Of Others (Hadithun Nabi)” in The Advent of the Messiah and Mahdi and look for “Malachi 4:5”.

How about the numerous Bible references about the alleged Tomb of Jesus that was “recently discovered” in Kashmir? Are you being serious? I’m supposed to believe in Ahmadiyya because of Bible verses? I mean…The Bible? Since when has the Bible been a source of guidance for the Muslims?

The Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم said, “As long as you hold fast to two things which I have left among you, you will never go astray: Allah’s Book [the Qur'an] and my Sunnah.” Did he tell us to refer to any third source. No! (that includes the writings of Mirza) So, then why do Ahmadis insist on citing the Bible as an evidence for their religion?

Now, one could make the argument “Yes, but there is some Truth still in the Bible.” Point taken. But, which parts? How do you know what is true and what is false? What is the criteria? Is it based on what agrees with Ahmadiyya? That’s a bit biased, no? The reality is, we do not have any objective criteria to determine what is true and what is false in the Bible, other than that which agrees with the Qur’an. But, even if some parts are true, and they were essential for our guidance, Allah would have revealed it in the Qur’an. In other words, they are not even essential for our guidance and could possibly be false. The safest bet is to disregard it completely and refer only to the Qur’an and authentic Prophetic traditions. Nevertheless, the Ahmadis still insist on using the Bible. Well, lets read what the Bible say of the Prophets عليهم السلام:

Genesis 9:20 – Noah عليه السلام drank alcohol, then laid in his house naked. His youngest son accidentally saw him in that state and was cursed for having done so.
Genesis 12:14 – Ibrahim عليه السلام traded his wife Sarah as a slave to Pharaoh to acquire livestock and slaves.
Genesis 19:30 - While Lut عليه السلام was drunk, his two daughters had sex with him and became pregnant to preserve their family line.
2 Samuel 11 – Dawood عليه السلام saw a beautiful woman bathing on a roof top, had sex with her and then had her husband killed in battle so he could marry her.
1 Kings 11:1 - The wives of Sulayman عليه السلام convinced him to commit shirk by worshiping other gods.
John 2:3 – ‘Esa bin Maryam عليه السلام spoke disrespectfully to his own mother.

The very book they are quoting from and using as a source of “historical information” about the Prophets عليهم السلام says such terrible things about them. Why then do Mirza and the Ahmadis use the Bible to prove their religion? My theory is, in the absence of any evidence from the Qur’an and Prophetic traditions, they need some kind of text that adds credibility to their claims. That’s where the Bible comes in.

Rather, we Muslims should reject such sources and refer back to the Qur’an and Prophetic traditions. Any argument stemming exclusively from the Bible (or the Bhagavad Gita, Guru Granth Sahib or whatever) is subject to rejection.

We ask Allah, in this blessed month of Ramadhan, to save us from such clear misguidance and to guide the Ahmadis away from the false teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to the True teachings of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم. To the Muslims, make Du’a for the guidance of our Ahmadi friends to Islam this Ramadhan.

و صلي الله على سيدنا محمد و على الى و سلم

Ramadan didn’t used to mean much to me as a Qadiani, but since I have been a Muslim, it has been an uplifting experience. I feel connected to every Muslim on the planet, of every race and background. (Qadianis are connected only to a Punjabi subgroup, because despite their best efforts and the support of Western media and governments, Islam and even other groups are highly resistant to this heretic creed).

Of course, Qadianis do fast, and I do pray that those who love the part of Qadianism that takes its core from Islam, will be guided to truth and revert to Islam when they realise just how divergent Islam and Qadianism are.

Islam is vibrant today, because despite rampant Islamophobia, more and more people are drawn to Islam and indeed, are becoming Muslims by the day. The dark(!) picture painted of Muslims in the Western media doesn’t very often tally with the reality. For starters, Islam is way too diverse and confusing for most people to grasp. Sure, modern-day Orientalists, some of whom are faux-left-wing bloggers thrown up to media-stardom level by a system that clearly hasn’t a clue, have tried to pin this label and that on us, completely missing the point - that despite many differences, Muslim people have more in common with each other than their rulers and dividers would like to portray.

In this holy month, Muslims will be fasting and doing their best to be as “good” as they can. We will be reciting Al Qur’an, we will be praying taraweeh, we will make dhikr, we will attempt to minimise our bad habits and increase our good ones. We will be kinder to neighbours, we will be more loving to our parents and our children. We will call for peace and denounce oppression and tyranny.

What is it about this Islam that Qadianis still find threatening?

I invite all Qadianis to come to our mosques and experience the true spirit of Ramadan insha’Allah. They will be most welcome.

The Cult Hides its Shame

By the grace of Allah the Exalted, the Mirza Movement Against Islam has been forced to take swift action to conceal its filth after my latest video entitled “Masroor’s Fans” (now available on request) exposed the hypocrisy of the self-styled “Saved Sect” in devastating fashion.

In a cowardly move, typical of the closed-minded cult mentality that cannot allow open discussion, they got YouTube to remove the video “Masroor’s Fans”.

Despite my making it clear that the video was never meant to be an attack on any individual, and that I respect the right of ladies to observe or not observe hijab as is their right, the Qadianis were not ashamed to show themselves to 60 million Facebook users, but somehow felt shame when I made the point of the untenable “saved sect” hypocrisy in my YouTube video.

This removal of my video was important for them because it revealed just how abusive the Qadianis can be in the comments section. It also constitutes destruction of evidence (good thing I take screen shots in anticipation of all such eventualities) after my recent email to their head office presenting their abusive followers was ignored. Clearly, their “Love for Satan, Hatred for Muslims” mantra is at play here.

In another stunning move of covering up their shame, they also pulled the two Facebook fan pages of Mirza Masroor Ahmad, but not before it was completely recorded. On their fan page, I left various comments, all polite, but I was abused openly there too, in one particuar comment I was called a “lieing psyhco” (sic) by somebody who signed off with the ridiculous “Love for All, Hatred for None” slogan. It has become clear to me that what this slogan really means is that everybody else should love the Qadianis, whilst they should feel free to hate anyone they (dis)like.

Clearly, our campaign of exposure of the hypocrisy, abuse and hatred of the Qadianis is yielding results.

All praise is due to Allah (SWT) alone, who gave Muslims the deen of Islam.

Oppressive Cult and its Rascals

A person who once joined the Ahmadiyya visited their HQ in Pakistan and commented: The people I met were either rascals or fools. This is a classic cult scenario: the few rascals control the thought processes of the brainwashed fools. Let us look at a recent example.

Perspective on Oppression

The Qadiani Ahmadiyya routinely persecute and oppress those that even raise a question about the leadership or their convoluted utterings and reasonings, all the while complaining about being ‘persecuted’. This oppression includes total social boycott (virtually a solitary confinement sentence for followers who are continually discouraged from all outside social links) and threats of violence.

Malik Safiullah is a rabid Qadiani who maintains a mailing list. Two of his mailings prove he is a ‘rascal’ (as defined above). Here is his take on two of the most vicious cases of oppression: (1) the murder of Fakhruddin Multani on the instigation of Mirza Mahmud, and (2) the boycott and expulsion of Abdul Mannan Omar from Rabwah at the hands of Mirza Mahmud and his son Mirza Nasir.

The mere translation will show the deep and vicious roots of this cultish thought control process:

Prophecy about Mirza Mahmud being ‘kind of heart’

“Fakhruddin Multani was the founder of a conspiracy (fitna) and he uttered abuse from his tongue and his pen, and questioned the character (calumny) of Mirza Mahmud and his family. But, after he was murdered, his wife requested Mirza Mahmud for financial assistance due to her straitened circumstances and destitution. Despite the fact that the conspiracy was still going on, the embodiment of kindness (Mirza Mahmud) arranged for food supplies for them.

Also, Mirza Mahmud (MM) had announced that he would not be able to perform the marriage ceremony of anyone other than his family and life devotees. But when Fakhruddin Multani’s son said that unless MM performed the nikah of his sister, no Ahmadi would be willing to marry her, he (MM) accepted the request and performed the nikah of the daughter of Fakhruddin Multani.

Special Favour to the Family of Abdul Mannan Omar

This has been formatted like a narration from the ‘rascal’ himself - somewhat like the Seeratul Mahdi pseudo-narrations:

“A special favour by Mirza Nasir to the family of Abdul Mannan Omar: Bibi Amtul Rahman (deceased) was like a sister to my mother and considered my mother like an elders sister. Once, a Rabwah woman met Bibi in a wedding and Bibi asked this woman to convey a special message to her elder sister. The message was: ‘Recently, I was very worried about a match for my daughter as I did not want her to be married among non-Ahmadis (Muslims) nor among Paighamis (Lahori Ahmadis). Allah had mercy on us and Mirza Nasir, out of his great favour and kindness, arranged a match for her with the son of Malik Ghulam Fareed. With the grace of God, she is married now. Mirza Nasir has bestowed a special favour on us. Please convey this message to my elder sister.’ My mother told this story to me many times, wsalam, Malik Safiullah Khan, Toronto, Canada.”

The unseasoned reader may not see the ominous message and threat: These two cases have been discussed on forums recently. The subliminal message is: “don’t even think about leaving - you will have to come begging - and your children will not get married.” Am I stretching it a bit? Well, these are the two top delaying reasons given by Ahmadis who are thinking about leaving the cult!

I sent this email to the Ahmadiyya UK centre today after a torrent of the most disgusting comments ever were posted on my videos by Qadianis:

Dear Sir/Madam,

You know who I am, I make the videos that you would rather were not made. I am writing to you to obtain a written apology for the language used by your members against me in some of my videos, signed by the head of your movement.

If I do not get a written apology, I will go public about your “Love for All, Hatred for None” facade and show the comments made by your members, reproduced below.

Your members have at times made physical threats too. Is this what you mean by “Love for All, Hatred for None”?

Here are some of the aforementioned comments. The language is Qadiani:

“lol he 38 old lonely shit,from hammersmitih telin us love 4all, u aint ahmdi da 1 bruv

I have blind copied several key people. Your deviant cult has descended to depths even the foul-mouthed Mirza Ghulam Ahmad couldn’t plumb.

You have until Friday night to respond or I go public. So far my campaign has been low level. How you respond determines my next level of activism.

Finally, I am aware that you hypocritically have used violence to silence some of your critics. The people blind copied are witness that I consider myself threatened. (I have filed the threatening emails separately)

Shahid Kamal Ahmad

And their slogan is “Love for All, Hatred for None”. Their language apes their founder’s, who routinely called his opponents “bastard” and “spawn of whore” etc.

A brief note: Those who are used to my swearing should note that I have never used foul language towards these people in my correspondence.

Amongst the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Righteous

This is Farhan, the Gangsta Mullah, here to refute a common Ahmadi argument. In fact, I am so bold as to say the single most common Ahmadi argument, stemming from dozens of Ahmadi sources. It even almost convinced me!

Here is the gist of the argument. In the Qur’an, in Surah Nisaa verse 69 (70) Allah says:

وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقً

And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings - the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent company are they.
- Muhammad ‘Ali translation, the official Ahmadi translation

The gist of their argument is: Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be one of the Truthful, Martyrs, and Righteous. These three categories will continue to come in this Ummah. If these can continue to come, then so can the Prophets! Therefore, there can be other Prophets and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is one of them.

Pretty air tight, right? WRONG! This verse was not revealed in a vacuum left for the Ahmadis to interpret as they wish. This verse was revealed when a companion by the name of Thawbaan رضي الله عنه came to the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم with signs of grief on his face. The Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم asked why he was sad, and he replied saying he is saddened that the Prophet will be in a higher level of Jannah than him, and he will be aware from the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم. In response to his concern stemming from his deep love of the Messenger of Allah صلي الله عليه و سلم, Allah revealed this verse.

Said al-Kalbi: “This verse was revealed about Thawban, the client of Allah’s Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace. Thawban loved the Prophet dearly such that he could not bear not seeing him for long periods. One day Thawban showed up with his complexion changed, he had lost weight and the signs of sadness were evident on his face. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to him: ‘O Thawban, what has made your complexion change?’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I am not suffering from any harm or pain, except that when I do not see you, I miss you and feel intense longing for you which does not cease until I meet you. Then I remember the Afterlife and I fear that I will not see you there. I know that you will be raised high up with the Prophets whereas if I enter the Garden, I will be in a rank much lower than yours, and if I do not enter the Garden, it will be certain that I will never see you’. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”.

This verse is not talking about the Dunya, it is talking about the Akhirah! Therefore, it has nothing to do with these four categories of people coming in this life. Yes, the Truthful, Martyrs and Righteous will come in this Ummah, but this particular verse is not talking about it.

Still don’t think it refers to the next life? Then ask yourself how you be “with the martyrs”? To be a martyr, you have to have died and to be with the dead you have to be dead yourself! So, it clearly refers to the next life

Still still don’t think so? The Ahmadis canonized (scroll down to THE INSTITUTION OF MUJADADIYYAT) who they believe the Mujaddideen (religious revivers). Two of them are Abdul Qadir al-Gilaani and Jalal ad-Deen as-Suyootee, from the 6th and 9th century, respectfully. Lets see what they say about this verse:

Abdul Qadir al-Gilaani, in his book Futuh al-Ghayb (The Unveiling of the Unseen), in the “Fourty-Fifth” discourse writes:

This is how to protect blessings from passed away and irrigate its plant and to accelerate the growth of its branches and leaves; and to help the beautification of its fruit and to sweeten its taste and to assure the safety of its end and to make its eating tasteful and to make its swallowing easy and to make it yield comfort and to enable it to maintain its growth in the body and to make its blessings manifest on the organs of the body through various kinds of acts of obedience to God such as will render one nearer to God and to keep him in His remembrance, and will further make the servant enter in the life hereafter and the mercy of God, and Mighty, the Glorious, and will earn for him an abiding life in the gardens of paradise in the holy companionship of prophets, siddiqs (the truthful ones), the Shahids (witnesses) and the Salihs (the righteous) - a beautiful company are those.

Jalal ad-Deen as-Suyootee, in his Tafseer book Tafseer Jalalayn writes:

Whoever obeys God and the Messenger, in what he commands, they are with those whom God has blessed of the prophets and the truthful, that is, the most excellent of the Prophet’s Companions, because of the fullness of their truthfulness and their affirmation of the truth; and the martyrs, those slain in the path of God; and the righteous, [all those] other than the ones mentioned. What fine companions they are!, in Paradise, since in it one will enjoy seeing them, visiting them and being in their presence, even though they will be in the highest stations in relation to others.

To sum it up, this verse is talking about the reunion of the righteous Muslims in the next life with all of the other Muslims, including the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم! To maintain their intentional misinterpretation, the Ahmadis would have to do the following:

Reject the Hadith of the Prophet صلي الله عليه و سلم
Reject the logic of being “with the dead”
Reject the Scholars of Islam they themselves consider Mujaddideen رحيمهم الله
Find some other implausible explanation. But, I trust the average Ahmadi will see through nonsense of the Murabbis and their tactics.

May Allah guide our friends away from Ahmadiyya and to Islam!

Ahmadi Boycott

I gasped at the audacity of the Ahmadiyya’s pitiful “cry-wolf” organ repeating a story from the Bangladeshi Daily Star about an Ahmadi family in Bangladesh being “harrassed”.

Looking at the actual picture, the “persecution” that this family received was ostracism and boycott from the mainstream Muslim community.? Not exactly the end of the world then. No beatings, no house burnings, no murders. Just ostracism and a boycott.

Not nice, but let’s consider this. I watched a programme this evening where the brothers of a teenage mum had their faces beaten to a pulp by thugs, just for being their brothers. Now that’s ostracism to the max. Only, I didn’t see them make a fuss, or start putting up web sites about it.

Still, ostracism and boycott, whilst not exactly life threatening, can be “painful”.

Which brings me to the point. The Ahmadis routinely boycott Ahmadi families for:

Allowing their daughters to marry a Muslim
Listening to music at a wedding
Asking routine questions about their faith
Not paying the 6.25% tax

The families in question have to write begging letters for weeks, sometimes months and even years to the current Mirza Cult Leader of the day, seeking pardon. In the meantime, the community shuns the family and sometimes individuals and they are left in limbo, neither accepted by the Ahmadis, nor by the Muslims (unless they renounce the cult, which very few brave people do).

This practice started in earnest with the arrival of the Cult’s True Master, Mirza Mahmud, son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. This man was responsible for setting up the cult apparatus in the image of the Papacy in Rome. A horrific example can be found in the murder of Fakhrudin Multani. This poor man was a companion of Mirza, a true believer. He left his home and settled in Qadian, to be with his master. He was then treated like a modern day paedophile in a northern town and ultimately murdered.

His murderer was hanged by the government, but buried with full honours by the Ahmadiyya. This is an old story. The newer ones, while often not as violent, are just as painful and the reasons often more petty. This happens while rapists connected to the Mirza family are given enormous financial support and while the cult keeps grabbing land for no reason other than to satisfy the greed of the leadership.

Nobody condones murder or persecution. I’m not backing any of that kind of nonsense here. I used to be one of them - how could I possibly condone violence against them? I am just of the firm opinion however, that the persecution of Ahmadis is the most overplayed card in the history of all fitnas to affect the Muslim Ummah. If it’s persecution you want to see, look at Palestine. Look at Chechnya. Look at Bosnia. Look at Iraq. Look at Afghanistan. Then shut the hell up already.

It would behove the Ahmadiyya to stop bleating on about “persecution” when its own house is in disarray. When the Ahmadiyya stops boycotting and ostracising its own for allowing their daughters to marry Muslims, then they should feel free to put out pathetic press releases about a family practising a cult that is anathema to Muslims getting cold-shouldered.

Mirza and Plagiarism

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (MGAQ) made two main claims concerning his Arabic writings:

First Claim: His Arabic Books are from Allah (SWT)

MGAQ said:

((All my Arabic books are type of revelation since I wrote them with special support from God. Sometimes I do not understand the meaning of some words and sentences unless I use a dictionary)) - Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Narration No. 104 (Click Here)

He also said

((I confess that all my books were written through the power of Allah)) – Rouhani Khazain, vol 18, Ijaz-ul-Masih, page 1 (Click Here)

Second Claim: He Never Read Arabic Literature Books

MGAQ wrote:

((It is a sign for people that Allah has developed the Arabic knowledge of the promised Messiah and kept him devoted to the right path and to the wisdom. The promised Massiah is not an Arab, he didn’t have good knowledge in Arabic language and he never read Arabic literature books, even so, no human could beat him in this field)) - Rouhani Khazain, vol 22, Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi, p 629. (Click Here)

He also wrote:

((All the knowledge of the [promised] Messiah descends from heaven. He does NOT get any help from [the people of] earth)) - Rouhani Khazain, vol 5, Aina Kamalat-ul-Islam, page 409 (Click Here)

Examine His Two Claims

To examine MGAQ’s claims about his Arabic books, let us read his book “Hujjatullah”. This Arabic book is small in size; if we remove its Urdu texts, translations and poems, the Arabic text would cover around 25 x-large-font pages or 7 normal-font pages only.

MGAQ challenged all his opponents to write something similar to his book “Hujjatullah”. He claimed that the Arabic of this book is far superior to the Arabic of any other book ever written by humans.

MGAQ wrote:

((Whoever ponders over this book, he would realize the fluency of its sentences and the perfectness of its style. He would also confess that it is far superior to the official Arabic writings and that its attractiveness is far better than any human writing)) - Rouhani Khazain, vol 12, Hujjatullah, page 140 (Click Here)

However, if you read this book you’ll realize that - out of its 25 pages - dozens of sentences and paragraphs had been stolen from an Arabic book titled “Maqaamaat al-Hareeri”, which was written by the famous Arab novelist Abu Muhammad al Qasim ibn Ali al-Hareeri (1054-1122).

MGAQ himself considered al-Hareeri to be one of the greatest Arab writers of all times. He mentioned him in one of his challenges to his opponents.

MGAQ wrote:

((The followers of Muhr Ali claimed that he is a complete scholar and a great saint. After he claimed that he is a scholar, I invited him to accept my challenge by writing a Tafseer like my Tafseer, he was stupid and didn’t accept my challenge. I say: even if he was as good as al-Hamazani or al-Hareeri, he would not be able to write a Tafseer like my Tafseer)) - Rouhani Khazain, vol 18, Ijaz al-Masih, page 24 (Click Here)

The Weird Challenge

Whenever I read the following challenge written by MGAQ in his book “Hujjatullah”, I remember the Arabic adage which says “Sometimes, the guilty person would almost say: come on, arrest me, I am the one”:

MGAQ wrote:

((If we show our opponent some paragraphs from our writings and some other paragraphs from the writings of a great Arabic writer without showing the names of the authors; if our opponent is really truthful and can distinguish between the writings then we will give him fifty Rupees as a reward)) - Rouhani Khaza’in, vol 12, Hujjatullah, page 144-145 (Click Here)

Indeed! his opponents could not distinguish between those paragraphs! You know why? Because MGAQ’s paragraphs and the other paragraphs are almost copies! Here are some examples:

.Example 1: Copy and Paste from Maqamat-ul-Hareeri, page7

Al-Hareeri wrote:

((The man suffered the grin of horridness and the warfare of anxiety; he felt the sparks of the envious one and fallen down ill with the black cataclysms. This situation sustained till the palm of his hand was busted. The place became empty and the spring became dry. The light showers of spring took off, the throng vamoosed, the somnolence was discomposed, the circumstance was transmuted, the brood lamented, and the barn became empty… He fallen in the traps of the knavish life and hit by the debasing penury till he wore the barefootedness as footgear, gobbled the lumps in the throat and experienced the doldrums)) -Maqamat ul Hareeri, page 7.

((The hardship attacked him – Atham. This situation sustained till the palm of his hand was busted, the money was stolen and the brood lamented. He fallen in the traps of the knavish grief and hit by the debasing penury till he wore the barefootedness as footgear, gobbled the lumps in the throat and experienced the doldrums. He spent his life with sorrow and fallen down ill with the black cataclysms. He immigrated then to India unassisted and blameful, and lived his life with injury and wound. He suffered the grin of horridness, the warfare of anxiety, the curses of cursers, and the abuse of abusers. This situation sustained till the problems continued, the trials increased, the throng vamoosed and the light showers of spring took off)) - Rouhani Khazain, vol 12, Hujjatullah, page 211-212.

Blind Plagiarism

If you’ll read the whole Hujjatullah book, you’ll realize that MGAQ had copied most of al-Hareeri’s sentences without any change, but sometimes he tried to make minor changes. However, MGAQ couldn’t make big changes since it seems that he was not sure if the modified Arabic sentence would still be valid.

However, even when he was copying a sentence as it is, sometimes MGAQ couldn’t avoid invalid Arabic expressions. See this example from the same page 7 of Maqamat ul Harreeri

MGAQ copied all the sentences which are marked by red lines, however when he copied the sentence which is highlighted in yellow, he couldn’t use it correctly in his Ilhami paragraphs.
