At present the objections that are being raised against the Promised Messiah (as) are—as the Quran says in the verses recited in the beginning of the sermon—the same old objections which are being repeated and there is nothing new which is being said against him that had not been said already against the earlier Prophets (as). And most of the time the objections which used to be raised against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sas) are being repeated against his pious and devoted servant who sincerely and truly loved him (the Holy Prophet (sas)). Thus in the so-called White Paper which the Government of Pakistan has published much stress has been laid on the accusation that his Jama‘at (the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at) is the British product and Khud Kashta Pauda1 of the British. The exact wording of the accusation is: ‘Modern research scholars have established that Ahmadiyyat is the Khud Kashta Pauda of the British which was planted by the British for safeguarding the interest of the British government’. Here no mention is made of who these modern research scholars are nor is any mention of the nature and detail of their research given. Instead an utterly baseless allegation has been made which is couched in such a language as may appeal to the East as well as to the educated people in general so that they start believing that the language in which the research is presented conforms to the standard of genuine research and are, in the end, taken in by the phrase ‘present day research scholars have proved that’.
