(In view of the time constraint, I shall address the second aspect of this topic in my next Friday sermon. I have left out the mention of many references, but still, the nature of these topics is such as will prolong the duration of Friday sermons. So it is not necessary that I should deal with a topic at length and finish it during the same Friday sermon. Several minor topics may, however, be treated in the same sermon. I estimate this series to be completed in about a couple of months.)
To sum it up, as far as the matter of praising the British and the allegation of being ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’ is concerned, our Jama‘at must now know this subject inside out. The Promised Messiah (as) never even vaguely hinted at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at when he employed the phrase, ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’. Rather, his ancestral family with reference to whom he used this descriptive phrase, consisted of an assortment of Sunnis and Ahl-e-Hadith individuals. And even in regard to them, he did not use the expression with reference to their religion but used it in respect of the family as such. Then again, it is a hundred percent established fact that this family did not benefit financially at all from the British. Instead, the British government proved to be one which confiscated the family property.
As for the accusers, their tongues are utterly unrestrained and they have no fear of God. In addition to accusing certain other sects as ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’, they continue to allege the same against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at. They have so deeply fallen in love with this expression that they don’t want to abandon it. They themselves accept in some contexts, and tell others, that it is true that the British laid their foundation. These are irreversible events which are etched in history. Similarly, they have stated, and continue to affirm, the raison d’être of their existence and their mission in life.
