Refutation of the Doctrine of Transmigration (Radd-e-Tanasukh) was originally penned in Urdu by Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen, Khalifatul-Masih I (ra). It was first published in 1891 and was included in volume II of book Tasdiq Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. This treatise was written at a time when the atmosphere in British India was dominated by highly charged religious polemics. Hindu pundits engaged in aggressive and well-funded campaigns to denigrate the Holy Founder of Islam (sas) and attack the integrity of Islam. They openly vowed to convert the Muslim masses back to Hinduism.
In this booklet, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen (ra), an internationally renowned Muslim scholar and devotee of the Promised Messiah (as), refutes the arguments put forth by Pandit Dayanand and his followers in support of the doctrine of transmigration. He also disputes the claim asserted in a booklet entitled Tanqiyah, which states that the Holy Quran teaches transmigration as well. Using the Quran itself and rational analysis in his cross examination, he effectively rebuts these arguments from various angles. As a scholar of scripture and linguistics, the author analyses the philosophy and implications of the belief in incarnation and how they lead to absurdities. He also clarifies the various misunderstandings and misinterpretations opponents of Islam attribute to selected verses of the Holy Quran. Readers will find his arguments profound, insightful, and enlightening.
