Another assertion put forward by the ‘White Paper’ is:
Anyone claiming to be a Prophet after the Holy Prophet(sa) was invariably considered a liar and apostate. It was not considered necessary to have discussions with or engage such a person in debate. This is proof that Mirza Sahib was an impostor [God forbid]. (Qadiyaniyyat—Islam kei liye eik Sangin Khatrah [Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam,] p. 24–25)
Continuing further, they write:
During the last fourteen hundred years Khataman-Nabiyyin has universally been interpreted by Muslims to mean that the Holy Prophet(sa) was the last Prophet and that there would be no Prophet after him. It was because of this unshakable faith that the Muslim ummah vigorously opposed anyone who made a claim to prophethood and never forgave him. (Ibid.)
According to them, because claimants to prophethood have been opposed, no Prophet can come and that the Promised Messiah(as) (God forbid) was an impostor. They put forth arguments based on strange logic and based on a short period of history. A review of the entire history would change their assertion: from the time of Adam(as) to the time of the Holy Prophet [Muhammad](sa) and even after him, all claimants to prophethood have been opposed, persecuted and laughed at; in particular, all true Prophets have been opposed and persecuted.
Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
Alas for My servants! … (Surah Ya Sin, 36:31)
To reject and mock a Messenger is an old custom. Bearing witness to this, will you reject the truth of each and every Prophet simply because he was faced with hostility and antagonism? How would you justify your inference based on the above verse of the Holy Qur’an? I also quoted verses from the Holy Qur’an earlier indicating opposition of all Prophets following Moses(as). It is true that some impostors also faced opposition but they were negligible. Most impostors were not opposed; they died their own miserable death. The arguments you have used to prove that the Promised Messiah(as) was an impostor, in fact, are a telling proof of his truthfulness.
