Maulavi Irshad Ali of Nagpur

[ BACK ] Joining Islam again after repenting from his conversion to Christianity, he wrote the following in reply to a Christian missionary:

``The Christian missionary Safdur Ali has challenged me to a debate with him on the truth of Islam and Christianity…But I can ask him that if he is so confident about his arguments and the truth of Christianity, where was he when Maulavi Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani stood in the field of debate like a brave lion and challenged him. This challenge had such an effect on you people that no Christian missionary dare confront him [Mirza Ghulam Ahmad].''
