Intro
“SHAHNA-E-HAQQ” is an interesting book by MGA, it can also be spelled as “Shahna-e-Haqq” another variation is Shahna’-e-Haq. In english its “Scourge of the Truth” as translated by official Ahmadiyya sources (see page 35, “Hidden Treasures”).
MGA’s beef with Hinduism is highlighted herein. MGA hated Hindus and this book proves it. MGA also wrote this book as a response to “Surmah Chashm-e-Aryah ki Haqiqat aur fan fraib Ghulam Ahmad ki Kaifiyyat”, which in english should be, “The truth about Collrium for the eyes of the Aryas, and the truth about Ghulam Ahmad” (very roughly). Its also important to note that this book came right after MGA’s “Surma Chashm Arya” (1886)(Collrium for the eyes of the Aryas). In this book, MGA re-produced an article that he had written in Arabic in 1879.
In this book, MGA published his correspondence with Alexander Russell Webb (See Shahne-e-Haqq pages 372 and 439), Henry Olcott and Charles Bradlaugh. This book also is the aftermath of the beef between MGA and Lekh Ram. Lala Sharampat is mentioned in this book too in terms of the failed prophecy of Duleep Singh. Lala Malawamal is also mentioned.
In 1939, a summary of this book appeared in the ROR of Dec by Dard, this was later made into book form, “Life of Ahmad” by Dard.
First edition of Shohna A Huq.

‘O Aryas, do not try to frighten me with assassination. I am not the kind to be intimidated by your worthless threats. I will certainly expose your false beliefs and reveal the truth about your Vedas”

“Regretfully, these people are stuck in the web (net) of their belief in reincarnation and superstition around transmigration (the cycle of rebirths), and are intoxicated with this in such a way that they are no longer in the habit of searching for the reasons behind anything unexplained, and the Vedas’ misleading teachings have turned them away from thousands of excellent and enchanting philosophical points, resulting in them again and again ending in the pit of ‘avagone’ (system of rebirth). And of all the worlds’ knowledge base, this misconceived belief is the only thing they have taken to heart, that the existence of the world and creation of the heavens and the earth are due simply to the actions of people rather than the perfect wisdom of a Creator; If there were not immorality and immoral actions, there would neither be cows, bulls etc and things that humans need, in fact there would not be the female gender either, and it is due to this reason that these people always avoid scholarly and logical investigations, and in fact are completely empty of this ability and remain ignorant and deprived so that they do not find out about the secrets of life worth investigating or about the unknown facts of all other creation, putting it all down to the past actions of a previous life…..”

“Experience teaches us the well understood lesson that to find out the true reality of something unknown, vast investigations are undertaken. And to find out about one small detail (or attribute), it is required that all other minutiae/attributes are looked at. “

“Nothing is hidden in such a way that it does not become clear in the end. So if I am really dishonest, then this dishonesty will destroy me. However, I am true and He (Allah) who can see my heart, He does not find any deceit in it, so if the first of the Aryas and the last of the Aryas, and the living Aryas and the deceased Aryas, in fact all the adversaries from beginning till end, collect together to defeat me, they will never be able to defeat me, not until that task is completed by my hand, for which Allah, the Glorious, has appointed me.”

Shahna’-e-Haqq, RK-2, pages 372 and 439
Webb wrote two letters to Ghulam Ahmad at Qadian. These letters were published then in Ghulam Ahmad’s book Shahne-e-Haqq page 372 and 439.
Webb’s second letter, dated 24th February 1887, and his reply to it. Despite the length of Webb’s letter, we may reproduce it here for our readers’ interest. Webb begins:
“I cannot adequately express to you my gratitude for the letter received from you under date of December 17. I had almost given up all hope of receiving a reply but the contents of the letter and circulars fully repaid me for the delay. After reading your circulars an idea occurred to me which I will present to you for your consideration. “
“Therefore a visit to India being out of the question it occurred to me that I might, through your aid, assist in spreading the truth here. If, as you say, Islam is the only true religion why could I not act as its apostle or promulgator in America? My opportunities for doing so seem to me very good if I had someone to lead me aright at first. I have been led to believe that not only Muhammad but also Jesus, Gautama Buddha, Zoroaster and many others taught the truth, that we should, however, worship God and not men. If I could know what Muhammad really taught that was superior to the teachings of others, I could then be in a position to defend and promulgate the Muhammadan religion above all others. But the little I do know of his teachings is not sufficient for me to do effective work with. The attention of the American people is being quite generally attracted to the oriental religions but Buddhism seems to be the foremost in their investigations. The public mind, I think, is now more than ever fitted to receive Muhammadanism as well as Buddhism and it may be that through you it is to be introduced in my country. I am convinced that you are very much in earnest. I have no reason to doubt that you are inspired by God to spread the light of truth. Therefore I would be happy to know more of your teachings and to hear further from you. God, who can read all hearts, knows that I am seeking for the truth, that I am ready and eager to embrace it wherever I can find it. If you can lead me into its blessed light you will find me not only a willing pupil but an anxious one. I have been seeking now for three years and have found a great deal.
“If you can help me I hope that you will do so. I shall keep your letter and prize it highly. The circulars, I will have printed in one of the leading American newspapers so that they will have a widespread circulation. I shall be happy to receive from you at any time matter which you may have for general circulation and if you should see fit to use my services to further the aims of truth in the country they will be freely at your disposal, provided of course that I am capable of receiving your ideas and that they convince me of their truth.
“I am already well satisfied that Muhammad taught the truth, that he pointed out the way to salvation and that those who follow his teachings will attain to a condition of eternal bliss. But did not Jesus Christ also teach the way? Now suppose I should follow the way pointed out by Jesus, would not my salvation be as perfectly assured as if I followed Islam? I ask with a desire to know the truth and not to dispute or argue. I am seeking the truth, not to defend my theory.
“I think I understand you to be a follower of the esoteric teachings of Muhammad, and not what is known to the masses of the people as Muhammadanism; that you recognise the truths that underlie all religions and not their exoteric features which have been added by men. I too regret very much that I cannot understand your language, nor you mine; for I feel quite assured that you could tell me many things which I much desire to know. “
In his reply, dated 4th April 1887, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad expresses his delight and satisfaction upon receiving Webb’s letter, and writes that:
” the object which I have in view for which I have dedicated the whole of my life [is] not to confine the spread of the light of truth to the oriental world but, as far as it lies in my power, to further it in Europe and America where the attention of the people has not been sufficiently attracted towards a proper understanding of the teachings of Islam. Therefore I consider it an honour to comply with your request.
“Your friendly words permit me to entertain the happy idea that I may soon receive the good news that the natural moral sense has attracted not only you but many other virtuous people of America towards the call of truth in order to find the true guidance.”

“””Some revelations indicate that the family into which I would marry would be a high and noble one. One revelation said: “God has provided you with a noble descent and has arranged your marriage in a noble family.” All this was communicated to Sharampat long before the event. He well knows that without any effort on my part God arranged this relationship in a high and noble family of Syeds and made provision for all connected matters and expense in such a
manner that I had not to undergo any trouble in that regard. What is more, He continues to fulfil this promise all through ”

About 1881 On one occasion, I received the following revelation in the
mosque about the time of ‘Asr:
[Urdu] I have determined to arrange another wedding for you. I will make all the
arrangements Myself and you will not be put to any trouble.
This was accompanied by a Persian couplet:
[Persian] I shall make all arrangements for your new wedding and shall provide all that you might need.
Some revelations indicated that the family into which I would marry would be high and noble. One revelation said that ‘God has provided you with a noble descent and has arranged your marriage in a noble family.’ All this was communicated to Lalah Sharampat long before the event. He well knows that, without any effort on my part, God arranged this relationship in a high and noble family… of Sayyeds and made provision for all connected matters and expense in such a manner that I did not undergo any trouble in that regard. To this day, He continues to fulfil this promise.

That is [Arabic] O fire of fever, cool down.
Then I saw in a dream that I had pulled him out of the grave. He was informed both of the revelations and of the dream before the events occurred.

“”””Baijnath Brahman son of Bhagt Ram was informed, on the basis of a vision, that in the space of a year he would be afflicted with some misfortune and there would also be an
occasion for joy. I obtained his signature to this prophecy, which I still have with me. Thereafter, within one year his father died at an early age. On the same day there was a happy occasion, that is, someone’s wedding was being celebrated.

“”””The real cause of worship of other deities and of belief in the doctrine of transmigration of souls is the denial of Divine attributes and considering God Almighty as disabled from exercising complete control over the universe. Since God’s wise and just attributes were supposed to have been suspended, other deities were invented for seeking fulfilment of needs, and natural changes and upsets were described as the consequence of deeds done in a previous existence. Thus, transmigration of souls and the worship of other deities resulted from
this one fundamental mistake.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ [Shahna-e-Haqq, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 2, pp. 428-429]. ((See Also Essence of Islam, vol. 1, page 114)).
“”””The reality of the Godhead of God Almighty is that He is a Being Who is the source of all grace and that all beings owe their origin to Him. That is why He is entitled to our worship and we accept with pleasure that He is entitled to possess our bodies and hearts and souls, inasmuch as we were nothing and He brought us into being. Thus, He Who brought us into being from nothingness is rightfully our Master.”

“I received your letter, dated 24 February 1887, which proved itself to be great delight to my heart and a satisfaction to my anxieties. The contents of the letter not only increased my love towards you that led me to the hope of a partial realisation of the object which I have in view for which I have dedicated the whole of my life viz, not to confine the spread of the light of truth to the oriental world but, as far as it lies in my power to further it in Europe, America, & Co. where the attention of the people has not been sufficiently attracted towards a proper understanding of the teachings of Islam.”
