Hazrat Hafiz Ghulam Rasool Wazirabadi sahib (ra): He wrote that following his Bai’at many people became his enemies and someone mentioned his unpopularity to an aristocratic person Raja sahib, who asked what was the basis of the enmity. Raja sahib said ask Hafiz sahib to come and say that he accepted the Ra’fe (exaltation) of Jesus (as) as it states in the Qur’an and also mention the advent of Jesus as Ahadith state. An announcement was made in the city and thousands of people from all sects gathered. Hafiz sahib knew what he had to say and also knew no one would understand him, apart from perhaps one of his relatives. Raja sahib asked Hafiz sahib did he accept ‘exalting’ of Jesus and his advent and he replied that indeed he did. He said if people quietened down he would explain. He then said that he accepted the ‘exaltation’ of Jesus (as) as stated in the Qur’an and the advent of Jesus (as) as stated in Ahadith. A loud cry of acclaim rose from the crowd and Hakeem sahib left. Hakeem sahib felt that someone had told Raja sahib that Hakeem sahib had managed to pull the wool over their eyes. Next day after Fajr a man came from Raja sahib and said that Raja sahib and the others were not satisfied with his response about the ‘exaltation’ and advent matter. Hakeem sahib asked what would satisfy them. The man said that he called Mirza sahib a Kafir. Hakeem sahib asked why should he call him a Kafir and the answer was because the Maulwis did. Hakeem sahib replied, ‘because the Maulwis call Mirza sahib Kafir, I also say Kafir.’ By this his intent was that he called the Maulvis Kafir. When the messenger went back and related what had happened it was opined that Hakeem sahib had once again pulled the wool over their eyes. The man was sent one more time and asked to get it in writing that Hakeem sahib considered Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, God forbid, a Kafir. Two days had passed and Hakeem sahib felt courage of conviction and told the runner that what he had said was correct that he considered them Kafir who called Mirza sahib Kafir. They were disappointed at this. Hakeem sahib quoted the Qur’anic verse at this point: ‘…This day have those who disbelieve despaired of harming your religion. So fear them not, but fear Me…’ (5:4)
Hakeem sahib wrote that following this, court cases were brought against him and those from whom he never expected falsehood gave false statements to the court against him. Hakeem sahib wrote that when he mentioned this incident to the Promised Messiah (as) he laughed and said to conceal one’s faith to prevent disorder and chaos has a station as it is stated in the Qur’an,
