| Description: |
This book, internationally recognized as one of the most authoritative and objective
studies of the Bible, was originally written in Arabic under the title Izhar-ul-Haq
(Truth Revealed) by the distinguished 19th century Indian scholar, Rahmatullah
Kairanvi, and appeared in 1864. The book was subsequently translated into Urdu,
and then from Urdu into English by Mohammad Wali Raazi.
Rahmatullah Kairanvi wrote
the book in response to the Christian offensive against Islam during the
British rule in India, and specifically to counter the subversive attack
made by the Rev. C. C. P. Fonder. Rev. Fonder had written a book in Urdu
entitled Meezanul Haq, the open intention of which was to create doubts
into the minds of the Muslims about the authenticity of the Qur’an
and Islam.
Kairanvi’s intention in his book was first of all to show that the Bible
cannot in any way be considered as a directly revealed book. He does this very
effectively by means of his voluminous and authoritative knowledge of the Jewish
and Christian scriptures. He demonstrates beyond doubt that the Books of the
Old and New Testaments have been altered, almost beyond recognition, from their
original forms. The work is even more notable in the light of subsequent Jewish
and Christian scholarship and the various discoveries that have since been
made in this field which all bear out the truth of Kairanvi’s thesis.
