Refuting an Allegation

Hazrat Musleh Maud (ra) has mentioned this whilst refuting the allegation of the disbelievers, which has been mentioned in the Holy Quran, in that they would allege that the Holy Prophet (sa) composed the Quran with the help of slaves or other people. One answer to this allegation is that these very slaves faced hardships and persecution due to their conversion to Islam. Thus, did these slaves help the Holy Prophet (sa) in order to be afflicted by hardships? Moreover, they not only helped him secretly, but they also helped him openly as well and then endured all the hardships and persecution with steadfastness.

Hazrat Musleh Maud (ra) has explained that this allegation was completely baseless. It was the faith of those believers in the Holy Prophet (sa) and God Almighty that kept them steadfast. They learnt Islam from the Holy Prophet (sa) and believed in the revelation from Allah the Almighty. Nonetheless, this was the background to the aforementioned extract.
