Anti-Ahmadiyya Preaching
Shah was settled in Hijaz by the end of nineteenth century; Muhajir Makki of Mecca appointed him to go back to India and to fight the new movement of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. So he returned and campaigned against the Ahmadiyya, writing books such as Saif e Chistiya which was critical of the movement. Shah also challenged Ahmad to a public debate in Lahore. Ahmad had previously challenged him in writing a commentary about the Quran.

Famous quotes containing the word preaching:
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
