This Novel is very over-rated. It is full of stereotypes and prejudice against Ahmedies or Qadianies. It promotes hate and instills religious extremism in hearts. It is also not realistic as it doesn't portray reality. It compels rational thought to be subdued to faith. It gives more preference to Islamic believes than intellect. It is an attempt to show intelligence as an inferior thing. It has become a custom to do so.
