| | Chapter# 11: The Qadi and Sheikh Ali Converse |
 | | The Qadi, depressed at the success with which Sheikh Ali and his companions had defended their position, retired to his chamber, and kept thinking about the discussion, the strength of the Christian arguments, and ease with which those of his own party had been put aside. |
 | | He used, he said, himself to have the same ideas as the Qadi, and did not yield to him in pressing them upon learned Christians, as an unconquerable proof of Islam, until the veil fell from his eyes, and he found he had been, as it were, wandering in a maze. |
 | | The Qadi at last agreed that the Quran, as a mere composition, could not be considered a miracle; but still argued that its elevated teaching and sentiment altogether surpassed the range and ability of the men of the time. |
