Actually, the first 2 articles published under the headings of "Atheism: Introduction and History" and "The polytheism of the Polytheists in Holy Prophet's Age" provide solid intellectual arguments for the eradication of atheistic and polytheistic ideas from human society.

Qadiani's claims about Imam Mahdi (as) in the 3rd article and it is proved that his claims are baseless and contrary to the established Islamic beliefs.

The 5th article entitled as "Reaction to Hali’s Thought: Religious & Literal Factors" examines the thought formation process of Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali.
