28 The Promised Messiah as , addressing those who believed that the treasures of Divine knowledge con- tained in the Holy Quran had been fully discovered and made known by those who had gone before, says: 'Know, therefore, that the open miracle of the Holy Quran which can be demonstrated to the people of all nations and all tongues, and whereby we can convince and confute every person, whether an Indian, Persian, European, American or other, is that it is a limitless treasure of Divine truths and realities, heavenly sciences and spiritual philosophies, which are discovered in it in every age according to the needs of mankind, and which, like armed soldiers, stand ever ready to combat every new falsehood. If the Holy Quran had been limited in its meaning and interpretation, it could not be regarded as a perfect miracle. Mere beauty of diction and purity of language, even if miracles, are not matters which can be appreciated by the literate and illiterate alike. The greatest miracle of the Holy Quran is, that its treasures are inexhausti- ble, and a person, who does not perceive this mira- cle, is entirely shut out from real knowledge of the Holy Quran. Remember that this miracle of the Holy Quran is so perfect that it has in every age proved more potent than the sword. The Holy Quran contains a full and complete refutation of every doubt which is suggested by each succeed- ing age under the ever-changing conditions of the world, and a reply to every criticism which may be based on new knowledge and new discoveries.
