BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part three 242 Messiah, containing truths that the Messiah had omitted, and giving news of the future that the Messiah failed to explain so that such a book can be compared with the Holy Quran. It does not behove you, however, to call yourselves followers of the Messiah and yet declare as perfect something which he had declared imperfect 1,882 years ago. If you do not believe the word of the Messiah, and wish to compare the Gospels with the Holy Quran yourself, you are most welcome to produce from the Gospels the excellences that I have demonstrated with regard to the Holy Quran in this book. Honest people will then judge for themselves which of the two—the Holy Quran or the Gospels—is the true source of divine enlightenment. Since I have issued a challenge with a reward of ten thousand rupees, so as to arrive at a clear distinction between the Gospels and the Holy Quran, if you fail to demonstrate, like a truthful person, the excellences of your scriptures as against our Book, no sensible Christian will believe you in his heart even though he may apparently nod with approval. But rest assured, gentlemen!! That neither the Gospels nor the Torah can compete with the excellences of the Holy Quran. We need not go far: Let us examine these scriptures with respect to the two excellences of the Holy Quran that I have so far mentioned in this book. The first, which is recorded in the main body of the text, is that the Holy Quran is the repository of all divine truths, and no scholar can produce a single subtle point of theology that is not already present in the Holy Quran. If your Gospels have any merit, then it is incumbent upon you to rationally refute the arguments and doctrines of any of your opponents, such as Brahm u Sam a jists, A ryah Sam a jists or atheists, on its basis, and thus defeat—with rational arguments derived from your Gospels—the propaganda they have spread all over the country. Then compare the Gospels with the Holy Quran and ask a third party which of them, the Gospels or the Holy Quran, is truly convincing. The second area of comparison is the one I have detailed in
