Blessings of Prayer — Page 63
28 Announcement 29 Being inspired and commanded by God, I have undertaken the compilation of a book named Bar a h i n- e-Ahmadiyya , with the object of reforming and reviving the religion, and have offered a reward of rupees 10,000 to anyone who would prove the arguments brought forward therein to be false. My object in this book is to show that the only true and the only revealed religion, by means of which one might know God to be free from blemish, and obtain a strong conviction as to the perfection of His attrib- utes, is the religion of Islam, in which the blessings of truth shine forth like the sun, and the impress of veracity is as vividly bright as daylight. All other 28 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. O Allah, send down Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon the progeny of Muhammad, who is the most exalted of Messengers and the Seal of Prophets.
