The Essence of Islam – Volume I — Page 471
The Holy Qur'an is not contained in the Qur'an. 471 A strong argument in support of the need of the Holy Qur'an is that all the previous Books beginning with the Torah and ending with the Gospel are addressed to a par- ticular people, namely, the children of Israel and state in clear words that the directions contained in them are not for the general benefit, and are limited to the children of Israel. But the Holy Qur'an aims at the reform of the whole world and is not addressed to any particular people but states plainly that it has been revealed for the benefit of the whole of mankind and that the reform of everyone is its purpose. [Kitab-ul-Bariyyah, Rūņānī Khazā'in, Vol. 13, pp. 83-85] The Holy Qur'an vs. the Gospels (Urdū Poem) O Christians! Come this way; See the light of the True God, and find the true path. Can you show us in the Gospels The numberless qualities present in the Qur'an? Remember! There is the Creator above you, Do not just go about misleading His creation. How long will you continue to love falsehood, Do try truthfulness for a change. People! Have some fear of God, Have some modesty before Him. The pleasures and delights of this life are not forever; Dears! This is not a place to live in forever. No one has ever stayed here forever. Nor is this an eternal world. . . . My dear people, listen! Without the Qur'an, Man can never find the True God.
