To charge me with having claimed to be a Prophet on my own is the height of folly and ignorance and is utterly opposed to the truth. O' ignorant people, my claim to Prophethood does not mean that, God forbid, I claim to be a. Prophet as against the Holy Prophets, or that I claim to have brought a new Shariah.
