I am fully convinced that it is the Powerful God Who has manifested Himself to me and Who has enlightened me of His existence and His Word and His work. I fully believe that the manifestations of His power which I see, and the knowledge of the hidden that He discloses to me, and the Strong Hand from which I receive help at every time of danger; are all the attributes of the Perfect and True God Who created Adamas, and appeared to Noahas, and showed the miracle of the flood, and helped Moses as when Pharaoh was about to destroy him, is the same God Who bestowed complete victory on Muḥammad, Chief of the Messengers, guarding him against the designs of the disbelievers and the pagans. This same God has manifested Himself to me in these latter days. [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyyah, Part V, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 21, pp. 296-298]. What is true light? It is that which descends from heaven in the guise of convincing signs and bestows comfort and satisfaction on the hearts. This light is needed by everyone who is desirous of obtaining salvation; for he who is not free from doubt is not free from the possibility of chastisement. He who is too unfortunate to see God in this world will also fall into darkness on the Day of Judgement, as He says: 88 مَنْ كَانَ فِي هَذِةٍ أَعْمَى فَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَى. God has indicated many times in His book that He shall enlighten with His signs the hearts of those 88 Whoso is blind in this world will be blind in the hereafter. -Banī. Isrā'il, 17:73 [Publisher]
