Fazle Umar 268 “Listen with your ears wide open, you and your accomplices could never compete with Mirza Mahmud till resurrection. Mirza Mahmud has the Qur’an with him, and a deep knowledge of the Qur’an, What have you got? … You have never read the Qur’an even in your dreams. ” 127 On his death, in a condolence note written in Sidq-e-Jadid, Lucknow, it was mentioned: “May Allah reward the Imam Jama’at Ahmadiyya’s (Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood) effort towards world-wide publication of the Holy Qur’an and its wisdom and also for the propagation of Islam in all the corners of the Earth and in lieu of this let us overlook all other matters. The learned manner in which he has inter- preted in detail, the truth and wisdom of the Holy Qur’an was really unique. ” 128 The new definition of the wisdom of the Holy Qur’an, written in his Tafseer Kabeer, bears undeniable evidence of the truth and validity of Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood’s [ra] claim. The age became convinced of the superiority of his Quranic knowledge. One cannot elaborate on all the aspects of the services for the Holy Qur’an rendered by Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra]. Hence, we will briefly touch upon some aspects of how he occupied himself with this task. H I S L I F E w AS T H E H OL y Q U R ’ A n Those who knew him testify to the truth of the claim that his sitting, standing, walking, talking, his every gesture was completely in unison with the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. His conversation, his speeches and all his writings were a commentary of the Holy Qur’an. If one studies Huzur’s books from this point of view, one appreci- ates that not a single book was penned by Huzur whose topic did not spring from the Holy Qur’an. He delivered masterly and instructive speeches for hours without interruption.
