! ! 24 “ And if he had forged and attributed any sayings to U s. We would, surely, have seized him by the right hand. And then, surely, We would have severed his life - artery. And not one of you could have held Our punishment off from him. ” (Holy Qur’ān Ch. 69: V. 45 - 48) The verse states, ‘ If he had made a false claim, We would have seized him and destroyed him; We would have severed his life - vein. ’ This is a proof of the truthfulness of the Holy Prophet sa , put forth by God. If this is a proof of the truthfulness of the Holy Prophet sa , why can it not prove the truthfulness of the Promised Messiah as ? You do not need much knowledge to comprehend this. I t is easy and obvious. Revelations Similarly, there are those who say that God Almighty once communicated with those close to Him , but He no longer speaks. The response to this statement is also very simple. Has the God who spoke until now become mute ( n a’ozo billah ) ? O r has He now , for some reason , lost the ability to speak? If this is not the case, then He should continue to listen as He did and He should continue to see as He did in the past. If He once spoke , but no longer does so then on e could also assume that God Almighty could once see , but no longer has sight ; that He once could hear, but no longer can listen, to the extent that God Almighty was initially a living God, but now is no longer a live. Are these ideas believable? Absolutely not! So, i t can be established that as God Almighty spoke and communicated to His people in former days, He continues to do so.
