S u rah al-Baqarah, Chapter 2, Verses 285-287 275 who have become purified both in belief and in deeds, thus fulfilling the object for which the Prophet for whom Abraham as had prayed was to make his appearance. Good deeds are indeed the principle means for the attainment of purification, but they have their origin in the purity of the heart, which can be attained only by holding true beliefs. Hence the verse details the fundamental points of belief which the Holy Prophet sa taught his followers, i. e. , belief in God and His angels and His Books and His Messengers, mentioned in their natural order. Among the points of belief detailed here, one is that true believers say, We make no distinction between any of His Messengers. This means that true believers should accept all the Messengers of God, without exception, and should make no distinction between them by accepting some and rejecting others. There is in this food for thought for those Muslims who reject the Promised Messiah as , Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement whom God raised in fulfillment of the prophecies of the Holy Prophet sa and who came to demonstrate the truth of Islam by cogent reasons and powerful Signs.
