21 prophets. ” God Himself has testified on his behalf saying: “And surely thou does possess the most excellent, the sublimest human morals (68:5). ” The Arabic for sublimest is ‘A zi m. This, in Arabic idiom, is a superlative signifying the utmost limits of something, some quality, its most perfect manifestation. As for as human excellence and human character are concerned, these in their perfection and in their totality belong to the person of Muhammad sa , higher praise than this is inconceivable. To this, we have reference in another verse pertaining to the Holy Prophet sa , which says: “And great (meaning greatest possible) is the grace of All a h upon thee (4:114). ” According to this, the Holy Prophet sa received the Grace of All a h in the largest measure. No other prophet comes anywhere near him in this respect. The same high praise is contained in Pslams (45:7) in a prophecy about the Holy Prophet sa which says: “Therefore, God, thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy fellows. ” Impact The impact of the Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah was so electrifying that it at once checked the advance of all movements, like the Brahm u and the A ryah Sam a j, and for a time, it paralysed the activities of all anti- Isl a mic forces. The Muslims of India had at last found that there was among them a great giant of Islam, who had the determination and courage to demolish with conviction and logic the attacks on Islam by various movements in India. The publication of this book came as a rude shock to Christians and the A ryah Sam a jists, who thought that the days of the glory of Islam were over and they would have an easy walk over. The approach of Hadrat Ahmad as was so effective that while defending Islam against all attacks, he demolished the very foundations and basis on which the A ryah Sam a j and the Christian movements were flourishing.
