286 THE HOLY WAR يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَيَ اللهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَفِرُونَ 0 - 10/11 Meaning that: These people brag with their mouths that this faith will never be successful. Our hands will destroy this faith. But God will never let this religion go to waste and will not abandon it until He perfects it. Then, in another verse, He declares: وَعَدَ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا . . . الخ 218/13 That is to say, Allah has promised that in this religion will be born Khulafā' [Successors] after the Holy Prophetsas and that He will keep it established till the Day of Judgement. In other words, just as He kept on sending Khulafā' and kings in the faith of Mosesas for a long time, He would do the same here and He would not let it disappear. Now, the Holy Quran is here and there are memorizers of the Holy Quran present as well. Just look with what confidence the claims were made by the disbelievers that this religion would cer- tainly disappear and that we would make it non-existent and against their claims are the prophecies present in the Holy Quran which state that this faith would never be destroyed; nay rather, it would grow into a large tree and would spread, there being kings in it, as is indicated in this verse: 326/12- گزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْعَهُ 1. Sūrah at-Taubah, 9:32 [Publisher] 2. Sūrah an-Nūr, 24:56 [Publisher] 3. Like unto a seed-produce that sends forth its sprout (Sūrah al-Fath, 48:30). [Publisher]
