Proceedings—Debate 22 May 1893 11 دمیع تسس اور وگاہ تسچ [While the witness shows great enthusiasm, the plaintiff remains silent]. This must be especially so in the case of Allah, the Lord of Glory, who is Mighty and Omnipotent and possesses the most extensive knowledge of the highest possible degree. Whichever Book we ascribe to Him, that Book should sustain itself on its own. It should be pure and free of all human weaknesses; for, if it needs the support of someone else for its claim or is found wanting in providing the proofs of its claims, then it can never be the Word of God. Again, it should be kept in mind that our only purpose at this moment is that when the Noble Quran has made the claim of compre- hensiveness and completeness for its teachings, this very claim must also be asserted by that part of the Gospel which is ascribed to the Messiah, peace be upon him. Or, at the very least, it should be that the Messiah as declares his teaching to be final and complete and not leave us waiting upon some occasion in the future. Note This question had been written to this point when the other party insisted that Question Number Two be addressed at some other occa- sion. At present, the question should be raised concerning the Divinity of the Messiah, and so because of their insistence, this question, which was not yet final and complete, was left at this same stage and the remaining part of it shall be published later.
