198 Quranic verses. The Holy Quran came to bear witness to earlier scriptures, not vice versa. We do not need the testimony of scrip - tures that contradict the Holy Quran. Instead, we need to under - stand the Holy Quran in the light of the Holy Quran itself. We should seek its meaning from within it, not outside of it. The Promised Messiah as also proved that the Holy Quran is a perfectly ordered and coherent Scripture. There is nothing ran - dom about its contents. From the very first letter to the last, its chapters and verses are organised in such an excellent and natural order that anyone who ponders over them is bound to go into ecstasy. The reader will not find such delight in the writing of any human being. Those who believe that the Holy Quran is a com - posite of random stories and topics have no insight into this peer - less Scripture. They merely pride themselves on their ignorance and trust their lack of knowledge and draw false conclusions. The Promised Messiah as demonstrated the perfect order of the Holy Quran with many examples and left the world marvelling. The Promised Messiah as also cited his own experience to refute the notion that God no longer speaks to man. He said that Divine attributes are never left in abeyance. If God sees and lis - tens, as He did in the past, how come he has now stopped speak - ing? The Shariah is one thing and Divine revelation quite another. Revelation is an expression of God being pleased with His serv - ant. To say that revelation has come to an end means that all the paths that lead to Divine approbation have been blocked. The truth is that the Divine word can never cease. As long as there are human beings in the world and as long as there are people who strive with sincerity for the realization of Divine pleasure and act on the teaching of Islam, God’s Word will continue to be revealed.
