He invited all the great religious scholars of his time to match their understanding of the Holy Book against his. He suggested that an arbitrator draw a passage out of the Holy Book and hand it to him and to whoever comes forward to compete with him. The two should then write a commentary on the verses that conforms to the latest advances in knowledge. In the end, the arbitrator should decide who had been helped by God in this writing. Despite repeated calls, no one dared take up the challenge. Nor could they do so, for they cannot even compete with his followers when it comes to knowledge of the Holy Quran. It would appear that the Holy Quran now exclusively belongs to us. Before concluding this topic, I will produce here a few Persian verses of the Promised Messiah as in which he invites people towards the delights of the Holy Quran: دم�ی�دہ افص حبص رقٓان ِ اپک ونر از وز�ی�دہ ِ ابص ابد داہل اہےئ ہچنغ رب The holy light of the Quran has ushered in the dawn of a bright morning, The fresh morning breeze is blowing over the blossoms of the heart. ں روینش و اعملں سمش ا ٰیحضل دنارد ی � ا یں دربلی و وخیب سک در رمق دن�ی�دہ � وا No one has witnessed such light, such brilliance, even in the midday sun, Nor has anybody beheld such charm and beauty in any moon - lit night.
