34 Mahzarnama comprehensive beauty. He presented, in his books, the exegesis of the Verse of Khaatamun Nabiyyeen in the light of the Holy Quran in such a manner that each portion of it irresistibly draws one to the glory of faith and depth of perception. How convincing and majestic are the terms in which he declared that Our God is a living God; our Book, the Holy Quran is a living Book, and our Prophet, Hadhrat Khaatamun Nabiyyeen , Muhammad sa , the chosen one, is a living Prophet. It was he who introduced this terminology among the Muslims for the first time and, in so doing, introduced the devoted followers of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa to the truly genuine concept of the Finality of the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. The three issues, (i) belief in Allah, (ii) belief in the Holy Quran, and (iii) belief in the Holy Prophet sa , are inextricably interwoven. So the beliefs and views of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at about any one of these topics, to the exclusion of any of the other inevitably related topics, cannot be judiciously treated. Therefore, before we focus on his concept and belief concerning the Finality of Prophethood, we will have to necessarily examine his faith in, and beliefs and ideas about, the existence of God and in regard to the Holy Quran. Otherwise, one's comprehension of his vision of the Finality of Prophethood would remain imperfect. Now we begin by presenting some excerpts from the writings of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at on the subject of the existence of God which, God willing, will help simplify the topic of the Finality of Prophethood for one's ease of comprehension.
