53 The Elevated and Superb Magnificence of the Holy Quran as viewed by the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at he expression Khaatamun Nabiyyeen applied to the Holy Prophet sa , demands that the Book that was revealed to him, should be the most perfect of all books and should comprise all excellences; and indeed so it is. The rule is that whatever degree of spiritual power and inner perfection is possessed by the person upon whom the Word of God descends, the same degree of power and majesty is possessed by that word. As the spiritual power and inner perfection of the Holy Prophet sa were of the highest degree, which no one ever exceeded or will exceed, therefore the Holy Quran occupies that high station and rank which has not been reached by any of the previous Books and Scriptures. The capacity and spiritual power of the Holy Prophet sa were the highest possible, and all excellences had reached their climax in him. Therefore, the Holy Quran that was revealed to him is also perfect and as the excellences of Prophethood reached perfection in him, so did the miracle of the divine word reach their perfection in the Holy Quran. Thus he was the Khaatamun Nabiyyeen and his Book was the Khaatamul Kutub. From the point of view of every aspect of a miraculous word, the Holy Quran is at the highest point of excellence. The perfection of the Holy Quran is seen and its miraculous character is proved from every point of view, that is to say, from the points of view of excellence of composition, of the sequence of its subjects, of its teaching and its perfection and of the fruits of its teaching. That is why the Holy Quran has not demanded its match from any particular point of view, but has issued a general challenge demanding a match from any point of view. From whichever point of view it is looked at, it is a miracle. " [Malfoozaat, vol. II, pp. 26-27] "T
