127 critics who shut their eyes and level allegations fail to realise that even if all the miracles of all the Prophets of the world were compared to the miracles of the Holy Prophet sa , I can honestly say that the miracles of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would prove to be greater. Irrespective of the fact that the Holy Quran is replete with prophecies of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, which extend not only to the Day of Resurrection, but even speak of events after that time, the strongest evi- dence in support of his prophecies is that in every era there is someone present to provide living proof of his prophecies. As such, in this era, Allah the Exalted has raised me as a sign, and has bestowed upon me the magnificent sign of prophe- cies, so that I may show those who are ignorant of divine verities and deprived of divine insight, the perpetual and everlasting nature of the miracles of our Mes- senger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as clearly as the light of day. Prophet Muhammad sa Is the Only Living Messenger Until the End of Time Is there anyone from among the remaining Jews belonging to the Children of Israel, or anyone from among the Christians, who calls upon the Messiah saying: ‘O Lord! O Lord!’ who can contend with me in these signs? I loudly proclaim that there is no one. Not even one. This is a proof of the power of our Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to show miracles that display divine power. For it is an accepted principle that miracles manifested at the hands of a follower are deemed to be miracles of the Prophet who is their Master. Therefore, the extraordinary signs that have been given to me, and the magnificent sign of prophecies that has been bestowed upon me, are actually fresh and living miracles of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. No follower of any other Prophet has been blessed with the honour of being able to claim that even today, they can show miracles due to the spiritual influence of the Prophet who is their chief. This honour is reserved for Islam alone and this very fact es- tablishes that only Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, can be deemed to be the living Messenger who shall remain until the end of time. Moreover, it is through the blessings of his pious followers and his own spiritual influence that in every era, a man of God shows the counte- nance of God to the people.
