258 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1 كَثِيْرًا فِيْهِ اخْتِلَافًا لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اهللِ لَوَجَدُوْا Had it been from anyone other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much disagreement. The fact that the Holy Quran is free from contradiction has been put forth as an argument that it is from Allah. However, by failing to distinguish between nar- ratives and points of guidance, these unwise people present the Holy Quran in a way so that it seems full of contradiction and appears that it is ِ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اهلل ( From someone other than Allah). Their wisdom is pitiable indeed! One ought to ask these people: do points of guidance take precedence or narra- tives? If a contradiction exists between the two, which shall be given preference? Allah the Exalted states again and again that those who die, do not return. There is a Hadith in Tirmidhi that a companion of the Holy Prophet sa was martyred. The companion submitted: ‘O Lord! Send me back to the world. ’ On this, God Almighty responded, by saying: ْ قَد ْ سَبَق َ الْقَوْل ُ مِنِّی My word has already gone forth. 2 َ يَرْجِعُوْن قَرْيَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَاۤ اَنَّهُمْ لَا حَرٰمٌ عَلٰى It is an inviolable law for a township which We have destroyed that they shall not return. Now we have the Holy Quran and the clear words of the blessed Hadith are present in the form of a commentary. In comparison to this, what value can an imaginary and hypothetical tale possess in this respect? I ask, what more do the people want? I present the Quran and the Hadith. Furthermore, sound intellect and experience also supports my view. If I was presenting a self-invented idea, people could have put forth a narrative, but in this case, I am presenting a point of guidance from the Holy Quran and a Hadith in support. What more do the people seek? 3 ُ الضَّلٰل بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ اِلَّا ذَا فَمَا So what would you have after discarding the truth except error? 1 an-Nisa, 4:83 2 al-Anbiya, 21:96 3 Yunus , 10:33
