116 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad َ َوْم ي ُمُ الْ ك ْ ي تَثْرِیْبَ عَلَ لَا No blame shall lie on you this day. And with these words, he released them without any punishment. I believe in the Messiah as and love him, however, I have no choice but to state that he never possessed power or authority over his opponents and therefore, never received the opportunity to first gain ascendancy over his enemies and then demonstrate his good morals. We do not know how he would have acted, if he was faced with similar circumstances. A true Muslim is one who treats others with sympathy. I am determined to do two things. Firstly, to pray for my community. Although, I always pray for my community, but what I mean to say is that I am in search of an opportunity where I am able to pray with extreme fervour. Secondly, I would like to write a summary of the Holy Quran for them. A Miracle of the Holy Quran The Holy Quran contains everything, but until one possesses insight, nothing can be derived from it. When a person who studies the Holy Quran moves on into the next year and looks back in retrospect, they feel as though they were a student at the elementary level, because this is the Word of God Almighty and so it develops a person accordingly as well. I disapprove of people who state that the Holy Quran is a book of varying interpretations, for they dishonour the Holy Quran. One ought to say that the Holy Quran encompasses diverse insights. Every part of it is full of countless insights, and one point of wisdom does not contradict the other. However, personalities that are predisposed to impatience, enmity and anger have no affinity with the Holy Quran, nor is the Holy Quran opened to such people. It is my intention to prepare a commentary which exhibits the breadth of meaning in the Holy Quran. Mere intelligence and belief are not sufficient for salvation, until they are manifested in a practical light. Words empty of action are worthless. One ought to believe in the Holy Quran in such a manner that they truly accept it to be a miracle; and one ought to possess such a relation- ship with God as if one can see Him. Until the people develop these qualities, I will have formed no community at all. If a person errs and opposes me in a certain respect on the basis of a misunderstanding, I am not one to be offended, because I know that the weak deserve mercy.
