164 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad peace be upon him; then there are those who come to revive the law, as was the case with Jesus, peace be upon him. In this context, we believe that our Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, brought a perfect law, and he was the Seal of Prophethood. Therefore, the capacities and abilities of the people in that era brought the institution of prophethood to its final point of perfection. Hence, after the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, we do not believe that any new law can ever be established. Indeed, just as our Prophet of God, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was the likeness of Moses as , in the same manner it was destined for the Promised Messiah, who was to be the seal in the dispensa- tion of Prophet Muhammad sa —occupying the station of the Seal of Caliphs—to appear in the likeness of the Messiah, peace be upon him. As such, I am that Seal of the Caliphs and the Promised Messiah. Just as the Messiah, peace be upon him, did not bring a divine law, and instead came to revive the Mosaic law, in the same manner, I too have not come with a new law. My heart cannot accept in the least that after the Holy Quran any new religious law would be justified, because the Holy Quran is a perfect law and the Seal of the Books. God Almighty has raised me to rejuvinate the law of Muhammad sa and has raised me in this century as the Seal of the Caliphs. The revelations which I receive from God Almighty, which are always published and circulated to hundreds and thousands of people, and which are preserved, will never be wasted and shall remain behind after I depart. The Most Effective Manner in which to Propagate Religion Question: In your view, what is the best method of propagating religion? Answer: In my view, the most effective manner in which to propagate religion is for it to enter one’s heart naturally, on account of its merits and beauty, without any external efforts. For example, there are certain things which are naturally visible due to their own light, such as the sun, moon, stars, etc. Then, there are other things which we cannot see without the afore- mentioned sources of light. For example, we cannot see beasts and birds, and other creatures, unless there is light. Hence, a true religion is naturally discernible; it enters the soul by itself and draws in the hearts of people with its brilliance, and with the light of its divine nature and truth. This is why I stated earlier that a teaching is a magnificent sign. A religion that is not supported by the sign of a true teaching, can impress no positive influence p. 148
