70 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad It is this very point, which is a middle state between Allah and the creation, which represents the spiritual station of our Chief, Muhammad, the Chosen One, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Moreover, since the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would receive from God and convey to mankind, this is why he is named Qasim (the one who distributes). ” Uniformity in the Apparent Form of the Universe The Promised Messiah as said: “God Almighty has vested in the apparent form of the universe evidence of His Oneness. The form of the universe is spherical in nature: water, the stars, fire and so on, all of these things are round. A sphere is characterised by oneness in view of the fact that it has no specific orientation. Hence, this is evidence of the Oneness of God in the outward form of the uni - verse. If you observe a droplet of water, it will appear round. So too is the case with the celestial bodies and with fire. If someone asserts, while referring to the apparent state of fire, that it is not round in nature, they would be mistaken. It is an accepted fact that a flame is actually round in shape, but the air disperses it. Even the Christians accept that where the concept of trinity is unheard of, or in other words, in such places where the Trinity has not been preached, the people of such lands will be questioned according to belief in the Oneness of God because the form of the universe furnishes evidence of God’s Oneness. If there had been three gods, it was necessary for all things to have been triangular in form. The spherical nature of the form present in the universe also establishes that the chain begins with Adam and finishes at Adam. For the circumference of a circle ends at its initial starting point. This is why God has given the name Adam to the Promised Messiah, who is the Seal of the Caliphs. As such, it is recorded in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya: ََٰدََم َا ُ َت َْقْ ٰل ََخَ ِف ََِف ٰل ْ َخ َ ِت ْ ُس ََاَْنْ َا ُ � ِت ْ َد َاََرَ I decided to appoint a vicegerent so I created Adam. Since the Promised Messiah is a new Adam, so too, the Satan that opposes him is different in kind. ” 1 1 Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 42, dated 17 November 1901, pp. 1-3 ٌ ٌق َ ْح َ ْل َِّٗنَٗه ِِْض ُر َ َْوَ ْل ِ ََمَٓا ْلْس ِ ُب َ ُر َ ْو ََْنَ َف َو ُ ْد َ ِع ُْوْ َّت ََوَ َم ْ ُم ُُْقُُك َز ِ ُر ِ ََمَٓا ْلْس ْي َِوَ ِف َِْيَْن ْح ِ ُل ٰ ْلَص َ ٰل َ ْو ََتَ ُي َ ْو ُ ْه َوَ ً ْج ََٗهٗ َمَْخَْر ْل َْْل ُع ْ َج َ ُي َ ُهلل ِ ٌق َ َت َ ُي ْ ُن َمَ
