124 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad always been a follower of the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet sas , and whom I love dearly, was a firm believer in the Oneness of God. He would always keep himself distanced from innovations in the faith and self-invented beliefs. He would say in relation to these statements that if they are in harmony with the Quran, what can one say? So to continue, he would say that the wondrous feats and mira - cles of saints are actually like the miracles of the Prophets, peace be upon them. Therefore, this is a miracle of the Quran. The fact of the matter is that the mira - cles that one is given after following the Sunnah in letter and spirit are actually the miracles of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and the Holy Quran. If now the door to these wonders and miracles is closed, this would, God forbid, be a great dishonour to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Allah the Exalted addressed the Holy Prophet sas and said: 1 ََرَ ُث َْوْ ُك ْلْ َٰكَ ا ْن َْيْ ْط ْ ِع َ ا ۤ ا ََِّن ا Surely We have given thee abundance of good. This statement was made at a time when some disbeliever mockingly said to the Holy Prophet sas that he had no children. One cannot be sure as to whether the opponent used the word abtar so as to provoke the following response from Allah Almighty that 2 ُ ِر َْتَ َب َ َ اْلْا ْو ُ ْه ََِئََك َّن َ َشَا َن ِ ا meaning, your opponent is the one who shall remain without progeny. Those who appear in a spiritual manner will be deemed the progeny of the Holy Prophet sas ; they will be the inheritors of his knowledge and blessings, and partake thereof. Allah the Exalted states: 3 َٖنَ ْيّ ِ ْب َ ْلْن َ ا ُم َ َّت ِ َوَ َخَا ُهلل ُْوَْلَ ا َس َ ُر ْ ُن ِ ُك ٰ ْل ََو ْ ُم ُِكُ ْل َا ْج ِ ُر ْ ُن ِ َم ٍ ْد َ ُح َ ا ۤ ا ََبَ ا ٌ ْد َ َم َ ْح ُ َم َنَ َمَا َكَا Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Now, read the earlier verse along with the one just quoted above and the reality becomes clear. If the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 1 al-Kauthar , 108:2 2 al-Kauthar , 108:4 3 al-Ahzab , 33:41 p. 396 ََرَ ُث َْوْ ُك َْٰكَ ْل ْن َْيْ ْط ْ ِع َ ۤ ََِّن َ ُم ِْيْ ْق َُْسَْت َم َِْرََطَ ْل ْلَص َ َّن ِ ْد ِْهْ َ ْي ْ َّن ُ ْلْد ِ ْوٍة ٰ ْي َ ْح ْْل ِ َف ٰ َر ُْشْ ْب ُُْمُ ْل ِه َ ْل
