Undated 165 making. What you should have done is explain to him what type of prophethood I claim. My belief is that the religion in which there is no propheth- ood is dead. When I say that the religion of the Jews, Christians, and Hindus is dead, I do so for this very reason that no Prophet comes among them now. If the condition of Islam were also to be the same, then we too would have been considered sto- rytellers. Why would we have considered Islam to be superior to other religions? There should be some distinguishing fea- ture. The coming of true dreams alone is not enough. These can be experienced by even the lowest ranks of people. There should be conversation, dialogue and that too such that it con- tains prophecies and occurs in abundance and is of the highest quality. Only a single couplet cannot make you a poet. Thus, if someone claims to be a Prophet based on only few dreams or revelations, he is a liar. I have been receiving revelation for years. And many Signs from Allah the Exalted have testified to the truthfulness of my revelations. This is precisely why I am a Prophet. There should not be any form of concealment in con- veying the message of Allah. The Pure Life of the Holy Prophet s as The Promised Messiah as said: The Aryas object that the life of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was not pure. This is a grave error of these people, because being pure or impure has much to do with the heart and the state of this is known to none other than Allah. Thus, he alone is pure about whom God testifies to his being pure. Look, Abu Jahl entered into a mubahalah [prayer duel]
