Our Teaching — Page 20
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as 20 1. Elevated Position of the Holy Quran I have heard that some among you completely reject the hadith. Those who hold this opinion are grossly mistaken. I have never taught such a doctrine. On the contrary, it is my belief that there are three components, which God has bestowed on you for your guidance. First and foremost is the Quran, which elaborates on the Oneness, Glory and Greatness of God and resolves disputes between the Jews and Christians. For example, it settles the differ- ence and misconception of whether or not Jesus, son of Mary, died an accursed death on the cross, and whether he was ever spirit- ually exalted thereafter, as all other Prophets were. Further, the Quran forbids the worship of anything besides God—whether man, beast, moon, sun, star, material provisions or one’s own ego. So beware and do not take a single step contrary to the teaching of God and the guidance of the Quran. I tell you truly that anyone who disregards even a small injunction of the seven hundred com- mandments of the Quran, shuts upon himself the door of salva- tion. The ways of true and perfect salvation have been opened by the Quran and all else is its reflection. Therefore, study the Quran with deep contemplation and hold it very dear. Love it more than anything else. God has said to me: ِ اَلْخَیْر ُ کُلُّہ ٗ فِی الْقُرْاٰن Meaning, all good is contained in the Quran. This is the truth. Pity those who favour anything besides it. The fountainhead of all your prosperity and salvation lies in the Quran. There is no religious need of yours which is not fulfilled by it. On the Day
