106 in regard to the Holy Prophet Mohammad we read: قل نزله روح القدس من ربك بالحق ليثبت الذين روح القدس وا و هدی و بشرى للمسلمين آمَنُوا وَهُدً "Say the spirit of holiness has brought it down from thy Lord with truth, that He may strengthen those who believe, and as a guidance and glad tidings for the Muslims". (XVI;103). Further, whereas Jesus had said that the shariah was a curse if a man went only after the outward forms, neglecting the inner spirit, the Holy Quran says: "Woe to the worshippers who pray but remain neglectful of the real spirit of the prayer; who worship only to be seen of men. " Similarly insisting upon the preservation and intensifiction of the inner spirit of prayer, the Holy Quran says in another place: ن يَنَالَ اللهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلكِن يَنَالُهُ 108 التقوى مِنْكُمْ. "The flesh and the blood of the animals you sacrifice do not reach Allah; what reaches Him from you is the spirit of righteousness from you". (XXII:38).
