Munshee Ahmad Jan being a man of fine perception, he at once exclaimed: "Hazrat I understand. Indeed this is a science which has no bearing on a man's moral and spiritual well being or uplift. ".

Physician and the Messiah. ". God in his power and wisdom turned Hazrat Mirza. Sahib into a physician for the world-the Muhammadi. Masih; but unfortnnately Sufee Ahmad Jan had passed away before Hazrat Ahmad put forth his claim, and founded the Ahmadiyya Movement. (Seeratul Mahdee, Part I Riwaayat 143)
