Testimony of the Holy Quran — Page 21
H A D R AT M IR Z A GHU L A M AH M AD A S 21 there is an obvious reference to the Promised Messiah in this hadith, we must infer from it that this verse, too, speaks of the age of the Promised Messiah and implicitly refers to him. In spite of these clear testimonies that are shining bright like the sun, people still doubt these prophecies! Let fair-minded people decide for themselves if it is not stupidity to doubt such prophecies whose news of the unseen has visibly come true. I am certain that what I have written so far in light of the a ha d i th regarding the prophecy about the Promised Messiah will suffice to satisfy a person who does not wish to unjustly oppose the truth after having found it. I have not quoted here the exact words of the a ha d i th, nor have I summarized all of them, because these a ha d i th are so well known and widespread that even young village students are familiar with them. Had I recorded in this brief booklet all the a ha d i th that have been narrated about this matter, I may not have completed it even after having written 10 juzw’. 1 But I appeal to the readers that they should carefully study S i hah Sittah [the Six Authentic Books of Hadith] in the original or their translations, so that they might know the abundance and emphasis with which such a ha d i th are to be found. The second point at issue was whether or not there is any mention concerning the Promised Messiah in the Noble Quran. Conclusive arguments render their verdict that such mention is most certainly present in the Quran. Undoubtedly, any per - son who ponders the following prophesies of the Noble Quran, which relate to the Latter Days of this ummat and are in this Holy 1. A juzw’ comprises sixteen pages. [Publisher]
