Do these statements of Hadhrat. Ahmadas suggest, even remotely, that the angels are the names of heavenly bodies and that everything occurs under the influence of stars as alleged by the author of Two in One? How did he then come to such a deduction?

Divine revelation. ' He declared: 'Though he descends upon every person who is honoured with Divine revelation, the circle of the effect of his descent assumes small or great proportions according to different 32.
