Three Questions by a Christian and their Answers — Page 35
35 One of the many beauties of the Holy Quran, for instance, is that it is a compendium of all religious verities. There is not a single religious verity, relating to truth and wisdom, which is not to be found in the Holy Quran. But can anyone show us another book which possesses this quality? If anyone is in doubt about the Holy Quran being the compendium of all religious verities, regardless of whether he is a Christian, an A rya, a Brahm u Sam a jist or an atheist, he is welcome to test this claim in the manner of his own choosing and thus sat- isfy himself; and I undertake to satisfy any seeker after truth who comes to me. All the sacred truths found in the Bible, all the points of truth and wisdom contained in the writings of the sages which have come to my knowledge, all the verities which have perchance been recorded and have survived in the Vedas of the Hindus that I have had the occasion to see, and all the finer points of truth and wisdom contained in hundreds of books by the Sufis that I know of, I find them all in the Holy Quran. It has become categorically and unambiguously clear to me, as a result of the perfect inductive knowledge that I have acquired from thirty long years of deep and extensive observation, that there is not a single spiritual truth that can contribute to the consummation of the self and development and training of the human mind and soul, which is not to be found in the Holy Quran. I am not alone in reaching this conclusion, the Holy Quran itself makes this claim—a claim which has been tested, not only by myself, but by thousands of scholars who have all along testified to its truth.
