Truth about Khatm-e-Nabuwat — Page 33
the ranks of Prophets, the Righteous and the wit- nesses, have in them t,he spirit of oneness; their community or affinity shall be expressed in tttrms of complete unity, rnutual attraction and oneness, so much so, that they will be presentir1g a spectacle of distinct homogeneous classes. It is with this object that the verse ends \Vith_ the expression 'a good company shall they be', so as to point out to their espirit de corps homt>geneity and sense of spiritual oneness that permeates the mass of every •favoured group. ' It is in pointed reference to it that the Holy Prophet (peace be on him and His blessings) says: "The Prophets are like unto brethren, their mothers are different but their father is one and their faith is one". I -In the verse under reference also the word '~• has been employed in the composite sense of the terms , ~ and ,:r to indic•ate this underlying spiritual affinity. It is a great matter of regret that the Maulvies of today who are utterly ignorant of the Quranic beauty of expression and its inner realities, instead of diving in it& depths, to disC'over pearls are content with the flotsam and jets11m of their own creation. They could sec a weu. lth of wisdom and a depth of meaning in every letter and word of the Holy Book and its reason for preferenC'e of one term to another would have unfolded itself to them with the full weight of its significance. ------ ' J.
