The second sign of its truth is that it sets forth every religious verity and states all those matters which are necessary for perfect guidance. This is a sign of its truth inasmuch as it is beyond the power of man that his knowledge should be so compre- hensive that no religious verity or the most subtle of religious truths should be left out of it. To summarize, in all these verses God Almighty has clearly stated that the Holy Quran is comprehensive of all verities, and it is this very magnificent argument which supports its truth. Centuries have passed after this claim of the Holy Quran, but no Brahm u or anyone else has come forward to contest it. Therefore, it is obvious that, without presenting any new verity that might have been left out of the Holy Quran, to put forward baseless, false notions like the insane is strong proof that such people do not desire to seek the truth like the right- eous. However, to please their nafs-e-amm a rah [the self that incites to evil], they are seeking ways whereby they should somehow be freed from God’s holy commandments, or rather, from God altogether.

They should be asked if anyone has ever presented a religious ver- ity in challenge to the Quran and found no convincing answer from the Quran.

The truth is that though the name of God does occasionally come upon their lips, their hearts are full of the filth of materialism. Even when they start a religious debate, they do not wish for its [logical] con- clusion and try to stifle it as soon as possible lest the truth should emerge. And such is their brazenness that they sit in the comfort of
