BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part Four 18 different languages—some of which they do not even know at all—as I have proven in Sub-Footnote Number One. 1 Given this situation, it would be the height of folly to believe that the Omniscient God did not have the power to bestow the same revelation at the origin of cre- ation. Because when even now we have a clear proof of His unlimited power—that He reveals to His servants languages of which they have no knowledge whatsoever, and which they have not learnt from their parents, nor were they ever taught to them by a teacher—how can we believe that at the origin of creation, when there was a dire need, it was beyond the perfect power of God Almighty to teach languages to man? What justification is there for believing that God was weak and powerless, as a consequence of which man had to undergo severe hardships after being created—namely, that he remained dumb and speechless for a very long time and, in that unfortunate period, he could get through and survive by using gestures alone, experiencing many difficulties and troubles along the way, and remained incapable of making long discourses and expressing subtle matters that could not be expressed by gestures? Thus, he continued to suffer the loss that is necessarily incurred due to the inability to communicate and compre- hend. And although man faced all these troubles, God did nothing to remedy his situation and was incapable of fulfilling his needs. And God created man out of absolutely nothing through His perfect omnipo- tence and bestowed upon him a tongue, eyes, ears, and the faculties to make diverse types of progress and likewise, He bestowed upon him, through His omnipotence, so many favours that it is not possible for man to count them; yet the same Powerful God could not teach man language, which was absolutely necessary for him. At long last, hav- ing suffered the ordeal of speechlessness for a long time, man invented language on his own. 1.
