Some Distinctive Features of Islam — Page 27
27 I am the light in the darkness of this age. He who follows me, will be saved from the pits and ditches du g by the Devil to ensnare those straying in the dark. He has sent me so that I should lead the world, gently and in peace, to the One True God, and re-establish the moral excellences of Islam. And I have been given heavenly signs to satisfy those who seek the truth. 50 I now end my address with another quotation from the writings of the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, which is a call to the whole of mankind: The mirror which enables you to behold That Lofty Being, is His communion with man. . . . . . . . . . Let one whose heart yearns for the truth, stand up and search. I tell you in all truth, that if souls search honestly and hearts really thirst for the truth, then men should look for the right method and the right path. But how will this open, and how will this veil be lifted? I assure all seekers that Islam alone gives the glad tidings of this path, for others have long since placed a seal on God’s revelation. But, be assured that God has not placed this seal: this is a mere excuse conjured up by man in his deprivation. Verily, as it is not possible to see without our eyes, or hear without our ears, in exactly the same way, it is impossible to behold the countenance of That Beloved, without the help of the Holy Quran. I was a young man, and now I am grown old, but I have never found anyone who has drunk of the ultimate spiritual elixir, except from this holy spring. 51 Doubtless, this call is a life-giving message for every soul that seeks the real truth.
