400. Essence of Islam-1 had no access to a revealed Book, the answer is that if they are wholly wild and are deprived of human intelligence, they will not be called to account in any way. . They are in the category of the insane. But those who possess some degree of intelligence, will be called to account according to the degree of their intelligence. [Brāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyya, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, Vol. 1 pp. 198-203, footnote 11]. The seed of the Unity of God which the Holy Qur'ān has sown in Arabia, Persia, Egypt, Syria, India, China, Afghānistān, Kashmir and other regions, and the manner in which it has rooted out from most places idol worship and the worship of creatures, is a matter which is not matched in any age. As a contrast, when we look at the. Vedās, we find that they were not able to reform even Āryāvart itself. [Chashma-e-Ma'rifat, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, Vol. 23, p. 77]. Be alert all the time and do not take a single step contrary to Divine teaching and the guidance of the Qur'ān. I tell you truly that anyone who evades the least one of the 700 commandments of the Qur'an, shuts upon himself the door of salvation. The ways of true and perfect salvation have been opened by the Qur'an and all the rest is its reflection. Therefore, study the Qur'ān with care and hold it very dear with a love that you have not for anything else. As God has said to me: الخير كله في القرآن 243. This is wholly true. Those people are to be pitied who prefer anything else to it. The fountainhead of all your prosperity and salvation is the Holy Qur'an. There is no religious need of yours which is not filled by the Qur'ān. 243. All good is contained in the Qur'ān. [Publisher]
