76. Essence of Islam-IV. Wherever I have denied being a Prophet or a Messenger, it has only meant that I have not brought a permanent and independent Shariah, nor am I a. Prophet in my own right. But I am a Messenger and a Prophet without a new Shariah in the sense that― because of the inner grace that has been bestowed upon me on account of my obedience to the Holy. Prophets, and because I have received his nameGod reveals the unseen to me. I have never denied being a Prophet in this sense, and it is only in this sense that God has called me Prophet and Messenger. Thus, even now I do not deny being a Prophet and a Messenger in this sense. When I say: من نیستم رسول و نیاورده ام کتاب 42. I only mean that I am not the bearer of a new. Shariah. It must, however, be remembered and never forgotten that, despite my having been called. Prophet and Messenger, I have been informed by. God that all this grace is not bestowed directly upon me but there is a holy one in heaven, i. e. , Muḥammad, the Chosen Onesa, whose spiritual grace accompanies me. Because of this intermediary link and having been named Muḥammad and Aḥmad, I am both a Messenger and a Prophet-one who is sent by God and one to whom God discloses news of the unseen. In this manner, the Seal of Prophethood has been fully safeguarded, for I have only been given this name by way of reflection through the 42 I am not a Messenger and have not brought a book.
