105 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD AS assertion could, perhaps, have seemed true, because in the same chapter of Acts it is stated that the Jews, in the same city where the disciples lived, had been conversing in those tongues for a long time. Thus, precedence with regards to these languages is given to the Jews. It would suffice to give credit to the disciples to the extent that, unlike jugglers, they were not useless, instead, they had learned these languages from their kith and kin, because they had been brought up amongst them. The fact of the matter is that, apart from the Holy Qur’an, nothing appeared in the world which draws at - tention towards research into language. It is this pure Word which states: ُ ض ِاَل�َ ت �ۡ ض �و َ ا ِ ض �َۡۡر اَّل و َ ا ِ ت ُ السَّمٰو�ٰ ت َل�ۡ ض � ٖ ِہ ۡ ا�ٰی�ٰت ض �ِم َ و َ ض ٍ لِّلۡعٰلِم�ِی�ۡ ت �ٰی�َٰ اَّل َ ٰلِک ض ذ ۡ ِی ض � َّ ض �ِِکُم ۡ ؕ ا ض ِکُم ۡ و َ اَلۡوَا� ت �َ ض اَلۡس�ِ 1 meaning that among the Signs of the existence of God Almighty and His Oneness are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of tongues and colours. In reality, these are major Signs for the recognition of God, but for those who possess knowledge. Observe, how much emphasis has been placed upon research into languages; so much so that it has been proclaimed as a basis for the recognition of God. Is there any verse, similar to this, in 1 S u rah Ar-R u m 30:23 [Publisher]
