Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen – Khalifatul Masih I – The Way of the Righteous — Page 172
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih and His Four Loves 171 Occasionally, one would find Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as sitting in the Dars-i-Qur'an of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra , and would raptly listen to him. It is because of this scholarship that the Promised Messiah paid warm tributes to Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra and acknowledged the depth of his knowledge of the Holy Qur'an. He wrote in Aa ’ eena-i-Kamaalaat-i-Islam (pp. 581- 589): The love, the devotion and the affection of the Holy Qur'an that is found in Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen, I simply do not see in any other human being. He is the lover of the Holy Qur'an and his forehead often sparkles with the verses of the Holy Qur'an. There is a filtration of spiritual delight in his heart, and with this doting and loving heart, he speaks of the truth and greatness of the Holy Qur'an, which no one else can express. Maulana Obaidullah Sindhi was a great admirer of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra and often used to visit Qadian to see him. He states ( Irshaadaat by Hadhrat Maulana Obaidullah Sindhi, p. 400): Maulavi Noor-ud-Deen is an unmatched scholar and has a commanding personality. He has the deepest attachment to the Holy Qur'an. He was ever thinking how best the message of the Holy Qur'an could be taken and how best the people could be familiarized with the beauties and the excellences of the Holy Qur'an. He was also thinking of how to invite people to the Holy Qur'an and how their lives could be moulded in the ideal mould of the Holy Book. One simply needs to read and re-read his books in detail to see the fondness of Maulana Sahib for every word of the Holy Qur'an. The other name of Maulana's life and existence is the Qur'an. Even on his deathbed, he had no other concern but the giving of Dars-i-Qur'an. How can one state in words his love, his devotion and his dedication to the Holy Qur ’ an, which were reflected throughout his life from Bhera to Qadian?
