10 1 (Part 3, Ruk u ‘ 2)— ُهّٰللَا ُّيِلَو َنْيِذَّلا اْوُنَمٰاْمُهُجِرْخُي َنِّم ِتٰمُلُّظلا ىَلِا ِرْوُّنلا [Meaning that] Allah is the friend of those who believe and He brings them out of darkness into light. 2 (Pt. 29, R. 5)— َو ٗهَّنِا ٌةَرِكْذَتَل َنْيِقَّتُمْلِّل۰۰ 3 (Part 27, Ruk u ‘ 16)— َّنِا اَذٰه َوُهَل ُّقَح ِنْيِقَيْلا۰۰ 4 (Pt. 30, R. 6)— َو اَم َوُه ىَلَع ِبْيَغْلا ٍنْيِنَضِب۰۰ Meaning that the Quran reminds the righteous of all those matters that lay hidden and concealed within their nature. And this is the pure truth that leads man to certainty. And it [the Quran] is not ungenerous in bestowing knowledge of the unseen; that is to say, its function is not to act like misers, simply conveying news of the unseen itself yet inca- pable of bestowing the power of knowing the unseen upon another. Rather, it is itself comprised of the knowledge of the unseen, and the one who follows it is also bestowed the bounties of the knowledge of the unseen. This is the Quran’s claim about its teachings which it asserts itself, and then—going forward—it will itself provide its proof also. However, since the time now remaining is short, that proof shall be documented in the reply to the response. At present, I request Deputy Abdullah Atham to similarly present the claims of the Holy Bible in this very manner and this very maj- esty, adhering to the rules previously documented by me, for every equitable one knows that it can never be that, [as the adage goes:] 1.
