Life of Ahmad — Page 380
SIR SAYYID CORRECTED as 380 interpreting the Holy Quran; the seventh principle, he declared, was revelation and inspiration, which Sir Sayyid did not think much of. He also refuted the idea that revelation was only a subjective state of mind and not an actual and objective communion with God. In his booklet Ahmad as further said: 'God has sent me as a reformer of this age so that such mistakes as could not be removed without special Divine assistance may be removed from the ideas of the Muslims, and that the unbelievers be offered the proof of the True and Living God, and that the truth and greatness of Islam be proved through fresh signs. . . To say that the door of revelation which characterises saints is now closed and that signs cannot be now shown and that prayers are no longer accepted is the way to destruction, not peace. Do not reject the grace of God. RISE, TRY and TEST. . . It would be better that Sir Sayyid should, remembering his own last day, come and live in my company for a few months. As I am commissioned and am the bearer of glad tidings, I promise that I shall pray for his satisfaction; and hope that God will show a sign which will, in a moment, bring to dust the law of nature devised by Sir Sayyid. Up till now many things have already happened which are against the law of nature in the eyes of Sir Sayyid. '
