35 Perception of God’s Existence from the Writings of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at he Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at states in his book Surmah Chashm Aarya (Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 2 p. 277) : "The Holy Quran states in several verses, both with brevity as well as in detail that the Holy Prophet sa is the complete reflector of God: his word was the Word of God, his appearance was God revealing Himself, and his coming was God's Coming. "Since the inception of life on earth, and time immemorial, as cognizance of God has been contingent upon the acceptance of a prophet, therefore it is impossible and certainly unlikely that one may find Oneness of God without the instrumentality of a prophet. A prophet is the mirror to view the visage of God and the Divine countenance is seen but in this mirror. When God Almighty wills that He be revealed to the world, He then sends into this world His prophet—who reflects His transcendent will—and sends His revelation to him and manifests His powers as the Sustainer. It is then, that the world comes to know that God does exist. So it is part of faith in the Unity of God to believe in those who by the eternal law of God are necessarily the instruments of the cognizance of God. And without believing in them, (belief in) the Oneness of God cannot attain perfection. Because it is not possible to gain access to that pure Oneness of God which springs from the fountain of perfect certitude, without the medium of those heavenly signs and miracles reflective of God's transcendent Will—as shown through the prophets— which gives access to true perceptiveness. That is the only elect group which reflects God and through whom that God is revealed whose Being is convoluted within its inner recesses T
