80 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad that he does not even know that the man who brought the Quran is so great that the book he brought is described as such by God: صُحُفًا مُطَهَّرَةً فِيْهَا كُتُبْ قَيْمَةٌ That is to say, it is a book which is a compendium of all books and of every truth. The word 'book' here generally implies and refers to those admirable principles that a human being naturally finds worthy of adherence. The Comprehensive Nature of the Holy Quran The Holy Quran is a compendium of wisdom and insight. It is not an indiscrimi- nate collection of ideas. It expounds every matter itself and contains provision for requirements of every kind. It is a sign in every respect. If someone denies this, I am prepared to demonstrate its miraculous nature in every respect. In the present age, many vigorous onslaughts are being waged against the Unity of Allah and His existence. The Christians have also exerted their best efforts and written ex- tensively, but everything they have stated and written is with relation to the God of Islam and not about the dead god who was crucified and is but helpless. I can confidently claim that anyone who endeavours to write in defence of the Being and existence of Allah Almighty will ultimately have no choice but to accept the God presented by Islam. For every page of the Book of Nature testifies to His Being and man naturally bears the impress of the very same God in his person. Hence, when such people take a step, they invariably advance towards the field of Islam. This too is a magnificent miracle. A Challenge of the Holy Quran If a person rejects this miracle of the Holy Quran, one method alone is sufficient to put such people to test. In other words, if someone does not accept the Quran to be the Word of God, then in this age of enlightenment and science, such a claimant ought to write arguments in favour of the existence of God; and I shall demonstrate that all such arguments already exist in the Holy Quran. Further, if someone were to pen arguments in support of the Unity of God, we shall present the same arguments from the Holy Quran as well. Such people ought to present arguments that they claim are not to be found in the Holy Quran or put forth 1 al-Bayyinah, 98:3-4
