38 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad suffered from every spiritual illness that was to afflict the people of that age or those of future generations. This is why the Quran brought all religious law to its perfection. At the time of the revelation of other books, neither was this needed, nor did they possess such a perfect teaching. A Magnificent Miracle of the Noble Prophetsa Of all the blessings that were manifested by our Perfect Prophets, and if all his other miracles are put to one side, the reformation that he brought about is simply a magnificent miracle in itself. If one reflects upon the prevailing circumstances at the time of his advent and the state that he left behind, one must accept that this influence in itself is a miracle.

For it was through the teaching of the Holy Prophets that we came to know of the following: قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدُ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ Say, He is Allah, the One; 'Allah, the Independent and Besought of all. 'He begets not, nor is He begotten; 'And there is none like unto Him.

The Holy Quran Possesses Every Truth Therefore, the paths of virtue chalked out by the Quran provide guidance on how to foster people of all types and of all intellectual ability. It provides methods to train people of all intellectual levels, whether an ignorant person, a scholar or a philosopher, and answers the questions of people from all classes.
