232 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1 ٗ كِتٰبٌ اُحْكِمَت ْ ٰايٰتُه This is a Book whose verses have been made firm. In other words, the teachings of the Holy Quran have been made so firm and sound that even idolators and Christians have had to admit that it is God’s One- ness—the essence of man’s nature—by which human beings will be questioned by Allah Almighty. The second means by which the Holy Quran has been strengthened is through the signs of God Almighty. There is no Prophet or divinely commissioned man of God, who has not been supported by divine succour. The support and signs that accompanied our Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are immensely magnificent and powerful. There were signs in the actions of the Holy Prophet sa and in his words. In other words, the very being of the Holy Prophet sa was a complete embodiment of divine signs. The third means by which the Holy Quran was reinforced was the pure con- duct and righteousness of the Holy Prophet sa. The wise also consider the trust- worthy nature of an individual to constitute evidence of their truthfulness, and the aforementioned qualities are a part of this. For example, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq ra accepted this to be a valid argument. The fourth means by which the Holy Quran was corroborated, which is a pow- erful proof of its sound and firm nature is the spiritual power of the Prophet which shows its practical benefit. For example, a physician could make tall claims about his skill and ability, and may well know Sadidi 2 like the back of his hand, but if he cannot make his patients well, everyone will simply say that this physi- cian is unable to cure people. In the same manner, the greatness and loftiness of a Prophet’s grandeur is proportional to the degree that his spiritual power wields strength. In order to reinforce the teaching of the Holy Quran, this form of sup- port is the greatest. The Spiritual Power of the Holy Prophet sa The spiritual power of the Prophet of God, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is at a level that if it was contrasted to any of the other Prophets, peace be upon them, it would appear that no other Prophet achieved anything in compari- 1 Hud, 11:2 2 A book of medicine.
