266 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad say that God forbid, Allah has not fulfilled His promise, because they believe that there is no successor in the ummah at present. That is not all. Such a person will have to deny another fact as well. They will have to accept, God forbid, that the Holy Quran is also wrong where it has declared that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was the likeness of Moses as. The reason being that in order for the likeness and similarity of these two dispensations to be complete, it was necessary for a Messiah to be born from among this ummah at the head of the fourteenth century, just as a Messiah appeared in the fourteenth century in the Mosaic dispensation. Similarly, one will have to reject the following verse of the Holy Quran: 1 ْ بِهِم َلْحَقُوْا ی ْنَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا ی ِ ٰاخَر And among others from among them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise. The aforementioned verse foretells of the advent of a spiritual manifestation of Ahmad. In the same vein, one will have to reject many other verses of the Holy Quran as well. In fact, I can confidently say that such a one will have to forsake the entire Quran, from its first word to the last. Reflect once more! Is it easy to reject me? I do not say this of my own accord, but I swear by God and say that this is the truth, that anyone who turns away from me and rejects me, even if not verbally, but practically, rejects the entire Quran and turns away from God. There is an indication of this in one of my revelations as well: َ ک اَنْت َ مِنِّی ْ وَاَنَا مِنْ You are of me and I am of you. There is no doubt that rejecting me is tantamount to the denial of God. Accepting me is to affirm the truth of God Almighty and develops a strong faith in His being. Further, to reject me is not just to reject me; this is a denial of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Now before anyone is auda- cious enough to deny and reject me, they ought to look into their hearts and reflect, they ought to seek a verdict from their hearts, as to who they reject. How is rejecting me equivalent to a denial of the Messenger of Allah, peace and bless- ings of Allah be upon him? It is equivalent because the Holy Prophet sa promised that a Reformer would appear at the head of every century; and so this promise 1 al-Jumu’ah, 62:4 p. 243
