106 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad matters clearly. There has been no Prophet who has not migrated. ” 1 27 November 1901 In what follows, we present an address delivered by His Holiness, peace and bless - ings be upon him, which he delivered on the word of God being a miracle during his walk on 27 November 1901. The Miracle of Divine Revelation The Promised Messiah as said: “There is no doubt that the word of Allah Almighty which is revealed upon His chosen ones and on His Messengers, is a magnificent miracle. No one, either by themselves or with the help of others, has the power to bring forth its equal.

For every individual cannot comprehend the higher stages and excellences which a sagacious and insightful person can see. It is my belief that the pure words of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, shone like a ruby, but despite this, the Holy Quran is completely different and distinct from the holy words of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Why is this so? Well, everything has its 1 Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 44, 30 November 1901, pp. 1-4 p. 379
