109 Malfuzat – Volume IV The Holy Quran is a Living Miracle and the Holy Prophet sas is a Living Prophet In short, the Holy Quran is a perfect and living miracle. The miracle of divine word is a miracle which can never grow old—not in any era. The hand that anni - hilates has no power over it. If today we desired to see a sign of the miracles mani - fested by Moses, peace be upon him, where are they? Do the Jews have his staff ? Does that staff still have the power to turn into a snake, and so on and so forth? Hence, the miracles manifested by all the Prophets of the past came to an end entirely when they passed away. However, the miracles of our Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are such that they are fresh and bloom - ing, and full of life even today. The fact that these miracles are living and that the clutches of death have no power over them, manifestly testifies to the fact that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a living Prophet and he is the one who has been blessed with life in the truest sense—no one else has received this. The teaching of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a living teaching because its fruits and blessings are present even today as they were 1300 years ago. At the present time we have no other teaching in respect of which a person who follows it can claim that they have partaken of its fruits, blessings and grace, and as a result they have become a sign of Allah themselves. However, by the grace and bounty of God Almighty, I receive the fruits and blessings of the teaching of the Holy Quran even today. I have found, even now, all of those signs and bounties which are received as a result of true subservience to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. As such, this is why God Almighty has established this community, so that it may prove to be a living witness of the truthfulness of Islam; it may prove that those blessings and signs which were manifested 1300 years ago are shown even today by following absolutely the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Hundreds of signs have been manifested until now. I have invited the leaders of every nation and religion to contest against me and show the truth of their own Faith. However, not a single one has been able to show a practical example of the truthfulness of their own religion. I believe that the word of God Almighty is a perfect miracle. It is my firm belief and claim that no other book can compare to it. I proclaim with insight that one may present any aspect of the Noble Quran and in its own right it will show itself p. 382
