127 Malfuzat – Volume IV I am ready to prove—and it is for this very purpose that Allah Almighty has established this community—that the signs and fruits of true subservience to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are present in all ages. Even today, that God, Who is a God that speaks, sends down His exquisite word to guide the world. Even today, He is giving proof of the miracle of the Holy Quran. Indeed, it is a miracle of the Holy Quran that I am able to confidently challenge the world to contest against me in writing about the divine verities and insights of the Holy Quran in the Arabic language, but not a single person has the strength to come forth and accept this challenge.

The same nature is evident in divine revelation also. When someone receives revelation from God, the greater their strength as a person, the greater the stature of the divine word that is bestowed upon them. In the case of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, since the sphere of his strength, capability and resolve was immensely far-reaching, therefore, he was bestowed with revelation that was equal in stature and rank. No one else with the same strength and courage will ever be born.
