128 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad proclaimed: 1 ًا ُع ِْيْ َم َ ْج ْ ُم َُْيُْك ْل ِ ا ِ ُهلل ُ ا َل ُْوْ َس َ ُر ْ ي ِـ َّن ِ ا ُ ٍس َا ْلْن ا َا ِه ُـ ُي َ ا ۤـ ُي ُْقُْل Say, ‘O mankind! Truly I am a Messenger to you all. ’ Then, Allah the Exalted said: 2 َِْيَْن َم َ ُل ٰ ُع ْ ُل ِ ْل ً ِة َْمَ ُح َ ُر َا ْل ِ ا ََٰك ْن ْ ُل َْسَ ُر َ ا ۤ ا َمَ We have sent thee not but as a mercy for all peoples. When the sphere of the divine appointment and prophethood of the Holy Prophet sas was so widely encompassing, how can anyone compare to him? In the present age, even if a verse of the Holy Quran was revealed upon someone, it is my belief that this revelation of theirs would not give them the same breadth as the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, which was his dis - tinction in the past and even now. It is for this reason that as far as interpretation of dreams is concerned, experts have adopted the principle that interpretations depend on the condition and state of the individual in question. If a person is poor, their dream will be understood within the scope of their capacity and objec - tives; the dream of a wealthy man will be understood in a manner that accords with him; and a king in accordance with his stature. For example, if a poor man saw in a dream that his head was itchy, obviously this would not mean that the crown of a king would be placed on his head, it would probably mean that he would soon receive a beating. Just as spheres of human capacity are different, in the same manner, the spheres of divine revelation are different. Furthermore, in the word of God Almighty there are many other aspects as well which establish it as being matchless. This unparalleled nature is not as we would imagine by our standards. For the word of God Almighty is revelation that comes without the element of deliberation, whereas our speech at times is based on mental reflection and later on we correct our words. Things can be ‘unparal - leled’ only in relative terms. If there were two roosters, one of them could be deemed relatively matchless in comparison to the other, but a rooster would have no comparison whatsoever to an elephant. 1 al-A’raf , 7:159 2 al-Anbiya , 21:108 p. 105 p. 399 ْ ُم ُ ِه ِْنْ َم َ ُن ْ ُي ِ َر ٰاَخَ
