– FULFILMENT OF A GRAND PROPHECY 70 is such a sign that it cannot be found in anyone without Divine assistance! No one can aim to fulfil this sign in his own person by way of deception and falsehood because the foremost superiority and excellence of any saintly person, as the Promised Messiah as says is this: ‘That he should be bestowed the knowledge of the Holy Qur’an… He (Allah the Almighty) Himself states that the one I bestow true piety upon I open the Qur’anic fountains of knowledge upon him. Furthermore, He says that I bestow the knowledge of the Qur’an on whomsoever I wish and the one who is bestowed the knowledge of the Qur’an is given something of which there is no equal. ’ 75 In the announcement dated 20 July 1900, he states that profound knowledge of the Qur’an is only given to the righteous servants of God. It is not given to those outside of this class, and he states: ‘In accord with the verse َ ن ْ مُطَہَّرُو ْ لَ یَمَسُّہۤٗ اِلَّ ال * only pure-natured persons are granted knowledge of the Glorious Book; but a mere claim is not worthy of being accepted, on the contrary, the worth of everything can only be established by being put to test and the method for testing is by way of comparison, for light can really only be appreciated through darkness. ’ 76 * Translation: ‘None shall touch it except those who are purified. ’ The Holy Qur’an 56:80 [Translator]
