The Noble Son — Page 79
HAZRAT MAULANA JALAL-UD-DIN SHAMS RA 79 the Study of the Holy Qur’an] etc. These are books in which, by drawing a comparison between the beliefs and teachings of Islam with other religions, he has manifested the eminence and superiority of Islamic beliefs and teachings, and has proven that the perfect religion, by following which one can find God Almighty, is Islam alone. Then, Allah the Almighty bestowed upon him true knowledge, which is knowledge of the Holy Qur’an, in such abundance that no one can compete with him in our age. Allah the Almighty, disclosed to him such insights and verities of the Holy Qur’an as cannot be found in any of the earlier commentaries. Six volumes of Tafseer-e-Kabeer [The Grand Exegesis] that he is writing, have been published, and the seventh is being printed. Reading them, one is forced to impulsively proclaim that the glad tidings that Allah the Almighty had given to the Promised Messiah as , that through the Promised Son the grandeur of the Word of Allah will be manifested, has indeed been fulfilled word for word. Up till now more than a hundred books written by him have been published and the prophecy of God Almighty, that the Musleh Mauood will be filled with secular and spiritual knowledge, has been—manifestly and brilliantly—fulfilled like the bright midday sun. What can be said concerning the one who, even upon seeing such a clear, bright and spectacular sign, rejects it except: شیرچشم بروز بیند نه گر * گناه راچه چشمہ آفتاب * Translation : ‘If the person suffering night blindness is unable to see during the day, what fault is there in this of the disk of the sun?’ [Translator]
