ls~am in Mecca-were of a greater glory than the others. What did Hazrat Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, see when he joined Islam; he did not see any Sign; But of course, he knew the life of the Holy Prophet and he was well aware of his high morals. As soon as he heard of the claim of the Holy Prophet, that he had claimed to be a prophet, he professed faith in him. That is the reason why I tell the friends to be visiting this place frequently and that they should stay here for some time. Close friendship and to be well informed of the condition, benefits a lot. The Miracles and the Signs do not help that much. Did the Pharoah benefit from the Miracles? He did not. Thousands of people reject the Miracles, but there is none who can reject good morals. One should very sincerely try to find out the kind of life the other person {the claimant) is living. {Malfoozat Vol. II, p. 219) A MULTI-MEANING BOOK The Holy Quran is a Multi-meaning Book. Many mean- -ings can be deduced from all the places in it. And no point contradicts any othei point but he who is prone to quick anger and gr•1dge is not a suitable person to understand the Holy Quran nor the Holy Quran opens up for such peonle {i. e. they cannot understand the deeper mP,anings of this Book). I intend to write a commentary of the Holy Qurar. , which should make understanding easy. Of course mere understanding and belief are not enough unless these things are put i·ito action. The words without action are hke some- thing \v'ithout soul. One should believe in the Holy Quran to be a miracle and one's relation with God should be such as if he sees Him. {Malfoozat Vol. II, p. 221) 97
