A Sign of Allah 9 After Kalam-e-Il a h i, or the revelation of God, proph - ets are also referred to as kalim a t. And not just Jesus as , but rather, every prophet was a kalimah and all the righteous men of God are considered kalim a t. Therefore, the believers mentioned in the preceding verse: 1 َّنِا َنْيِذَّلا اْوُنَمٰا َو اوُلِمَع ِتٰحِلّٰصلا Those who will be granted gardens in the heavens in which they will abide forever without ever tiring from them nor ever being ejected from them by God Almighty—those believers are the very kalim a t that are referenced and described in the following verses. In these verses, glad tidings are given to the Holy Prophet s as that the Christians take pride in having just one kalimah and believe him to be unique in that status— and We undoubtedly did call the Messiah as a kalimah —but we are making you, O Holy Prophet s as , a kalimah gar or one through whom kalim a t are created. Through you, countless kalim a t will come into being, and all those believers who are promised infinite gardens of heaven, they will all be kalim a t of God who will be ascribed to you. Thus, announce that my Lord’s kalim a t can never be exhausted. Allah will bestow upon you, O Holy Prophet s as , pure kalim a t in such vast quan - tity that their coming into being will never end. In every such person, there will be oceans of meaning and oceans of virtue and righteousness. 1. S u rah al-Kahf, 18:108 [Publisher]
