1896 373 December 21, 1896 A paper written by me on the qualities and miracles of the Holy Qur’an will be read in the Great Conference of Religions to be held in Lahore Town Hall on December 26, 27, and 28, 1896. This paper is above the reach of human faculties and is a divine Sign having been prepared with His special support…. God the All Knowing, has informed me by revelation that this paper will tower above all others. It contains such light of truth, wisdom and insight as shall confound the followers of other faiths who might be present and listen to it from beginning to end. They will not be able to match its qualities from their own books whether they are Christians, A ryas, San a tan Dharmists or any others, for God has decreed that the light of His Holy Book be manifested that day. I saw in a vision that a hand from the unseen touched my palace and immediately there burst forth a bright light which spread all round. My hands were also lit up by it. Then someone who was standing next to me called out: 412 The interpretation is that by the palace is meant my heart which is the place of descent and manifestations of lights and those lights are the learning contained in the Holy Qur’an. By Khaibar are meant all other religions which have been corrupted and which have got mixed up with paganism and falsehood and wherein man is deified or divine attributes are degraded from their perfect station. Thus I was informed that by the wide publication of this paper the falsehood of false creeds will become patent and 412 [Arabic] Allah is Great; ruined is Khaibar. [Publishers]
