Testimony of the Holy Quran — Page 71
H A D R AT M IR Z A GHU L A M AH M AD A S 71 Quran being available, and there being a plethora of ulema—the hearts of most people are drawn automatically to Islam and no Mujaddid is needed. It is a pity, however, that he does not appre - ciate the fact that Mujaddid i n and spiritual Khulaf a ’ are needed in this ummah in the same way that, from ancient times, the need for Prophets kept presenting itself. It cannot be denied that Hadrat M u s a [Moses], peace be on him, was a Prophet and a Messenger, and that the Torah was a complete code for the Children of Israel. And just as the Holy Quran contains the verse, 1 َمْوَيْلَا ُتْلَمْكَا ْمُكَل so does the Torah contain verses to the effect that the Children of Israel have been given a perfect and glorious Book, the name of which is the Torah. The Holy Quran also describes the Torah as such. Yet, after the Torah, hundreds of Prophets appeared among the Children of Israel. They brought no new Book and their purpose was to draw people who had departed from the teachings of the Torah back to it, and to purify the hearts of those who had been afflicted with doubts, atheism, and a lack of faith. Allah, the Lord of Glory, Himself affirms it in the Holy Quran: 2 َو ْدَقَل اَنْيَتٰا ىَسْوُم َبٰتِكْلا َو اَنْيَّفَق ْۢنِم ٖهِدْعَب ِلُسُّرلاِب Meaning that, We bestowed the Torah upon Moses and after that Book, We sent many Messengers in its support and to testify to its truth. 1.
