They will say, 'Our Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us; surely Thou hast power over all things. ' (66:9) This unceasing desire for perfection shows clearly that progress in Paradise shall be endless. . . . In short, the righteous will go on making progress and will never recede a step nor will they ever be deprived of those blessings.

Therefore, the Holy Qur’an is a perfect guide for − mankind. It requires faith in all the Prophets and the revelation that was vouchsafed to them. It is thus a universal possession and a perfect guide. Anyone who makes it the law of his life and conforms to it down to the last particular, beholds God in this very life. This is true salvation and there is no other salvation beside it. That is the perfect fulfillment of life here and in the Hereafter. The Promised Messiah and Mahdi writes about Salvation: as − "Salvation means that a person should commit himself wholly to God, and should offer himself as a sacrifice in the cause of God, and should prove his sincerity not only through his motive but also through righteous conduct. He who so comforts himself will have his recompense from God. Such people shall have no fear nor shall they grieve ( Holy Qur’an, 2:113 6: 163-164, 6: 154, 3:32)" , − (The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam, pp. 9-10, Published: 1996) − 470
