62 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS your Lord if you are seeking guidance. Do you want to prefer the chain of Moses as over the one of your Prophetsas? That indeed is an unfair division! Why do you not desist? Do you not recite Sūrah an-Nūr? Or is it that the hearts are sealed? Or do you think that you will not return to Allah? The Quran had indeed adjusted the balance, and gave our Prophetsas everything that was given to the one that vanquished Pharaoh and Hāmān, so why do you not do justice? While the Quran has con- veyed its command, so whoever disbelieves after that, those are the transgressors. Do you give preference to your desires over the Book of Allah, or do you claim to possess knowledge equal to the Quran? If so, present it to us if you are truthful. Surely not! Indeed this is what they found their greatest people follow, so they hurried on in their footsteps. Allah has fashioned both chains alike, yet they increase and decrease in it. And who is more unjust than he who takes a path other than the path of the Quran? Surely, the curse of Allah is on the unjust. Alas for them! Will they not, then, ponder over the Quran, or are they blind? And when it is said to them, “Do you abandon the Book of Allah?" They say, "We found our fathers doing it," even if their fathers knew nothing and did not understand. Do you leave the words of your Lord for the sake of your fathers? Fie on you and on that which you do! They said, "We have seen it in the Hadith. ” In fact, they did not understand the words of the Messenger of Allahsas, they do nothing but wander blindly. They want to differentiate between the Book of Allah and the words of His Messengersas. They are forgers of lies.
