God Almighty had given the news in the Noble Quran that the Glorious and Perfect Word would also overcome this turmoil. It was, therefore, essential that the Word of God be laden with the true philosophy that would prevail upon the beguiling philosophy of the time; for, it has come for the purpose of [carrying out] reformations eternally.
