The Holy Quran with Five Volume Commentary (Vol 1) — Page ccclxxv

GENERAL INTRODUCTION I also desire to state that since I was a pupil of the late Maulawī Nūr-ud- Din, Khalifatul-Masīḥ I, a good deal of what I acquired from him is reflected in the Explanatory Notes. Thus these Notes are, in fact, based upon the interpretation of the Quran by the Promised Messiah, the First Khalifah and myself. Since God had anointed the Promised Messiah with His Spirit and had honoured him by bestowing upon him such knowledge as was requisite for the development of this and succeeding generations, I trust that this commentary will serve to heal many of their ills. By means of it the blind shall see, the deaf shall hear, the dumb shall speak, the lame and the halt shall walk, and God's angels shall so bless it that it shall succeed in fulfilling the object for which it is being published. Do Thou, o Lord, ordain that it be so! QADIAN, 28th February, 1947. 6th Rabi'uth-Thānī, 1366. 28th Tabligh, 1326. MIRZĀ BASHĪR-UD-DĪN MAḤMŪD AḤMAD (Khalifatul-Masīḥ II) cccxlix
