Commentary: See. 1:1. 3213A. Commentary: In the combined abbreviated letters the word according to Ibn 'Abbas stands for meaning, man or perfect man, or for i. e. chief or leader. Thus the expression would mean, "O Perfect Man!" or "O Perfect Leader!" According to the consensus of scholarly opinion, the reference in these combined letters is to the Holy Prophet. The Prophet has been addressed as "Perfect Man" because humanity found its best and most perfect specimen in him. He has also been called "the Perfect Leader," because after his advent great religious Reformers and divine teachers were to rise only from among his followers. The door of revelation has been closed to the followers of all other Prophets. He is therefore "the perfect man" or the "leader par excellence. " 3214.

In fact, the most effective and convincing argument to prove the truth of the Holy Prophet's mission is the Quran. There could be no greater testimony to the Holy Prophet's truth than the fact that being himself unlettered he gave to the world a Book which is full of wisdom and which far excels all other revealed Scriptures in its multifarious and multitudinous beauties and excellences and is a complete code of laws meant for the moral uplift and spiritual regeneration of humanity for all time. The Quran is indeed a standing miracle and incontrovertible testimony to the truth of the Holy Prophet. 3215.
