The Promised Messiah(as) further states about the status of the Holy Prophet(sa):
The sublime light which was bestowed on man, i.e., the most perfect among them, was not shared by angels, nor by stars; nor was it in the moon, nor in the sun, or in the oceans and the rivers. It was not to be found in rubies or emeralds, nor in sapphires, nor in pearls. It was not in any earthly or heavenly object.
That is, it was neither in an earthly matter nor in the Heaven.
It was possessed only by the perfect man, manifested in the most consummate way in the person of our lord and master, Muhammad, the chosen one(sa), the chief of all Prophets, leader of those who live (in the sight of Allah). So, that light was bestowed on that man and likewise, to a degree, on all who in their several ways were similar to him.
His followers were given the light in accordance to their faith.
Trust denotes all the faculties of the perfect man, his wisdom, knowledge, life and soul, senses, fears, love, honour, dignity and all collective blessings both physical and spiritual, which Allah the Exalted bestowed on the perfect man.
It means that all of man's abilities of wisdom, knowledge and other senses, the highest of strengths and the highest of standards of these, were given to the perfect man.
The perfect man, in accordance with the verse: 1
returns all this trust to God Almighty, i.e., by fully submersing himself in Him he devotes himself to His cause.....
This glory was found in its highest, most perfect form in our lord and master, our guide, the unlettered Prophet(sa), the truthful and the one whom the truthful verified, Muhammad, the chosen one(sa). (Aina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Ruhani Khaza’in. Vol. 5, pp 160-162)
So these people, who consider themselves as devotee of the Holy Prophet(sa), and accuse us that, God forbid, we consider the Promised Messiah(as) greater than him, their sole objectives are to gain their personal benefits. If only they could demonstrate that anyone of their religious scholars could exhibit such glorious, or even a minuscule quantity of such glorious eloquence about the Holy Prophet(sa) as the Promised Messiah(as) has expressed! These are the words of a sincere, and ardent devotee about the Holy Prophet(sa), whom they call a liar. Everything he did or avoided doing was in obedience to his lord and master Hadrat Muhammad(sa). Let us see if this depth of eloquence and this profound a perception of the person of the Holy Prophet(sa) is in your literature, as it has been presented by the Promised Messiah(as).
The Promised Messiah(as) further states - and this has always been the teaching of the Community, we abide by it, we tolerate it all, staying within the law.
He stated:
This indeed is the summary of our religion. How could we reconcile with those who unfairly and without fear of God address our esteemed Holy Prophet(sa) with foul language, make wicked false allegations against his holy person, and do not abstain from being abusive? I say most truthfully that we could reconcile with the most poisonous of snakes, and with wild wolves but we could not reconcile with these people who make vulgar attacks on our beloved Prophet(sa) who is dearer to us than our lives and our parents. May God bring death upon us while we are Muslim. We do not want to do something that would compromise faith. (Paigham-e-Sulah, Ruhani Khaza’in, Vol. 23, p. 459)
So this is our teaching. This is the teaching, which has been given to us by the Promised Messiah(as). This is the fire of the ardent love and devotion for the Holy Prophet(sa) that the Promised Messiah(as) kindled in our hearts and gave us its correct understanding and perception. If after all this, they still say that, God forbid, the Ahmadiyya Community encouraged the Danish government and the newspaper to publish the caricatures, and it was after this that they printed the caricatures, then the only thing we can do with these people is to send the curse of Allah the Exalted on them.
1 Verily, Allah commands you to make over the trusts to those entitled to them. (Surah Al-Nisa, 4:59)
