His Holiness (as) received the following revelation:
کَفَیْنَاکَ الْمُسْتَھْزِئِیْنَ
We shall suffice against those who mock you.
There was discussion on the commentary Ijaz-ul-Masih and how no one from among the opponents has been given the power by God to write anything in contestation. At this, His Holiness (as) said: “There are two views on the Holy Quran being a miracle. The first idea is that God Almighty deprived the opponents of their ability to come forth in contestation; in other words, these people were unable to find an opportunity, which would make it possible for them, at the time, to take up this challenge. The second view, which is the most correct, true and most firm—and this is my view as well—is that the opponents were inherently incapable of taking up this challenge in question. The fact of the matter is that they had lost all sense of knowledge and reason. The miracle of the Holy Quran can be understood very well in light of the circumstances that surround the commentary of the Holy Quran which I have written. Thousands of opponents renowned as learned scholars are currently present. Many sentences have been published in my various announcements to arouse their honour, but no one has been able to come forth in contestation to show the like of the sign that I have manifested.”1
