60 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR the foundation upon which this claim is based-is that at the time of the advent of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, the world had deteriorated to such a state of darkness that it demanded the rise of the Sun of Truth. It is in this context that God Almighty has repeatedly described the very mission of His Apostle in the Holy Quran that he found the people of this world plunged into pitch darkness, and then brought them out of that darkness. As He says: كِتَبٌ أَنْزَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ - Sūrah Ibrahim, Part Number 13 اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَتِ إِلَى النُّورِ - 2[Surah al-Baqarah] Part Number 3 هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَيكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوْرِ - [Sürah al-Ahzab] Part Number 22 قَدْ جَاءَكُم مِّنَ اللهِ نُورٌ وَ كِتَبٌ مُبِينٌ يَهْدِى بِهِ اللهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلْمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ - *Sūrah al-Ma'idah, Part Number 6 قَدْ انْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا رَّسُولًا يَتْلُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَيْتِ اللهِ مُبَيِّنَتٍ لِيُخْرِجَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّلِحَتِ ]Sūrah at-Talāq] Part Number 28 - مِنَ الظُّلُمَتِ إِلَى النُّورِ Meaning that, this is Our Book that We have revealed to you with the objective that you may guide people, who are steeped in darkness, 1.
