Status of the Promised Messiahas 87 We have with us the statements of many such peo- ple, which we can make available to anyone who is eager to follow this line of investigation. [Anjām-e-Atham, Rūķānī Khazā'in, vol. 11, p. 343] Knowledge of the Holy Qur'an I call God to witness, in Whose hand is my life, that I have been given excellence over every other indi- vidual in the matter of understanding the deeper and subtler meanings of the Holy Qur'an. Had the oppo- nent Maulavīs come forward to compete with me in this, as I had repeatedly invited them to do, they would have been humiliated by God. The under- standing of the Qur'an that has been bestowed upon me is a sign of Allah, the Glorious, and I, by the grace of Allah, believe that the world will soon rec- ognize the truth of my claim. [Siraj-e-Munir, Rūķānī Khazā'in, vol. 12, p. 41] It is God's design that whoever out of the Muslims remains away from me will be cut off, be he a ruler or a subject. [Majmū'ah Ishtihārāt, vol. 2, p. 416] Acceptance Obligatory God Almighty has disclosed to me that whoever has been apprised of my advent and does not accept me is not a Muslim and is accountable to God. [Letters to Dr. 'Abdul Hakim quoted in Al-Fadl, vol. 22, no. 85, 15 March 1935, p. 8]
