O Christians! Come this way; See the light of the True God, and find the true path. Can you show us in the Gospels The numberless qualities present in the Qur’an? Remember! There is the Creator above you, Do not just go about misleading His creation. How long will you continue to love falsehood, Do try truthfulness for a change. People! Have some fear of God, Have some modesty before Him. The pleasures and delights of this life are not forever; Dears! This is not a place to live in forever. No one has ever stayed here forever. Nor is this an eternal world…. My dear people, listen! Without the Qur’an, Man can never find the True God.

Those who have no knowledge of this Light, Cannot behold the Beloved.

The influence of the Furqan is indeed marvellous: It turns one into a lover of the Beloved God…. Hear from me of the beauty of the charming beloved; Hear from me the charm of its beautiful countenance.

If you do not have eyes, at least you have ears; If not, it might as well serve as a trial for you.

So all praise is due to God that the Unity of God which had disappeared from the world, has been re-established by the Qur’an.

Holy Qur’an brings full accord between Science and Religion The Holy Qur’an is a Book so full of wisdom that it has brought out the accord between the principles of spiritual medicine, that is to say, the principles of religion which are truly spiritual medicine, and physical medicine, and this accord is so fine that it opens the doors of hundreds of insights and verities. It is only that person who can interpret the Holy Qur’an truly and perfectly, who ponders the principles laid down by the Holy Qur’an in the light of the system of physical medicine. On one occasion I was shown in a vision some books of expert physicians which contained a discussion of the principles
