Knowledge of the Qur’an
A grand sign for the truthfulness of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas was his knowledge of the Holy Qur’an. He wrote over 80 books and explained the Qur’an no one was able to. He removed all misconceptions for opponents, and the Muslim ummah even ran to him for help, but later turned back against him. He states:
” I call God to witness, in Whose hand is my life, that I have been given excellence over every other individual in the matter of understanding the deeper and subtler meanings of the Holy Qur’an. Had the opponent Maulavis come forward to compete with me in this, as I had repeatedly invited them to do, they would have been humiliated by God. The understanding 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 recognize the truth of my claim.” (Siraj-e-Munir, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 12, Page 41)
He also states:
” The fifteenth sign is their knowledge of the Holy Qur’an. They are given deep understanding of the wisdom, verities and fine points of the Holy Qur’an to a degree which is never given to others. They are the pure ones concerning whom God, the Glorious, says:
لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ {80}
“Which none shall touch except those who are purified” (Chaper 56 Verse 80) (Izala-e-Auham, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 3, Pages 334-339)
It is not possible for a false claimant to have such knowledge of the Qur’an as Ahmadas did. Ahmadas further lists some of the favours of Allah bestowed upon him:
” [1] God has bestowed upon me the deeper and subtler meanings of the Qur’an. [2] God has taught me the language of the Qur’an in a miraculous manner. [3] God accepts my prayers more than anyone else. [4] God has granted me signs from heaven. [5] God has vouchsafed to me signs from the earth. [6] God has promised me that whoever challenges me shall be humbled. [7] God has given me the glad tiding that my followers will always triumph through their reasoning in support of the truth, and that they and their progeny will be greatly honoured in the world, so that they may realize that he who comes from God is never in a loss. [8] God has promised me that until the world comes to an end He will continue to manifest my blessings so much so that kings shall seek blessings from my garments. [9] Twenty years ago, God gave me the glad tiding that I would be denied and that people would not accept me, but that He will accept me and manifest my truth with powerful assaults. [10] God has promised me that for the purpose of once again manifesting the light of my blessings, a person will be raised from among your progeny into whom He will breathe the blessings of the Holy Spirit. He will be characterized by inner purity and will have a close holy relationship with God. He will be

(A Manifestation of the True and the High)
And it will seem as if God descended from heaven.
وتلك عشرة كاملة
(These are the ten perfect signs)
Look! The time is coming and is indeed near when God will spread the acceptance of this Jama’at far and wide. It will spread in the East and West, North and South, and Islam will become synonymous with this Jama‘at. These are not the words of man. This is a revelation from God for Whom nothing is impossible.” (Tohfa-e-Golarviyyah, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 17, Pages 181-182)
