any one aware of HIS Mysteries, Except an apostlewhom He has chosen.

THE HOLY QURN S 27: 62 72

We know that one of the miracles performed byJesus, was to inform people of some of the mysterious affairs.

" ... And Jesus said I declare to you what you EAT andwhat you store in your houses ..."

THE HOLY QURN S 3: 94

Mohammad the prophet of Islam too, declaredmany secrets by the way of God's inspiration.

" That is of the unseen reports which we reveal byinspiration unto you."

THE HOLY QURN S 21 201

So the prophets may inform of the unseen throughthe inspiration of God. It is in the Holy QURN that the prophet says:

" I tell you not that, with me are the treasure of Allah; nor do I know what is hidden,( THE UNSEEN )nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow that which is revealed to me."

THE HOLY QURN S 6 :05

This, of course, refers to the substantial knowledge, and not the knowledge obtained by Divine teachings to the prophets.

WE BELIEVE that these reverend prophets haveperformed miracles and super natural acts by the leaveof God; and because we believe their miracles to bewith the permission of God, we don't consider that asort of polytheism. According to the HOLY QURN; Jesus christ raised the dead to life again, but by theleave of God, and healed the incurable diseases:

" By Allah's leave", said Jesus;" I shall give sight to theblind, and heal the lepers, and I raise the dead to life,( with the permission of God. )"

THE HOLY QURN S 3: 94

71THE INTERCESSION OF THE PROPHETS

WE BELIEVE that all the prophets, particularlyour prophet, are in a position to intercede with God on behalf of a certain group of sinners. This intercession must be, and is by the leave of God.

" No intercessor can plead with Him, except after Hisleave."

THE HOLY QURN S 01: 3

" Who is there to intercede in His presence, except withHis permission."

THE HOLY QURN S 2: 552

If in some of the the Holy QURNIC verses wesee that intercesion is rejeted: it refers to the absolute intercession, and not that which is by God's leave:

" O, Believers! Bestow in alms a part of that which wehave given you, before that day arrives in which there shall be neither trading, nor friendship, and nor intercession."

THE HOLY QURN S 2: 452

Here the independent intercession is meant whichis not by the leave of God We have always repeated that some of the Holy QURNIC verses describe some other.

WE BELIEVE that the intercession is a goodmeans for training and turning the sinners to the rightpath. It enjoins virtue and sanctity, and inspires hope

in these who deserve it. It also is a notice to thesinners: not to ruin the bridges behind themselves, and live a little way of return to their Merciful Lord.

81THE QUESTION OF RESORTING

WE BELIEVE that resorting too, is similar to theintercession, which permits those who have problems and difficulties to resort to the prophets and saints for a help; so that they may pray to God asking HIM to solve the problems of the resortees:

" When they oppressed themselves, would they havecome to you( i. e MOHAMMAD )to ask Allah's forgiveness for them, they surely would have found Allah an acceptor of their repentance and the Most Merciful."

THE HOLY QURN S 4: 46

In the story of JOSEPH the dreamer, found in theHOLY QURN, when his brothers felt regret and repented, they resorted to their father( JACOB )to ask God to forgive them their sins. The old father agreed with their request, and promised to ask for their

salvation in due time. In this respect the HOLYBOOK has:

" They said," O, our father! Ask forgivness for our sins, for we were really at fault." He said," Soon I shall ask my LORD to forgive you all, for HE is indeed often forgiving and Merciful"

THE HOLY QURN S 21: 79 89

Of course one should not transgress the logicalbounds by thinking that the prophets could do as they liked without the permission of God. One should not try to change a case of resorting or interceding into a case of worshipping the prophets and the saints which is then mere Polytheism. They substantially can do nothing unless God permits them to do it.:--

" Say:" I have no power over any good or bad tomyself, except by the will of Allah.

If I had the knowledge of the hidden, I would haveavailed myself of much goodness, and no harm wouldhave touched me at all.

I am only a warner to all of you and a bearer of gladtiding to those who have faith."

THE HOLY QURN S 7 :881

91THE PRINCIPLES OF ALL THE PROPHET'S MISSIONSARE ONE

WE BELIEVE that all the prophets pursued thesame aim which is the prosperity of mankind, through faith in God and the resurrection, and by religious training. This is why we respect all the prophets. We learn from the HOLY QURN:--

" The Apostle( i. e Mohammad )believes in that which isrevealed to him from his LORD, and so do men of faith they all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and in all HIS APOSTLES. They say:" We make no distinction between any of the prophets. They also say:

we hear( THE PROPHETS )and we obey. OUR LORD! we seek thy forgiveness, that to you ends all the roads."

THE HOLY QURN S 2: 582

By the elapse of time, man was prepared to havenewer and better training. The religions too, gradually turned deeper and deeper, till at last Islam was revealed with that perfection needed to cover all

purposes and all times

" The unbelievers at this day have all abandoned todespair of vanquishing your religion. Have no fear of them, and only fear me.

This day I have perfected your religion for you, andhave completed my favour to you, and have chosen foryou, ISLM to be your religion."

THE HOLY

QURN S 5: 3

02REPORTS OF THE FORMER PROPHETS

WE BELIEVE that many of the former prophets, have informed their followers of the coming of the next one. For instance, Moses and Jesus have given a clear account of the mission of the last of the prophets, Mohammad.

" Those who follow the Apostle the unletered prophetwhom they find mentioned in their own scripture in the LAW and the GOSPEL. He commands them what is just and equitable, and forbids them what is evil ...."

THE HOLY QURN S 7: 751

This is why we read in the history that a little whilebefore the coming of Mohammad, a group of Jews

came and settled in MEDINA, waiting for the prophetthey expected to appear, as it was foretold in theirscripture.

deut. 81: 51 JOHN 41: 61 52 JOHN 51: 62 JOHN 61: 7

When the prophet came, some of them acceptedhis doctrine and converted to faithful believers, and some found their material benefits and political positions endangered and rejected the invitation toIslam.

12THE PROPHETS AND THEIR REFORMS IN ALLASPECTS OF HUMAN LIFE

WE BELIEVE that the Divine Religions sentthrough the Apostles particularly Islam not only improves the social life of the individuals, or heeds the moral and ethics of people.; It also covers all the different aspects of the human life. Even the root of some necessary sciences are taken from them.

WE BELIEVE that one of the main objects of theDivine leaders and Apostles, is to achieve completesocial justice:
