I wrote <strong>Barahin</strong>-e-<strong>Ahmadiyya</strong>, which contains 300 incontrovertible,<br />
rational arguments for the divine origin of the Holy Quran—<br />
the Word of God to which these people have so arrogantly turned<br />
their backs. It is perfectly clear that he who is enchanted by reason<br />
can only be satisfied by reason, and he who is misled by reason can<br />
only be guided back by reason.<br />
Every believer ought to realize how this book, which comprises<br />
300 rational arguments, will benefit mankind and dispel<br />
the doubts of all sceptics and reveal the light of Islam in all its<br />
glory and splendour. Only those who do not reflect upon the<br />
plight of the age, or ignore its ills and their consequences, or have<br />
no interest in faith, or bear no love for God and His Messenger sa<br />
will ignore such an important project. Friends! In these turbulent<br />
times Islam can only stand its ground if it repels the besieging<br />
forces of misguidance with an equal force and defends itself<br />
against the enemy onslaught with the mighty power of truth. The<br />
pitch darkness that has engulfed the world will only be dispelled<br />
when a vast number of proofs in support of Islam enlighten the<br />
world and the rays of its truth spread in all directions. In these<br />
times, which are riven with differences, spiritual unity can only<br />
be brought about by a closely reasoned book, which not only<br />
reveals the profound secrets of the ultimate reality but also helps<br />
man reach the true source of the reality upon whose knowledge<br />
depends the contentment of hearts.<br />
Dear elders! It is extremely naive to think that we can defend<br />
our religion in this age without employing the most effective<br />
rational proofs and arguments. Look around and see how opinionated<br />
people have become and how adversely the progress of<br />
rational sciences has affected their thinking. Educated people<br />
