The Promised Messiahas said: “The era of prophethood could be described as نور على نور (light upon light); it was a shining sun. However, the miracles and wonders that are attributed to the saints after this era cannot be proven and one cannot clearly determine their historical authenticity. For example, the miracles of Sheikh Abdul-Qadir Jilanirh were penned some two hundred years after his demise. Furthermore, such saints were not met with circumstances where they contended against adversaries as have I, nor were they faced with the sort of trial by which I am confronted in this age.”
