Transliteration:( Wa tilka hujjatunaaa aatainaahaaa Ibraaheema 'alaa qawmih; narfa'u darajaatim man nashaaa'; inna Rabbaka Hakeemun 'Aleem )
166. From this is understood that the Knowledge of the Prophet ? is Divinely inspired, they are not in need of anyone's tutoring. Also, they are never governed by any other authority besides Allah Almighty. If Mirza Ghulam Qadiyani was really a prophet, he should not be a tutored pupil, he should not have been a slave of infidels and dependent on the means provided by others. He should not have forsaken Hajj out of fear. Also, Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) calling the sun, etc. this is my Lord' is no polytheism but an argument and proof shown by Allah Almighty. Thus Allah Almighty has called it 'Our Argument.
167. Purely out of His blessings and bounty.
168. It is thus understood bestowing of high rank and status is not dependent on personal ability or good deeds. This is due to the Grace and Bounty of Allah Almighty. He made the angels of many thousands of years of worship to prostrate to Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) who at that point in time had not prostrated even once. From this, we learn that Prophets are superior to any creation of Allah Almighty. None are equal to them. If they were like us then it would be contradictory to this verse.
