THE REVIEW OF RELIGIONS
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as

The Holy Qur’an has taught us that man together with his soul and all his capacities and every particle of his body, is the creation of God. Therefore, according to the teaching of the Holy Qur’an, we are the property of God and we possess no right which we can claim from Him, for not rendering which He could be held responsible. In this juxtaposition we cannot call God ‘Just’. As we are entirely empty-handed we call Him Rahim [The Ever Merciful]. To call Him ‘Just’ would imply that we have rights against Him and for failure to discharge such rights He could be charged with default.¹
