Rather, we are talking about a holy personality who soared in the sky of glory and greatness, until it reached the highest ranks and the highest station. No one preceded it and no one will follow it later in all virtues, feats, virtues and honors. It is the great personality that represents The natural extension of the line of prophecy and the message in the land, and it is the infallible personality that guides to the one who is the most upright.
