hareem, a person who lives and dies for Quran is much better than a Hafiz e Quran. Promised Messiah (as) knew Quran's secrets as no other in the Ummah. He also cited Quran verses in his speech and writings without reading from a book. People who lived with him saw him reciting the Quran and making notes even while he was traveling on a horse driven coach.
Such questions are just an excuse to create useless debate.
We are not the judge so we can't say who's good and who's not. I don't know any muslim mujadid and scholar who didn't know Quran by heart and of course the one who's a hafiz and then have wisdom of understanding Quran has more knowledge than those who are able to understand Quranic Arabic only.
I'm not comparing Huffaz with non Huffaz people but Huffaz with knowledge and understanding vs non-huffaz but with knowledge and understanding of ayat.
Now memorizing Quran is actually one of the condition of being able to understand Quran, there are other conditions like knowledge of hadith, sciences of hadith, knowledge of Islamic Law and Theology and so on. Someone's claim of only understanding Quran doesn't make him anything. People with knowledge and people without knowledge cannot be equal.
And instead of answering my question you're making yet another claim that "mirza ghulam understood Quran better than anyone in this Ummah*".* Now that includes all the Sahaba[ra] who directly learnt from the Prophet[saw] and then all the taba tabeen and then all the great scholars like imam bukhari, imam muslim, imam jafar sadiq, imam Abu hanifa, imam malik etc.....
You're not really backing up the claims you made, with any proof .............there's a difference between a hafiz and a person who knows few ayat and writes them here and there, anyway...
so he wasn't Hafiz but he knew Qur'an's secrets, I got your point. So talking of secrets, did he know the meanings of Haruf-ul-muqatta'at and the ambigous* ayat(mutashbihat)?*
I still didn't get the proper answer of ghulam ahmed being mentioned in Quran as a prophet.
