Says, The Almighty Allah بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم دا قال ابهُ رَبِّ أَبِي كَيْفَ تُنِي الْمَوْلَى قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُو مِن قَالَ بَلَى وَلكِنْ لِيَطْمَينَ عَلَى قَالَ فَخُذَ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِ نَصْرُهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جزء اثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعِيًا وَا عَلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزُ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the Merciful And remember when Abraham said۔'My Lord, show me how Thou givest life to the dead۔' He said, Wast thou not believed? He said, 'Yes, but ask this that my heart may be al rest,' He answered, Take four birds and make them attached to thyself۔Then put cach of them on a hill; then call them; they will come to thee in haste۔And know that Allah is Mighty, Wisc۔' (Al-Baqara 261) Says, our Holy Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) عن ثوبَات قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم فَإِذَا رَيَّتُمُوهُ فَبَا لِحُوهُ وَلَوْ حَبُوا عَلَى التَّلْحِ فَإِنَّهُ خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِي When you find the Mahdi, perform bai'ah (pledge of allegiance) at his hands۔You must go to him, even if you have to reach him across icebound mountains on your knees۔He is the Mahdi and the Caliph of Allah۔(Ibn Maajah) Says, The Promised Messiah Look, how the Lord God Has made the whole world Bow down before me, In deep respect ! He found me obscure, Quite unknown; But He has carried my fame All over the globe ! Just Whatsoever I had desired ; Whatsoever I had longed for; Just whatsoever was my aim And object, even all that He has granted to me ! I was a poor man, with little Resources; but He bestowed On me an immense wealth, Which cannot be counted ! Out of the blessings Of this world, There is not one, In His grace, And great munificence, He has not granted To me ! (Translated from Urdu) 2
