182 opponents ruin themselves in vain. I am not a plant that can be uprooted by their hands. If their predecessors and their succes- sors, their living and their dead, were all to unite and pray for my ruin, my God would convert their prayers into curses and slap their faces with them. Look, hundreds of wise people continue exiting your Jam a‘ at to join my Jam a‘ at! An uproar is unfolding in heaven and the angels are drawing [those with] pure hearts toward us. Now, can man stop this heavenly operation? Try to obstruct it if you think you have the strength. Use all the cunning and deceit that the opponents of the Prophets employed against them in the past, and leave nothing untried. Use your utmost strength. Pray so hard for evil to befall me that you arrive at death’s door and then see what harm you can bring about. God’s heavenly Signs are pouring down like rain, but unfortu- nate men raise objections from afar. How can we cure the hearts that have a seal set upon them! O Lord! Have mercy upon this Ummah!
