346. Essence of Islam-1. No one can even dare to compete with Muḥammad. . Beware, O foolish and misguided enemy!. Beware of the sharp sword of Muḥammad!. The path of the Lord God, which mankind has lost;. Seek it in the progeny of Muḥammad. . Beware, O denier of the status of Muḥammad. And of the manifest light of Muḥammad!. Even though miracles are no more;. Come and witness them among the devotees of. Muḥammad. [Announcement February 20, 1893, Majmū‘a Ishtihārāt, Vol. 1, pp. 371-372]. Muḥammadsa is our Leader and Guide (Persian Poem):. That Prophet whose name is Muḥammad;. We are forever holding on to his lap. . His love that entered our bodies with the milk of our mothers;. Became our very life, and will last till death. . He is the best of the Prophets and best of the creation;. Prophethood found perfection in him. . We drink deep the water of his fountain,. Whoever has been satiated, has been satiated by it. . Whatever revelation or inspiration is granted to us;. Is because of him, not because of us. . Through him are we blessed with guidance and perfection;. Without him, meeting the Eternal Lord is impossible. . To follow every one of his commandments is ingrained in me;. Whatever is proven to be from him is my faith. [Sirāj-e-Munir, Rūḥānī Khazā'in Vol. 12, p. 95]
