An Exposition of Some Criticisms Against Khilafat-e-Rashida — Page 19
AN EXPOSITION OF SOME CRITICI SMS AG AINST KHILAFAT - E - RASHIDA 19 Lord for their well - being. Thus says Musleh Maood, the Second Successor to the Promised Messiah: “For you there is a well - wisher who loves you and shares your woes and afflictions and prays for you before God. Other people have none like this available to them. Your Khalifa is concerned about your welfare and intercedes God on your behalf while others have none to do this for them. ” (Barakat - i - Khilafat). It is certainly not possible for any Dictator to show this type of intimate concern for his people, nor to have the desire of suffering nightly inconveniences in prayers for them. This is because the institution of Khilafat belongs to spiritual realms and is bound by the seven special features making it impossible for dictatorship to creep in or evil consequences to crop out.
