h a d rat Mirza ghulam AHmAD as 72 There is no need for the Lord of the Worlds to take the groups of those that corrupt as helpers, for He can send down torment from the sky if He wants to destroy the unbelievers. Why does the Holy One need the sinner? He has no need for the Jihad of the transgressors. It the practice of Allah that He may support the disbeliever, but He never supports the sinner and the unjust, and likewise the jealousy of the Lord of the Worlds requires this. By Allah, whoever assays these scholars will find that most of them are like those who manufacture counterfeit dirhams, plating them with silver and presenting them to people as refined, solid, high-quality, newly minted, authentic coins made of pure silver bars. Indeed, this is the condition of most scholars: they fear peo- ple and do not fear their Lord, and you find most of them blind. Had they feared their Lord, their eyes would have been opened, and they would have seen matters rightly. They were destroyed by relentless stinginess and extreme cowardice. No sound mind or upright character is left in them, and they became like madmen. They say, “We will not believe in you,” they are divided into sects and are not in agreement. While Allah has sent a servant, so they can make him a judge in all that is in dispute between them and to make him one of the conquerors, to submit to him with full submission and then find not in their hearts any demur concern- ing that which he decided. That is the arbiter that came. Those who followed him during times of persecution, came to him with pious hearts, enduring people’s curses and fearing a curse descend- ing from the highest heavens. These are the truly righteous, and they are among the forgiven. O people, you were waiting for the Messiah, and Allah mani- fested him as He wished. Therefore, submit yourself to your Lord
