In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful [Translation of Revelations]¹ Allah has placed blessing in you, O Ahmad. Whatever you did let loose, it was not you but it was Allah who let it loose. Allah has taught you the Quran—that is, disclosed its true meanings to you so that you should warn the people whose ancestors have not been warned, and that the way of the guilty ones might become manifest; that is, he who turns away from you be known. Say, 'I have been commissioned from God and I am the first of the believers. ' Say, "The truth has come and falsehood has vanished away; and falsehood was bound to vanish. Every blessing is from Muḥammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him; so, highly blessed is he who taught and he who has been taught. They will say, 'This is not revelation, rather these are self-coined phrases. Tell them, 'God is the One who has revealed these phrases and then leave them occupied with their sport. ' Tell them, 'If these phrases have been invented by me and are not the Words of God, then I deserve the harshest punishment. And who is guilty of greater wrong than one who invents a lie and utters falsehood against Allah?” God is He who has sent His Messenger and Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth in order so that He should make this faith prevail over all diverse faiths. God's decrees are bound to be fulfilled; no one can change them. People will say, 'Whence have you obtained this status? All of this being described as revelation is man's word and has been manufactured 1. The English translation of the revelations is based on the Urdu translation given by the Promised Messiah as in this book. [Publisher]
