348 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Oye blind ones! Who has taught you to oppose the truth? Faith has been ruined; external attacks and internal innovations have wounded all the limbs of the Faith, and twenty-three years of the [fourteenth] century have also passed; millions of Muslims have renounced Islam and have become enemies of God and His Messenger, but you keep insisting that no one has come from God yet the Dajjal [Antichrist] has indeed appeared. Show me any Christian cleric now who says that the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, made no proph- ecy. Remember that time has long since passed before me. Now the time has come when God desires to demonstrate that the Messenger, Muḥammad of Arabia, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who has been vilified and denigrated and in whose rejection the unfor- tunate Christian clerics have written and published millions of books in this age, is truthful, and indeed the Chief of the truthful. He was vehemently rejected, but in the end, it was this very Messenger who was bestowed the crown of honour. I am one of his servants 1* and subordinates to whom God speaks and converses and upon whom the gate of the divine mysteries and Signs has been opened. O ye ignorant ones! You may allege it to be disbelief or whatever else you like, but what value can your denunciations have in the eyes of one who, under divine command, is constantly engaged in the service of the Faith and witnesses divine bounties pouring like rain! The same God who descended upon the heart of Ibn-e-Maryam 1. There is a revealed couplet about this: احمد کی شان ہے جس کا غلام دیکھو مسیح الزمان ہے Beyond fancy and imagination is the glory of Aḥmad[a], Whose servant, you can see, is the Messiah of the age! = بر ترگمان و و هم (Author)
