The Heavenly Sign — Page 61
61 Anyone who has eyes can see that all the favours which Allah Almighty is showering upon me are signs. Pay heed to me! God Almighty has declared in the Holy Qur’an that there is none more unjust than he who forges a lie against Him. 41 He never fails to punish the impostor and gives him no respite. But now, by the grace of God, this is the eleventh year since I proclaimed to be the Mujaddid, the Like of the Messiah, and Recipient of Divine Revelations. Is this not a Sign? If I were not from Him, how could I have survived a full decade, which is a considerable period of man's life? I ask again: Is it not a Sign that no one can come forward to engage in a contest against me in announcing Divine prophecies? Were any one to dare it, God would humiliate him terribly. Similarly, Allah's support for me is manifest in hundreds of ways. I am the Garden of the Holy One; Whosoever designs to cut me down, will himself be cut down. The opponent shall be disgraced and the one who denies me shall be sorry and remorseful. All these Signs are for those who can recognize them. 42 41 Al- S aff 61:8 [Translator] 42 O you who are so badly inflicted with distrust And are bent upon reviling, I am anxious to tog out the Muslims And it is strange, indeed, that you call me a disbeliever.
