Life of Ahmad — Page 666
POLICE HARASS AHMAD as as 666 If men like Barni and Phoenix were present on that occasion they would have surely been the first to raise the banner of revolt and run down the very Founder sa of Islam in their own conceit and ignorance! Prophets of God do not follow people’s fancies; they do what God tells them to do. That is how Abu Bakr ra consoled and satisfied Umar ra. Ahmad as , too, did what God told him to do. One thing is certain and that is that Ahmad as did not mean ill towards any one. Prophets of God never do. It was not he who desired such predictions. He preached the truth and asked people to accept or pray to God that He might guide them to the right path. He showed signs and worked miracles. He blessed and healed people. He foretold the future. He transformed the lives of his followers. He continued to the last to do his duty even as a warner as directed by God. But it is an old habit of the unbelievers to ask for signs especially those which bring destruction. (See the Holy Quran Al-Ra‘d 13:7, T a H a 20:133, Al-Anbiy a ’ 21:5, Al-Baqarah 2:119, Al-A‘r a f 7:77, Al-An‘ a m 6:37, etc) The enemies of Ahmad as also did the same. They were fond of such signs and insisted on seeing them. And when Ahmad as made such predictions and his enemies actually became the victims of Divine wrath and perished of their own wickdeness and transgression, their friends and colleagues instead of accepting Ahmad as clamoured against him and tried to cover up the truth and confuse the issue.
