216 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad their necks. A righteous man is never disgraced or deprived of provision. One name of God is Aziz (Mighty). A person who lives a life that is devoted to God can never be disgraced. If the Jews were not living a life of impurity, why would they have suffered the consequences mentioned in the following verse: ُ ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّة And they were smitten with abasement. Reflect on this closely. This possesses hidden secrets and one realises that the ways of the Jewish people would become corrupted. Now, after casting a glance upon these religions, tell us sincerely, is there any other way that your heart may be satisfied? Can you gain any light from the Jews who are a manifestation of ُ ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّة (those smitten with disgrace) ? Can the Christians, who deify a humble, weak, powerless unsuccessful man, give anyone success? What fruits can a man give to others who pray, when his own night-long prayers were useless and in vain? How can a man who says: ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sa- bachthani,’ meaning, ‘O God! O God! Why hast thou forsaken me?’ and admits that God has abandoned him, join others with God? Only Islam Possesses Living Blessings Observe and listen closely! It is Islam alone which possesses blessings and does not let one fall into despair or failure. The proof is that I stand as an example of its blessings, life and truthfulness. No Christian can demonstrate that they hold a relationship with heaven. The hallmark of a believing Christian, as stated by Christianity, is that if a believer says unto a mountain, move from this place, it shall move. But what to speak of a mountain. There is not a single Christian who can flip over an overturned shoe. On the other hand, I have demonstrated and clearly shown through my power- ful signs that living blessings and living signs are the distinction of Islam alone. I have published innumerable announcements, and on one occasion I published 16,000 copies of an announcement. Now these people have nothing in their hands but to file fabricated cases against me in court, falsely implicate me in mur- der, and hatch conspiracies to disgrace me. But how can a servant of the Mighty God be disgraced by the means through which they have sought my dishonour? It was this very ‘dishonour’ which paved for me a way to honour.
