72 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1 ُ ٍب ِ ْس ََْحَْت ُي َا ْل َُْيُْث ُح ْ ُن ِ َم ُ ٗه ْ ُق ُ َز ْ َر َ ُي َوَ Meaning, He grants a righteous person provision from where he neither per - ceives nor expects. These are the promises of God. Who can be greater than God in fulfilling their promises? Hence, believe in God, for those who fear God are never wasted. God Almighty states: ًا ْج ََٗهٗ َمَْخَْر ْل َْْل ُع ْـ َج َ ُي He will make for him a way out. Now this is a glad tiding that is general in nature. If you are righteous, God will be your Provider. God will fulfil His promise fully. Keeping things hidden is a deficiency in faith. Any affliction that befalls a person is due to their own weak - ness. Just observe how fire consumes people, but it could not burn Abraham as. It is only through righteousness that the way of God is opened. Adopt Righteousness If you would like to witness miracles then adopt righteousness. There are people who constantly witness miracles. These days I am writing a book in Arabic and an announcement as well. In writing this work, I witness a miracle on every line. As I write, wherever I am stuck, the appropriate words and phrases, which are eloquent and articulate, full of meaning and insight, are revealed to me, and in this way I write passages upon passages. Even though I cannot present this as an argument for other people, for me, this is quite a miracle. Even if I were to swear on oath and say that God has manifested 50,000 miracles through me, this would not at all be a lie. In every respect, the rain of God’s succour is falling down upon me. Indeed, strange are the hearts of those who call me a fabricator, but what can they do? As the saying goes: ‘only the saint recognises a saint. ’ How can someone recognise me without righteousness? If a thief set out at night to commit a rob - bery, and if on the way he saw a saint hidden away in a corner, who was actually engaged in solitary worship, he would think that the saint is a thief like himself. God is hidden in the most discrete of ways, yet He is also the most manifest of all. He is so manifest that He has become hidden, like the sun, which no one can look at. One cannot recognise God by way of certainty of experience until one treads the path of righteousness. Faith cannot be strengthened by argumentation. 1 at-Talaq , 65:4 p. 344
