74 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad God are non-existent among religious communities that are dead. Miracles are the first brick of Islam and before anything else, belief in the unseen is neces - sary. The fact of the matter is that such views are the product of atheism, which continues to pervade society dangerously. Syed Ahmad has not understood the deeper reality of revelation. Inspiration from the heart has no more value than the flowery words of poets. It is regrettable that Maulvi Sahib spent so much money and made an effort, but to no avail. Maulvi Sahib should definitely write a letter to him and explain to him that miracles, converse with God and prophecies are precisely the things which establish Islam as a living religion. ” Freemasons The Promised Messiah as said: “At times I have considered learning more about the reality of Freemasons but I have never had the opportunity to look closely enough. Upon hearing the details that he presents in his lecture, 1 the greatness of the revelation that has been sent down to me becomes all the more apparent. The subject matter of the revelation that I have received is that: Freemasons will not be put in power to kill him. 2 In this revelation also perhaps there is an indi - cation towards the reality of Freemasons in that they use the influence of their society in matters where the law is of no avail. It is my view that there must be high-ranking agents and officials—even certain prominent princes—who are a part of Freemason society. Their influence and power is probably what prevents members from divulging their secrets; after all, we are not talking about some miracle or spiritual wonder. It appears that such a society probably exists out of expediency to maintain power and rule. ” A Revelation by Way of Warning Today, I received a revelation by way of warning and there is also an awe-striking dream. The revelation is as follows: 1 This is a reference to a lecture of John Alexander Dowie. Refer to Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 24, dated 17 November 1901, p. 3. [Publisher] 2 The Promised Messiah as states: “While I was thinking about death, I was overtaken by a light slumber and the revelation came: [Urdu] ‘Freemasons will not be put in power to destroy him. ’ From the word ‘Freemasons,’ I understood: people who conspire secretly…This is a grand prophecy which predicts that people will conspire to kill me but God Almighty will not give them power over me. ” ( Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 37, dated 10 October 1901, p. 7) [Publisher] p. 346 ٌ َم ُْوْ َم ْ َح َ ِم ِ َم ُْوْ َم ْ َح َْمَ َاَل ْی َِلَ َا ُ ِت ْ ِر ََظَ ْن
