143 Malfuzat – Volume IV more could there be? Why would I be concerned on account of others? Allah the Exalted does not care for those who turn away from Him. Until you remain silent before the Arbiter appointed by God Almighty, you cannot foster the faith that God wishes to see in you, and for which He has sent me. I truthfully declare that this action of mine was not due to my own sugges - tion or thoughts; rather, it is by divine guidance; it is for the prophecy of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. I do not see the need for any other judge. Anyone who is willing can accept and anyone whose heart is diseased is free to leave. I advise such people to seek the forgiveness of God profusely and fear God, lest He raises another nation to take their place. The Edicts of the Wicked Scholars Against the Promised Messiah are a Sign of His Truthfulness Once, I received the revelation that someone is referring to me and says: َ ْن ِْیْ � َاَلِد ُِْیُْح ْج ُ ْی ُ َّل َُجُ � َاَلِر َا َ ِذ ٰ ُھ Meaning, this man is uprooting the Faith. I was happy to hear this because the narrations relate that these are the sorts of edicts that would be passed against the Messiah and Mahdi. This is what is recorded in Hujaj-ul- Kiramah. Ibni Arabi writes that when the Messiah descends a person will stand up and say: ْا َ ْن َ ْن ِْیْ َد َ ِر َ � ْی ََغ ُ َّل َُجُ � َاَلِر َا َ ِذ ٰ ُھ َ � ْن ِ َا Verily, this man has changed the religion. Furthermore, in part two of Mujaddid Sahib’s Maktubat it is clearly written that the expositions of the Messiah will be intricate secrets that the people will not be able to comprehend. Even though he will derive his insights from the Quran, the people will still oppose him. The fact of the matter is that just as the Promised Messiah is accompanied by the sign of joining together, he will also necessar - ily bring change—as the common people would perceive. For in his capacity as the Arbiter, the Promised Messiah will eradicate all the self-invented beliefs and corruptions that were to arise during the Era of the Misguided, and the people will refer to this as a change in their religion. I say that if you fear the opponents then what benefit is there in accepting me? Due to the opposition against me, you are named a disbeliever and Antichrist, then what more can there be? And if this is what people call ‘a change in religion’ then tell me, now when I have given p. 413
