6 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ابصرشدنمہےمرگددربوےئلگہگنرکدن ہکرتخہچنغراوارکددوتناتسنہترکدن As the breeze casts a glance upon the flower, it is ashamed; For while it makes the flower blossom, it cannot fold it back again. The effort that this man invested in thinking of that one verse is more than the effort people employ today in understanding a verse of the Holy Quran. The Quran is a casket of gems but the people are unaware of it. ” 1 12 September 1901 The Testimony of Time in Favour of the Promised Messiah The current state of Islam itself calls for God Almighty to establish a dispensa - tion that would deliver the Faith from these difficulties. Can a wise and prudent individual not appreciate that when there are earthly preparations, there would also be heavenly preparations? Have the opponents left any stone unturned in seeking to destroy and annihilate Islam? Just look towards the Christian priests and see the concerted efforts that they have made in this regard. Their intentions are to see Islam uprooted; only then, in their view, can peace—as they define it—be established. A person who considers the Holy Quran to be from Allah the Exalted and believes in the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to be a truthful Messenger of God Almighty, must realise that God Almighty has promised: 2 ِفُِظُْوَْنَ ٰـ ْح َ ْل َٗٗه ْل َِّنَا ا ََْرَ َو ُك ِّذِ ْل ا َا ْن ََّْزَْل َّن َُْحُْن َّن َِّنَا ا Verily, We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian. So in order to defend and ward off these unjust attacks upon Islam, would God not establish a heavenly dispensation at the head of this century in accordance with His age-old custom? Furthermore, He explicitly states in the Holy Quran: 1 Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 35, dated 24 September 1901, p. 6 2 al-Hijr, 15:10 p. 282 ً َر ُْيُْس ِ َر َْمََعَ ْلُْعُْس َ َن ِ
