He does what He pleases: 1 ٖهِدَيِب ُتْوُكَلَم ِّلُك ٍءْيَش َّو ِهْيَلِا َنْوُعَجْرُت ٖهِدَيِب ُتْوُكَلَم ِّلُك ٍءْيَش َّو ِهْيَلِا َنْوُعَجْرُت Behold! What a distinction God has put between us and our enemies! It is this very Qadian in which many died, yet our Jam a ‘at was completely protected. Amongst those Muslims are many gadd i nash i n [the custodians of shrines]. Several claim to be recipients of ilh a m [revelation], and several make themselves out to be God’s near ones, but has any of them also been given this promise: ِ اِنِّی ْٓ اُحَافِظ ُ کُل َّ مَن ْ فِی الدَّار ِ اِنِّی ْٓ اُحَافِظ ُ کُل َّ مَن ْ فِی الدَّار I shall safeguard all those who are in your house. Certainly not. If anyone has such a claim, they should come forward so that Allah may prove their lie. Look! Whoever amongst them made such a claim was immediately seized. Char a gh D i n of Jammu had made the claim, and then there was Il a h i Bakhsh who wished for me to die of the plague, but both of them perished from the plague itself. A perfect believer never dies of the plague. The example of all the previous Prophets, peace be on them, is present. Did any prophet die of the plague? Then study the biographies of the 1. In Whose hand is the kingdom of all things. And to Him will you all be brought back ( S u rah Y a S i n, 36:84). [Publisher]
