Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 504 The Promised Messiah as said: A worldly person is so engulfed in the worry and grief of the world that the thought of its conclusion does not even care- lessly cross their mind; just as a person with an itch does not stop scratching at the scab, similarly, they are not satisfied. They drink their own blood like a dog and do not realise that the life of the world is worthless. For this reason, Allah the Exalted has taught the Muslims the supplication of: 1 ِرْيَغ ِبْوُضْغَمْلا ْمِهْيَلَع َواَل َنْيِّلٓاَّضلا ِرْيَغ ِبْوُضْغَمْلا ْمِهْيَلَع َواَل َنْيِّلٓاَّضلا Meaning that, ‘Save us from joining the people who are the worms of this very world; they deny the Messengers and Prophets for the sake of this world, and then punishment descends upon them in this very world. ’ This is a place of grave danger. Beware! Now a multitude of new instruments for dying have been produced. Many diseases have appeared that are completely novel, and then the plague has also emerged. Homes upon homes have become desolate and a calamity has struck the world. 2 1. S u rah al-F a ti h ah, 1:7 [Publisher] 2. Al- H akam, vol. 11, no. 40, p. 7, dated 10 November 1907
