Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 6 animals have been slaughtered since time immemorial by those nations that are dominant, but no wrath descends upon them. The Promised Messiah as said: God Almighty carries the attributes of being Independent and Besought of all, and He shows mercy as well, but my belief is that His mercy is dominant. Man ought to remain engaged in prayer; God’s mercy eventually comes to assist. 1 7 November 1906 The Condition of the Present Age It was mentioned that nowadays everyone who wishes to make a name for himself or seeks to gain fame, deems it necessary to express some measure of animosity towards the Divine Movement of truth in order to attain some respect for himself. The Promised Messiah as said: The example of these people is like that of the Pathan about whom the Rafidis say that a Shia said to him, ‘A Sunni is some- one who hates Hadrat ‘Ali ra to the measure of a barley seed. ’ He responded, Al h amdulill a h [Praise be to Allah]! My hatred amounts to the size of a melon. ’ The same is the condi- tion of these people. Whoever you see takes pride in flaunting a greater hatred for us. 1.
