118 MALFUZAT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 7 in support of the truth of their religion. Nevertheless, if their misgivings are removed by excellent speech and kindness, it is hoped that they will come to understand. I have seen that some Christians who come here usually understand when they are given an explanation gently and change their religion (such as Master 'Abdul-Haqq, a new Muslim). Thus, my advice is to be engaged in the service of the Faith as far as possible because this is the time for this work; if no one does it now, when will they do it? Some people have not received the details about the mission and claims of the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, but they have good inten- tions and cannot make a definitive decision due to their being far away. Upon their mention, the Promised Messiahas said: This is indeed the practice of the righteous because they do not have complete knowledge. And knowledge, in reality, is only that which a person is so familiar with as to have seen it. On the mention of revelations, the Promised Messiahas said: Since the mysteries of Divine decrees and determinations are profound and immensely fine, man sometimes makes a mistake in understanding revelations and visions. The Promised Messiahas left after giving the speech mentioned above but returned soon after that and said it was time for Asr [Prayer] and the Adhān [Call to Prayer] should be called. So, Khan Şahib Shādī Khan went to call the Adhān and the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, held a gathering.
