Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 172 عَفَت ِ الدِّیَار ُ مَـحَلُّھَا و َ مَقَامُھَا عَفَت ِ الدِّیَار ُ مَـحَلُّھَا و َ مَقَامُھَا [Temporary residences and permanent ones will be wiped out. ] was fulfilled by the eradication of cities and encampments, nei- ther residences nor residents remaining. Mention was made of the hostile remarks made by the Aryah news- papers Daily Times and Aryah Patrika, and by members of the Ahl-e- Hadith. The Promised Messiah as said: Send them all the response that we are awaiting the heavenly verdict—we have no desire to reply to you. Keep saying what- ever you wish. Prophets are Trained Gradually The Promised Messiah as said: The training of the Prophets has consistently been occurring gradually in this manner. In the beginning, when the oppo- nents cause pain, they are commanded to exercise patience. The Prophets display patience until the suffering exceeds all bounds. Then God says, ‘Now I, Myself, will fight against your enemies. ’ Know for certain that the time is very near. At the time, I remember the Divine revelation that descended upon me a long time ago: ْرًا ك ِ رُ. و َاَلَ نُبْقِی ْ لَك َ مِن َ الْمُخْزِیَات ِ ذ َ َ اَجَلُك َ الْمُقَد ّب ُ َر َق ْرًا ك ِ رُ. و َاَلَ نُبْقِی ْ لَك َ مِن َ الْمُخْزِیَات ِ ذ َ َ اَجَلُك َ الْمُقَد ّب ُ َر َق [ Th e end of your appointed term is approaching and We shall not leave any trace of things that might cause humiliation for you. ]
