I see His pleasure. Allah is the Greatest. Regarding the first revelation, the Promised Messiah as said: God is about to manifest some of His powers for me. This is why He named me ‘Abdul-Q a dir. The word ان َضَو ر ان َضَو ر [ ri d w a n ] implies that God will manifest an act on earth that will prove and enlighten the world that He is pleased with me. Even in the world, when a king is pleased with someone, there is an expres- sion of this through actions as well. This means that ‘I am see- ing actions indicating His pleasure. ’ The pleasure of Allah the Exalted is very dear to a believer. It has been mentioned in a hadith that when the believers are admitted into Paradise, they will be told to ask for whatever they desire. They will submit, ‘O Lord! Be pleased with us. ’ The answer will be, ‘If I had not been pleased, then why would I have admitted you into Paradise?’ 1,2 1. Badr, vol. 1, no. 8, p. 2, dated 25 May 1905 2.
