Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 510 The Only Way to Safeguard against Atrocities The Promised Messiah as said: A great many atrocities are inflicted upon the oppressed, and we do not see the oppressors being taken to task before us. The reason for this has also been set forth by God Almighty in this very verse: 1 اَم اُؤَبْعَي ْمُكِب ْيِّبَر ْوَل اَل ْمُكُؤٓاَعُد اَم اُؤَبْعَي ْمُكِب ْيِّبَر ْوَل اَل ْمُكُؤٓاَعُد Meaning that, what does God care about you if you are neglect- ful of your supplications and Divine worship? Let cruelties and transgression be perpetrated upon the oppressed, no care will be shown regarding them until those who are oppressed foster a genuine bond with God by means of treading upon the straight path. And the oppression of the oppressed occurs because the oppressed one is himself like a sacrificial goat or a worm as he does not have a true relationship with God. Otherwise, is it possible that God should be the guarantor of his life here and in the Hereafter and thus responsible for his safety, and yet allow the attack of any cruel opposition to succeed against him? 2 1. But for your prayer to Him my Lord would not care for you ( S u rah al-Furq a n, 25:78). [Publisher] 2. Al- H akam, vol. 9, no. 5, p. 4,5, dated 10 February 1905
