27 October 1905 75 O Muslims! Reflect on what harm there is in this for you if Jesus died. Has not your beloved Prophet s as passed away? You do not get angry at the mention of the death of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Why do you get angry upon hearing the mention of the death of Jesus? I do not have any selfish purpose. I do not desire any fame. I only long for the progress of Islam. Allah the Exalted knows my heart well. He it is who has placed this zeal in my heart. I do not speak at my own behest. For twenty-five years, the rev- elation of God has been making me say this. This revelation is from that time: َ اَلرَّحْمٰن ُ عَلَّم َ الْقُرْاٰن َ اَلرَّحْمٰن ُ عَلَّم َ الْقُرْاٰن [It is God who taught you the Quran. ] God desires the guilty to become distinct and the righteous to become distinct. There is no benefit in attacking me. An insight- ful person cannot abandon his insight. I promise that if there is a righteous seeker after truth, he should come to me, and I will show the newest of Sign. Should I give up such a degree of certainty and fall in line behind your conjectures? The person whom God gave insight, whose authenticity He set a seal upon with Signs, converse, and dialogue; what should such a person do with your concocted thoughts? If you cannot believe even after seeing so many things, then: 1 اْوُلَمْعِا ىٰلَع ْمُكِتَناَكَم ْيِّنِا ٌلِماَع َفْوَسَف َنْوُمَلْعَت اْوُلَمْعِا ىٰلَع ْمُكِتَناَكَم ْيِّنِا ٌلِماَع َفْوَسَف َنْوُمَلْعَت You continue working at your station; I will continue doing my work. However, soon you will come to know who is true. 2 1. S u rah al-An‘ a m, 6:136 [Publisher] 2. Badr, vol. 1, no. 36, p. 3–5, dated 17 November 1905
