76 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 8 28 OCTOBER 1905 (In Delhi) Abandoned Mosques There was mention of many abandoned mosques around Delhi. The Promised Messiahas said: Getting them repaired was no difficult matter. If people wanted, they would have done it, but what can anyone do when God Almighty diverts attention from some matter? Apart from this, some mosques are not built with correct intentions but are only built to say, and have it be said, that this is our mosque. The Promised Messiahas said: All affairs depend on the right intention and piety of the heart. An elderly gentleman had much wealth. Someone objected, and he replied: مگر انداختم در گل کے انداختم در دل When did I place it in my heart; Perhaps I threw it into the mud. Therefore, when a person engages in worldly business with his heart attached to God, nothing can come between him and God, no matter how immense the matters he is engaged in may be.
