Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 92 witness that I am the very one whom the people rejected, yet I stand before you as the elect of God. Imagine when I came here fourteen years ago—who wanted so much as a single man to be with me at that time? The ulema, the ascetics, and all kinds of revered and respected ones desired that I be destroyed with every sign and trace of this [Ahmadiyya] Movement being obliterated. They would never tolerate that it be destined for progress, but the God who always helps His servants and manifests the prevalence of the righteous, supported me and—totally contrary to the hopes and plans of my opponents—He bestowed such acceptance upon me that He directed the attention of an entire people toward me who came to me tearing the veils and barriers of these oppositions and difficulties, and they continue to come. It is now an occasion for reflection: can this success be achieved through human schemes and plans—that the influen- tial people of the world plot the death of an individual and all kinds of conspiracies are hatched against him, setting ablaze a vicious flame for him, yet he emerges unscathed from all these calamities? Certainly not! These are the works of God that He has always manifested. Furthermore, there is this powerful evidence of the truth of my claim that twenty-five years ago, when no one was familiar with my name, nor did anyone come to visit me in Qadian or corre- spond with me, yet in that state of anonymity and helplessness, Allah the Exalted addressed me and said: َ اْل َ و ِّٰ هّٰلل َ تُصَعِّر ْ لِـخَلْق ِ ا اْل ُل ِّ فَـج ٍّ عَـمِیْق ٍ. ك ْ ُل ِّ فَـج ٍّ عَـمِیْقٍ. یَاْتِیْك َ مِن ك ْ یَاْتُوْن َ مِن َ اْل َ و ِّٰ هّٰلل َ تُصَعِّر ْ لِـخَلْق ِ ا اْل ُل ِّ فَـج ٍّ عَـمِیْق ٍ. ك ْ ُل ِّ فَـج ٍّ عَـمِیْقٍ. یَاْتِیْك َ مِن ك ْ یَاْتُوْن َ مِن َ تَذَرْنِی ْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْت َ خَیْـرُالْوَارِثِیْنَ. اْل ِّ تَسْئَم ْ مِّن َ النَّاسِ. رَب َ تَذَرْنِی ْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْت َ خَیْـرُالْوَارِثِیْنَ. اْل ِّ تَسْئَم ْ مِّن َ النَّاسِ. رَب [Help will come to you by every distant track. People will come to you by every distant track so that the track will become deep due to excessive travel. Be not arrogant towards Allah’s creatures and be not tired of
