And I am certain in my heart that I alone am sufficient for all of them. Those people went inside the garden, and I also went behind them. When I went in, I saw that they were all dead—their heads, hands, and feet had been cut off, and their skins had come off. Then, witnessing the sight of God Almighty’s powers, I was overcome with ecstasy, and I began to weep. Who has the power to do such a thing? The Promised Messiah as said: This army means such people who want to make the mem- bers of this Jam a ‘at apostates and want to distort their beliefs and want to cut down the trees of the garden of our Jam a ‘at. God Almighty will defeat them with the manifestation of His power, and He will destroy and wipe out all their efforts. The Promised Messiah as said: When it is seen that his head has been cut off, it means all their pride will be broken, and their arrogance and haughtiness will be crushed. And the hand is a weapon with which man fights the enemy. So the hand being cut off means they will have no means to resist or oppose. And the feet can be used to run away when defeated, but their feet are also cut off, which means that for them there will be no place of escape. And the fact that it is seen that even their skin has come off means that all their veils will be lifted, and their faults will be exposed.
