446 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 8 Trust in Allah There was mention of an enemy that he would carry out some mischief and try to cause harm to the Promised Messiahas. The Promised Messiahas said: I am not afraid of this; he may go ahead and do it. In fact, I am happy if he does because it is precisely on such occasions that Allah the Exalted shows Signs for me. I have observed keenly that whenever an enemy planned to commit wickedness against me, God Almighty always showed a Sign from it in support of me. My trust is in God; man does not amount to anything. Baba Nanak was a Muslim A Sikh appeared in the presence of the Promised Messiahas. Baba [Nanak] Şahib was mentioned. The Promised Messiahas said: Baba [Nanak] Şahib was a Muslim and used to pray. The Sikhs make a great mistake by abandoning the religion of their Guru and following absurd things and have developed relations with the idolatrous Hindus. The Sikh replied: Baba [Nanak] Şahib has said that a person who does not pray is a dog and that one should get up early in the morning, perform ablution and pray. ¹ 1.
