SOME REVELATIONS II SOME REVELATIONS 11 OCTOBER 1905 Before the death of Maulawi Şahib¹: يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ [O people, worship your Lord who created you. ] 12 OCTOBER 1905 إِنِّي مُهِينٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ اهَانَتَكَ [I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you. ] The Promised Messiahas said: I have come to understand the first revelation to mean that excessively mourning Maulawi 'Abdul-Karīm's passing is a sort of idolatry since someone who is excessively loved or whose loss is excessively mourned falls within those deemed worthy of worship. God calls one, and another is put in his place. He is All-Powerful and Self-Sufficient. 1. This likely refers to Hadrat Maulawi 'Abdul-Karima, who passed away in 1905. [Publisher]
