Similarly, one who opposes the Appointee of God, does not oppose him but, in reality, opposes God. 1 Beware! Though God Almighty is mild in punishment, those who do not retract from their mischiefs and—instead of acknowledging their sins and bowing before God—torment and grieve the Messenger of God Almighty, are eventually apprehended, and are certainly apprehended. Look, extremely uncertain days are approaching. Therefore, you should repent before God sincerely, and supplicate to Him day and night with humility and pathos. May God Almighty enable you. Let’s pray now. After this, the Promised Messiah as raised his hands, along with the audience, and prayed to God Almighty with the utmost sincerity. ۤاَنَّبَر اَنَّنِا اَنْعِمَس اًيِداَنُم ْيِداَنُّي ِناَمْيِاْلِل ْنَا اْوُنِمٰا ْمُكِّبَرِب اَّنَمٰاَف١ۖۗ اَنَّبَر ْرِفْغاَف اَنَل اَنَبْوُنُذ َو ْرِّفَك اَّنَع اَنَّبَر َو اَنِتٰا اَم اَنَّتْدَعَو ىٰلَع َكِلُسُر َو اَل اَنِزْخُت َمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا١ؕ َكَّنِا اَل ُفِلْخُت ۤاَنَّبَر اَنَّنِا اَنْعِمَس اًيِداَنُم ْيِداَنُّي ِناَمْيِاْلِل ْنَا اْوُنِمٰا ْمُكِّبَرِب اَّنَمٰاَف١ۖۗ اَنَّبَر ْرِفْغاَف اَنَل اَنَبْوُنُذ َو ْرِّفَك اَّنَع اَنَّبَر َو اَنِتٰا اَم اَنَّتْدَعَو ىٰلَع َكِلُسُر َو اَل اَنِزْخُت َمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا١ؕ َكَّنِا اَل ُفِلْخُت اَنِتٰاِّيَس َو اَنَّفَوَت َعَم ِراَرْبَاْلا۰۰ۚ اَنِتٰاِّيَس َو اَنَّفَوَت َعَم ِراَرْبَاْلا۰۰ۚ 2 َداَعْيِمْلا۰۰ َداَعْيِمْلا۰۰ 3 1. From Badr: God who is the King of Kings and no one has any glory when compared with His Majesty and Glory–does He remain silent upon see- ing the insolence towards His Messenger? Of course not. Disrespect of the Appointee [of God] is, in fact, disrespect of God Almighty ( Badr, vol. 7, no. 1, p. 13, dated 9 January 1908). 2. Our Lord, we have heard a Crier calling us unto faith, ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us, therefore, our sins and remove from us our evils, and in death join us with the righteous. Our Lord, give us what You have promised to us through Your Messengers; and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You break not Your promise ( S u rah A l-e- ‘Imr a n, 3:194–195). 3.
