Undated 9 The Promised Messiah as said: A venerable person has written—I believe in good faith with some good intention, despite his statement being incorrect— that Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was not a perfect saint and as his nuzul [descent] was not complete, he only had su’ood [ascent], and that is why he showed many miracles. Had his nuzul been perfect, he would not have shown any miracle. The extent to which this statement contradicts the Holy Quran is quite obvious. This statement is totally against the Holy Quran and the Hadith. The truth is that Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was from among the perfect servants of God. If one were to criticize him for his miracles, then this criticism would extend to all Prophets. Such is the consequence of following the wrong phraseology of these Sufis , which is not affirmed by the Holy Quran and Hadith. Divine Wisdom in Revelations Being Lost from Memory The Promised Messiah as said: Hardly a night passes when I am not shown some vision con- cerning the future. Many of these matters slip from memory by the morning and I am unable to record them to prevent them from being forgotten. Therein lies the wisdom of God. He makes me remember what He desires to be remembered and makes me forget what He desires to be forgotten. 1 1. Badr, vol. 6, no. 47, p. 10, dated 21 November 1907
