THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD فَسَلْ قَلْبَهُ زَادَ الصَّفَا أَوْ تَكَدَّرُ وَإِنَّ حَيَاةَ الْغَافِلِينَ لَذِلَّةٌ To live a life of remissness is a cause of shame for man; Ask him if his heart has now become purer as compared to the past, or is it still occupied by worldly abominations. إِذَا نَحْنُ بَارَزْنَا فَأَيْنَ حُسَيْنُكُمْ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْمَدُهُ فَأَعْلِنُ وَأَخْبِرُ Where will your [champion] Husain be when I will come out to confront him? If you praise him so highly, let him know of this. أَتَحْسَبُهُ حَيًّا وَتَاللَّهِ إِنَّنِي أَرَاهُ كَمَنْ يُدْفَى وَيُفْنَى وَيُقْبَرُ Do you think he is living? By God, I see him as someone already perished, dead, and in the grave. وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبِّي كَانَ مِمَّنْ يُبَصَّرُ وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبِّي كَانَ يَبْغِي هِدَايَتِي If my Lord had so desired, Muhammad Husain would have accepted the truth; And if God my Lord had so willed, he would have recognized me. وَمَا إِنْ قَنَطْنَا وَالرَّجَاءُ مُعَظَّمُ كَذَلِكَ وَحْيُ اللَّهِ يُدْرِي وَيُخْبِرُ I have still not lost hope about him becoming a believer; Rather, hopes are high as this is what revelation from Allah means to convey. 91
