112 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD وَكُنْتُ أَرَى الْإِسْلَامَ مِثْلَ حَدِيقَةٍ مُبَعَّدَةٍ مِّنْ عَيْنِ مَاءٍ يُنَفِّرُ I considered Islam to be a garden, Lying too far from the spring that could have watered it and caused it to flourish. فَمَا زِلْتُ أَسْقِيْهَا وَأَسْقِي بِلَادَهَا مِنَ الْمُزْنِ حَتَّى عَادَ حِبْرٌ مُّدَعْتَرُ So I kept watering this garden. with rains of heavenly water, Indeed I watered its lands So much so that its departed glory was restored to it. وَجَاشَتْ إِلَيَّ النَّفْسُ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْعِدَا فَأَنْزَلَ رَبِّي حَرْبَةً لَّا تُكَسَّرُ And, my heart began to free itself from the disorder created by the enemies; God my Lord then sent down to me an indestructible weapon. لِأُفْحِمَ قَوْمًا جَابِرِينَ وَأُنْذِرُ فَأَصْبَحْتُ أَسْتَقْرِي الرِّجَالَ رِجَالَهُمْ I therefore waited for the day to break and began to look for such people, So that I may establish my argument against the wrongdoers. وَقَدْ كَانَ بَابُ اللَّهُ مَرْكَزَ حَرْبِهِمْ كَلَامُ مُضِلَّ لَّا حُسَامٌ مُشَهَّرُ And, their war tactics were confined to verbal rhetoric, that is, They talked in a manner that misled people, and the sword was not being used for propagation of faith.
