THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD وَإِنَّا إِذَا جُلْنَا فَإِنَّكَ مُدْبِرُ تَحَامَ قِتَالِي وَاجْتَنِبْ مَا صَنَعْتَهُ Refrain from being at war with me and shun your evil practices; When I enter the battleground, you are bound to flee. أَرَى الصَّالِحِيْنَ يُوَفَّقُوْنَ لِطَاعَتِيْ وَأَمَّا الْغَوِيُّ فَفِي الضَّلَالَةِ يُقْبَرُ I see that the righteous are granted the ability to act in obedi- ence to me; But, he who is eternally condemned will enter into the grave in ignorance. وَذَلِكَ خَتْمُ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَدْوِ فِطْرَةٍ وَإِنَّ نُقُوشَ اللَّهِ لَا تَتَغَيَّرُ God has put a seal on this since the beginning of time; And, imprints set by God cannot be changed. كَذَلِكَ نُورُ الرُّشْدِ مَا يُخْطِيءُ الْفَتَى وَكُلُّ نَخِيلٍ لَّا مَحَالَةَ تُثْمِرُ In the same way, guidance does not depart from the one whose nature is blessed with the light of guidance; And, every date palm eventually bears fruit. وَ لَوْ فِي شَبَابٍ أَوْ بِوَقْتٍ يُعَمَّرُ وَمَنْ يَكُ ذَا فَضْلٍ فَيُدْرِكْ مَقَامَهُ He who is accompanied by divine grace shall attain to the sta- tion destined for him- Whether he does so in his youth or at an old age. وَلَا يَهْلِكُ الْعَبْدُ السَّعِيدُ جِبِلَّةً إِذَا مَا عَمِي يَوْمًا بِآخَرَ يَنْظُرُ He who is good by nature will not perish; If he is blind today, he will be able to see tomorrow. 125
