107 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD AS no longer hidden; hence there is no need to recount their sins. They have divided themselves into various factions in our age, with each of them trying to outdo the other in debauchery and crime. You will find some to be infatuated with women and wine, others with not understand regarding his affairs, we interpret them positively — acts are but by intentions, and the rewards of deeds depend on intentions. We see that he had performed many good deeds, and he is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and God enlightened his eyes with the blessing of these two places. The protectors of religion have many functions in the departments of his state, this is the reason for his greatness and honour. However, we have seen and witnessed that some staff of his state are traitors of which there is no doubt, and all the calamities which afflicted him, were caused mainly by these parties. Thus, I do not cast any blame at the Sultan, and I do not mention him except with praise and commendation, I pray that Allah gives him more knowledge of the Sultanate’s minutes, removes the negligence of his staff and infuses them with the spirit of vigilance and sturdiness, and gives him determination and zeal that befits this position which is the shadow of God. It was the practice of Allah that His wrath is brought down on the heedless as well as the criminals, and they will be made to drink from one cup by the Lord of the worlds. I do not want to talk more than this about this Sultan, I have heard news about some of the staff of his country, but I hide them under the seal of secrecy. (Author)
