The Promised Messiah and Mahdi — Page 231
THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI along with other NATO forces. In making this decision. President. Clinton has shown courage and leadership. Many Americans, a majority by some estimates, are against this involvement in Bosnia because they think that American vital interests are not at stake in. Bosnia. To stop fighting, horrible killings and genocide, for humanitarian and moral reasons alone, must be regarded as of vital interest by the International Community. . Many Muslims are misguided and think that they can regain their lost power and glory by being ultra-nationalists and by using force and violence. This view is contrary to the Holy Prophet's message of love, peace, and brotherhood. He has been called the "Mercy for Mankind". He never fought any war except in selfdefence and only when the enemy had come forth to completely annihilate the early Islam. . The Promised Messiah, writing 100 years ago has described the pitiful condition of Muslims at that time and their helplessness when faced with Dajjal and the mighty power of Gog and Magog, surging high all over the world. He said that this happened because the Muslims in the latter centuries ignored the teachings of Islam and. Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet. Many of them had become like the Jews at the time of Jesus, fighting over the literal words and ignoring the spirit. As a result, the Muslims were punished and subjected to the power of Dajjal and Gog and Magog (European. Christian Nations). He said that Islam had become like an old woman who had lost all charm and beauty. The moon of Islam had become like an old dry twig. When things reached to this extreme, the Lord had pity over them and as promised by the Holy Prophet, He sent their Messiah. With his advent, with his prayers and supplications,. God-given knowledge and arguments, and heavenly signs in his support, the Promised Messiah, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, will succeed in delivering the Muslim world from this great danger. The cross will be broken as this was one of his missions. With the prayers of the Promised Messiah and frightful heavenly signs, Dajjal will simply melt away and the power of Gog and Magog will be shattered. 231
