So Said The Promised Messiah (as) — Page 164
He has promised. Although God has promised to me, through the prophecies, very great things, but you should not begin to boast for nothing. You should shun jealousies, acrimony, back biting, pride, haughtiness, evil deeds-hidden and open -slackness and negligence and you should remember that the good end is always destined for the Muttaqi people, as God says. Wal-aakhirato inda Rabbika lil Muttaqin You should think ofbecomingMuttaqi. (Malfoozat Vol. III, p. 282) THROUGH THE HOLY PROPHET Sallallaho alaihi wa sallam I swear by God that my real and true desire is that I should attribute all the good qualities to the Holy Prophet Mohammad, sallallaho alaihi wa sallarn; therein lies my greatest joy. The aim of my advent is that the Oneness of God and the honour of the Holy Prophet, sallallaho alaihi wa sallarn, be established in the world. I know it for certain that all the good and excellent words that God has used for- me, they are really ascribable to the Holy Prophet (i. e. they are really meant for him, and it is on his behalf, that this honour has been granted to me), for I am only a servant of his and it is from his Prophethood that I have received all the light that I have; there is nothing that personally belongs to me. Tha. t is why I believe that if anyone were to claim that he has been commissioned by God (for reformation) without receiv- ing any blessings of the Holy Prophet or as an independent person, he would be an accursed person and a mean one. God has destined that nobody should have communion with Hirn without being completely obedient to the Holy Prophet, sallallaho alaihi wa sallarn. (Malfoozat Vol. III, p. 287) 164
