The Shining Lamp — Page 58
58 This, therefore, was Allah’s own doing that in spite of every heart unwilling to do so, everyone was forced to accept that my paper was the best. But in the case of the second Sign, He planted a desire to kill in the murderer’s heart and thus by manifesting both Signs—one of which was fulfilled directly by Himself and the other indirectly through other means—He demonstrated His Signs to His creation and thereby in one instant completely destroyed the machination of the Christian priests, the Muslim clerics, and the Hindus. It was not possible for them to refrain from their mischief had God not manifested such transparently clear Signs. It is exactly to this that God directs our attention on page 506 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, 1 and states: ُ ِّنَۃ ي َـھُم ُ الْبَ ي ْن َ حَتّٰی تَـأْتِ ي ِّ ك َ ْن َ مُنْف ي ِتَاب ِ و َ الْمُشْـرِکِ ك ْ ْل ِ ال ه ْن َ کَفَرُوْا مِن ْ اَ ي ِ ُن ِ الَّذ ك َ ي ْ لَم ُ ِّنَۃ ي َـھُم ُ الْبَ ي ْن َ حَتّٰی تَـأْتِ ي ِّ ك َ ْن َ مُنْف ي ِتَاب ِ و َ الْمُشْـرِکِ ك ْ ْل ِ ال ه ْن َ کَفَرُوْا مِن ْ اَ ي ِ ُن ِ الَّذ ك َ ي ْ لَم ْـمًا. ي ُم ْ عَـظِـ ه ْدُ ي وَکَان َ کَ ْـمًا. ي ُم ْ عَـظِـ ه ْدُ ي وَکَان َ کَ Meaning: It was not possible that the Christians, the Muslim opponents, and the Hindus would desist from their denials until clear proof was shown to them. And Their stratagem was mighty. Then after this, on that very page, it is stated: ادنھ�ی� ر ڑپاجات. ی ی ا ںیم ن ات وت د� رك ا ہن ی ارگ دخا ا� ‘Had God not acted thus, iniquity would have overtaken the world. ’ 1.
