884 Allah would not leave you till He has clearly demonstrated the difference between the foul and the pure. When the help of Allah arrives and the victory and the promise of God is fulfilled, it will be said: This is what you desired to be hastened. I determined to appoint a vicegerent and therefore I created this A dam [Adam]. He approached God and then turned towards people and between the two he became like one chord between two bows. He will revive the faith and will establish the law. O Adam, dwell you and your companions in the garden. O Maryam [Mary], dwell you and your companions in the garden. O Ahmad, dwell you and your companions in the garden. You will be helped and the opponents will exclaim: ‘No way of escape is left. ’ Those who have disbelieved and obstructed people from the way of Allah have been refuted by a man of Persian said about me: [Arabic] Salm a n, that is, my humble self, who lays the foundation of two types of peace is one of us, a member of the family. This divine revelation confirms a well known fact that some of my grandmothers were Sayyeds. Two types of peace indicates that God has ordained that one peace will be brought about through me between the various sects of Islam, thus eliminating many of the differences that divide them, and a second peace will be brought about through me between Islam and its external enemies, many of whom will be given an understanding of the truth of Islam and will identify themselves with it. Then the end will come. [ H aq iq atu l -Wa hi , p. 78 subfootnote, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 81 sub-footnote]
