814 Translation: (1) [Arabic] Allah has decreed since eternity that He and His Messengers shall prevail. (2) [Arabic] God, the Merciful, says that there is peace, meaning that ‘you will not die in disappointment or defeat. ’ (3) [Urdu] I shall die in Mecca or in Medina. This sentence ‘I shall die in Mecca or in Medina’ means that before my death I shall be bestowed a victory like that of Mecca. That is to say as the Holy Prophet sa had vanquished his enemies through the manifestation of the majestic Signs of Allah, so will it happen now. The second meaning is that before my death, I shall be bestowed a victory like that of Medina which means that people’s hearts will of their own be inclined towards me. The phrase: [Allah has decreed, I and My Messengers shall prevail]points to a victory like that of Mecca and the phrase: [Peace is the word from the Merciful Lord] points to a victory like that of Medina.
