PRAYERS 162 Foreword Our master the Holy Prophet sa declared the Promised Messiah as as the saviour of the troubled times and said, “No one would have the power to confront the materialistic forces of those times. Then God will reveal to the Promised Messiah as to lead His servants to the safe haven of mount Tu r. ” (Muslim Kit a bul Fitan Bab Dhikrud Dajj a l) As Hadrat M u s a as (Moses) has prayed for his people at the base of mount Tu r, today with the blessings of the Promised Messiah as , his party would succeed. The Promised Messiah as has said, “It is written about the Promised Messiah as that the non-believers will perish with his prayers, meaning that he will destroy all opposition with his supplications. God has endowed prayer with great powers. He has revealed to me again and again that whatever will happen would be accomplished through the prayers alone. ” (Malf uza t, Vol. 5, page 36) The saints of the previous ages have written about the meanings of the name Imam Mahdi. He will be guided to a great secret. This great secret is prayer, which would be taught to him in this materialistic age when the world would deny miracles and extraordinary signs.
