The True Nature of the Mahdi — Page 64
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 64 in order to save us from the hands of the wrongdoers. It has safeguarded our honour, our persons, and our properties from the plunderers. So how can it not be afforded thanks when we live peacefully under this government, and at ease of mind, and when it deliv - ered us from many types of suffering, and its establish - ment became a source of honour and blessing for us. We achieved our highest hope for worldly safety and security. Thus, it is obligatory to obey it and pray for its firm establishment and security with pure intentions. It did not enslave us with the hand of terror, but won our hearts through grace and favours. So it is incum - bent upon us to thank it and appreciate its favours, and it is necessary to obey it and its representatives. O Allah reward this great Queen, and protect her country and honour, O Most Merciful among those who show mercy. Ameen. The Author Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian. February 21, 1899.
