The Afghan Martyrs — Page 14

the Almighty the Promised Messiah (PBUH) always felt deeply for his bitterest enemies. When we mention the gruesome events spread over a hundred years we do so without a trace of vanity. We do indeed have sympathy for the Afghans who have been at the receiving end of misery for so long. To safeguard their souls I strongly advise members of the Jamaat to make sure that when they witness signs of Divine wrath they must never rejoice. Instead they should prostrate, thank the Almighty and seek His forgiveness. They should pray that there may not be any unfortunate ones from amongst their own progeny who may come into conflict with godly people and be responsible for shedding their blood or harming them in any other way. Surely the Almighty has a unique compassion for His innocent servants. He possesses an extraordinary (ghairat) sense of honour and therefore He awards lasting punishment to those who create disorder. We should pray: !IF ollowing the revelation to the Promised Messiah (PB UH) 'Maula Bus' (enough our Master, enough) Dh our God transform the situation for this nation as they have suffered enough. Amongst them were born Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Lateef (MAPH) and Hadhrat Moulvi Abdur Rahman (MAPH). Even after them, from this very nation many martyrs have had their blood shed in Your name and in the name of Islam. For the sake of the compatriots of the martyrs do please turn Your attention away from the earlier perspective and let the Afghans receive benefits arising from the sacrifices. Please D God, do mutate the destiny of the Afghans so that in future they may not be amongst those who perpetrate enormities but amongst those who with devotion and steadfastness volunteer to sacrifice their own lives in Your way. And after reformation may Your blessings descend on them. " 14
