NU S R AT U L- H AQ Q — HE L P OF G OD 94 who will migrate from their homes to dwell in your quarters. These are the very ones who are called A sha bu s - S uffah 1 in the estimation of Allah. And do you know how faithful and glo- rious a people they will be—those who are called by the name A sha bu s - S uffah? They will be exceedingly strong in faith. You will see their eyes shedding tears; they will call down blessings upon you. They will supplicate: ‘O our Lord! We have heard the cry of a Caller, calling people to faith. So we have believed. ’ Write down all these prophecies, for they will be fulfilled at the appointed time. The prophecies in these few lines comprise so many Signs that they would exceed one million. And the Signs themselves are so manifest that they constitute extraordinary miracles of the first order. In order to elucidate the matter, I will first state the types of prophecies, and then I will provide evidence that these prophecies have been fulfilled. They are indeed extraordinarily supernormal Signs. And even if they were to be counted very strictly and carefully, the Signs that have been manifested would still exceed one million. Among the different types of prophecies: 1. The first is the prophecy that is indicated in the revelation وَانْتَھٰی اَمْر ُ الزَّمَان ِ اِلَیْنَا in which God Almighty says that: We will wage war against the opponents. The opponents will desire that this dis- pensation should fail, and that people should neither be drawn to it nor accept it, but We desire that people should turn towards it. 1. In one corner of the Prophet’s mosque in Mad i nah, a covered platform was prepared which was known as ‘ S uffah’. This served as the resting place of indi- gent Emigrants who dedicated themselves to the worship of Allah, the com- pany of the Holy Prophet s as , and recitation of the Holy Quran. They became known as A sha bu s - S uffah. [Publisher]
