532 Then addressing me, You said: “you are to me like My Unity and Uniqueness. ” You said to me that “I have selected you to invite the people and to tell them that you have been sent on behalf of all of them and you are the first believer. ” And You said to me that, “I have sent you to exhibit the beauties of Islam to all nations, and to tell them that no religion in the religions of the world can match Islam in its blessings, wisdom, excellence of teachings, support of God Almighty and the miraculous Signs of God Almighty. ” And it is You Who informed me that, “You are respectable in My Court, and I have picked you for Myself. ” However, O my Omnipotent Lord! You know that most of the people have not accepted me and have called me an impostor, and they have called me an infidel, a great liar and ‘Dajjal’. I have been reviled, and subjected to all sorts of torment. They have said regarding me that I am a user of ill-gotten wealth of the corrupt, a promise breaker, a usurper of rights, a mischief-maker and a murderer. Those who are Muslims and consider themselves wise and pious have stated all this about me. They are inclined towards believing that whatever they say regarding me, in fact, is true. They have seen hundreds of heavenly signs granted to me by You, but they did not accept me. They look at my Community with extreme contempt. Every one of them who abuses me thinks that he is doing a virtuous deed for which he will acquire a great reward. O my Master, God Almighty!
