The Purpose of the Promised Messiah's Advent انَ اللهَ وَمَلَيكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَايُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا 81 صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا " 133 [Tiryāq-ul-Qulub, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 15, pp. 137-139]. For this reason alone, this humble one has been commissioned to establish this Community. I would like to greatly expand the circle of those who join my company, and enable such people who are desirous of fostering their faith, love and certainty, to stay in my company day and night. May they be shown the light and the blessings that have been shown to me. May they partake of the zeal that has been granted to this humble one, that the light of Islam may spread in the entire world, and the black mark of hatred and disgrace may be washed away from the face of Muslims. . With that glad tiding, God sent me and said: 82 بخرام که وقت تو نزد یک رسید ۔ و پائے محمد یاں برمنار بلند تر محکم افتاد۔ * [Fat-ḥe-Islām, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 3, pp. 22-23]. God wills that of all the souls that inhabit the different parts of the world—whether in Europe or Asia-those who possess pure natures should be drawn towards. Unity, and His creatures may be united on one faith. . This is the aim of God, with which I have been raised. . So follow this aim but with tenderness, good manners 81 Allāh and His angels send blessings on the Prophetsa. O ye who believe! you also should invoke blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace. -Al-Aḥzāb, 33:57 [Publisher] 82 Step forth for thy time has drawn near and the feet of the Muslims have been planted on a high tower.
