Status of the Promised Messiahas 85 for the Hindūs I am Krishnā and for Muslims and. Christians I am the Promised Messiah. [Lecture Sialkot, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 20, p. 228] قد انبانی ربّی انني كسفينة نوح للخلق فمن اتانى و دخل في البيعة فقد نجا من الضيعة 53 [Ā'ina-e-Kamālāt-e-Islam, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 5, p. 486] و إنّي انا الخضر في بعض صفاتي لا تحاط اسراری * [Diary of Revelations, p. 39]. God, the All-Wise and All-Knowing, has divided the world into different and recurring periods, so ordained that some people resemble others; the good resemble the good and the bad resemble the bad, though this might remain hidden to some degree and. I may not be too obvious. But God has appointed for the latter days a resemblance to former times so that the Muslims should not lag behind other peoples in any respect. Thus he created me and made me resemble every past Prophet, so much so that I was named after all of them. . In Brāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyyah, I have been given all these names: Adamas, Abrahamas, Noahas, Moses as, Davidas, Solomonas, Josephas, Johnas, ‘Īsāªs, etc. In this manner, all past Prophets as have, as it were, been raised again among the Muslims, and the Messiah 53. My Lord has informed me that I am like the Ark of Noah for the people. He who comes to me and enters into the covenant with me will be delivered from ruin. [Publisher] 54. I am Khiḍar in some of my qualities; my mysteries cannot be comprehended. [Publisher]
