Hadrat Maulw i Nur-ud-D i n ra — Khalifatul Masih I CLOSING SCENE 299 Guide us along the straight path (1:6). We do not know what might transpire tomorrow or the day after. It is all hidden in the womb of the future and unless we are guided and helped by the Knower of the unseen we run the risk of ruin. Therefore, supplicate, plead for forgiveness and being shielded against error, seek guidance and call down blessings on the Holy Prophet sa. Make agonised pleas: Lord, help us to pass this test by Thy grace. Thy Messiah as came and many denied him and stumbled and fell on that stone and ruined themselves; but Thou didst guide us of Thy mercy. On his death we faced a trial and again Thou didst guide us. Now we face a trial once more. Do Thou bestow Thy grace upon us again and guide us, and send down Thy blessings on all our affairs, and let not our enemies rejoice over our discomfiture, and select a holy one from among us for Thy service. Amen. Let everyone occupy himself with supplication all the time. Get up during the night and supplicate. God resolves all difficulties through His grace. Put your trust in God. All His promises are true. The promises He made to the Promised Messiah as have been fulfilled and continue to be fulfilled. A human being may make a false promise, but God’s promises are true and He is faithful to His promises. Have faith in His promises and have trust in Him and depend upon Him. I shall now pray and you should join me in my supplications and thereafter continue your prayers. "
