57 For the consideration of the Fair-Minded How true it is that when a seal is set upon the heart the eyes and all other senses also cease to function. Man becomes blind though he sees, deaf though he hears, unheeding though he understands, and truth never issues from his tongue. See how our Maulaw i s , whose eyes are veiled, sank into ignorance due to their prejudice, though they were considered wise. Like the enemies of faith, they took recourse to lies and slander. One such wrote of me that I had given tiding of a son, citing Divine revelation, who would be a marvel, but that he died when he was just a few months old. I am amazed why these impatient Maulaw i s do not remember the verse 37 when uttering such words, and why they have suddenly started exposing their inner disease and enmity for Islam. If they have any shame, they should now prove as to which one of my revelations states that the child who died was indeed the promised one? The Divine revelation only bears the brief tiding that such a son will be born. God’s holy revelation did not pinpoint a particular son as the object of the tiding. In fact, my announcement of February 1886 contains the revelation that some of my sons will also die at an early age. Now, did the 37 May the curse of Allah be on those who lie.
