KHILAFAT-E-R A SHIDAH 249 assignment the Ahrar took in their hands they succeeded in, but now it is their condition that whatever assignment they take in their hands, they fail in it. Similarly take the crisis of apostasy in Malkana, or the agitation on Rang i l a Ras u l , or many other political disturbances which arose in the meanwhile, you see that God helped me in every crisis, supported me in every trial, and transformed every fear into security for me. I never thought that Allah, the Almighty would get a great job done by me. I cannot hide this reality that God favoured me beyond my imagination. In the beginning of my Khilafat I did not know whether I would be able to do any service of religion. External circumstances were against me. There was no capability of doing some job. I was not a scholar nor learned nor had I wealth nor party, so God is my witness that when Khilafat was handed over to me, I at that time only considered that the flow of the stream of Divine recognition has been disturbed, and there is a danger of its wastage. Therefore, I was raised to put my lifeless body at that place to stop the flow of water from wastage. I poured my heart and soul for the protection of religion, and considered it the completion of my work. But three days had not yet passed on my Khilafat that the manifestations of Allah, the Almighty started descending like a rain.
