Life of the Promised Messiah — Page 5
5 Hazrat Maulvi Abdul-Karim falsehood in the most awe-inspiring manner. It was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who manifested this book by acting upon it. Even if someone were unaware of the life history of the Holy Prophet sa , whenever they act upon the Quran it becomes evident how great a task was assigned to the Prophet of Islam. Then, from this, one can judge just how comfortable and indolent the life of the Holy Prophet sa could have possibly been. Now, for the sake of God Almighty, reflect and see who at present is walk- ing precisely on the footsteps of the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Who has clinched the argument in favour of the truth of Islam against the Christians, the Arya Samaj, the Sikhs, the Jainists, the Jews, the Brahmo Samaj and atheists? Who has revived through his own example the reli- gion of Islam, the Quran, the Messenger, and miracles and wonders? In whom do we see an example of the moral qualities and deeds of Prophet Muhammad sa , the Messenger of God? Therefore, in these few pages, by the will of Allah, I have manifestly shown who, in today’s day and age, is worthy of occupying the seat of God’s vicegerent on earth. May Allah accept my humble effort. Abdul-Karim 26 June 1900 Qadian
