96 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad people are able to induce rainfall—as some are engaged in such efforts in Amer- ica and other places-this would bring about the end of an Islamic injunction. Hence, to what extent should I go on? Islam is being attacked on all fronts and efforts are being undertaken to dishonour it—indeed, unrelenting efforts. But what harm can the schemes and contrivances of these people inflict? God desires to preserve Islam from these machinations Himself and in this era of advance- ment, He has not left Islam without support.

This movement is so clearly recognisable that if a person listens to my teachings for even two hours with a willing heart, they would find the truth. The Moral Miracles of the Holy Prophetsa Now it is my desire to say a few more words and then conclude this address. I briefly return, for some time, to my discourse in the way of miracles. The first of miracles are those of an academic nature, such as the splitting of the category
