105 Trust in God Almighty In the evening, the Promised Messiah as said: “I have such firm trust in God that I do not even pray for myself because God is well aware of my state. When the disbelievers were casting Abraham as into the fire, the angels came to Abraham as and asked him whether he needed anything. Abraham as responded by saying: َ ل ْ بَلٰی وَلٰکِن ْ اِلَیْکُم Meaning, Yes; but though I am in need, there is no need to present it before you. The angels responded: ‘Alright, then supplicate before God Almighty. ’ To this, Abraham as said: ْ عِلْمُہ ٗ مِن ْ حَالِی ْ حَسْبِی ْ مِن ْ سَوَالِی In other words, He is so well aware of my state that there is no need for me to submit a request to Him. ” 14 February 1901 Trials Whilst mentioning that believers are subjected to trial and hardship, the Promised Messiah as said: “An individual came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and bless- ings of Allah be upon him, and made a marriage proposal to the Holy Prophet sa for his daughter. Along with the many other qualities that he presented to him in respect of his daughter, one was that she had reached such and such age, but had never suffered from any illness. The Holy Prophet , peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Those who are the beloved of God are invariably subjected to trial and suffering. ’” One of the members of the community who had suffered immense grief at the hands of his adversaries, related his troubles. The Promised Messiah as said: “You have suffered many hardships. This is a compliment to you. The more one is faced with trials, the more one shall be blessed. 1 اِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا Surely, there is ease after hardship. 1 al-Inshirah, 94:7 p. 92
