11 April 1907 235 regretful that these people do not ponder and reflect even a little. How well does that verse of the Holy Quran apply here that: 1 ُصَّبَرَتَي ُمُكِب َرِٕىٓاَوَّدلاْمِهْيَلَع ُةَرِٕىٓاَد ِءْوَّسلا ُصَّبَرَتَي ُمُكِب َرِٕىٓاَوَّدلاْمِهْيَلَع ُةَرِٕىٓاَد ِءْوَّسلا (They wait for calamities to befall you, but evil only visits them. ) The End of the Opponents of God’s Appointee Whoever contends with an Appointee of God, his prayers and curses do indeed recoil upon him, just like everyone has wit- nessed. These Aryas that have died is because God Almighty did not wish that anyone should forge a lie against me in the centre where His manifestations are taking place. It is indeed an act of great treachery to see a Sign with one’s own eyes and then not only deny it, but also mislead others. This was a terri- bly evil act that they took upon themselves. As an innately evil thief cannot remain standing in the light, similarly no innately malicious and perfidious person can stay for long at a place that is the centre of Divine manifestations and splendour. That is why it is stated in the Holy Quran: 2 اَل َكَنْوُرِواَجُي ۤاَهْيِف اَّلِا اًلْيِلَق اَل َكَنْوُرِواَجُي ۤاَهْيِف اَّلِا اًلْيِلَق (They will not dwell in your neighbourhood but for a few days. ) 1.
