Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 16 heart becomes sincere [to God] then the world is of no value. It prepares itself to serve. But the desire to attain the world through invocations is a form of idolatry, and a seeker [of truth] needs to strictly abstain from it. If one attains God, then the world has no value. The people who run after the world, it flees from them, and those who abandon the world, the world fol- lows them all on its own. 1 24 December 1906 Dominance of Truth Many members had gathered before Z uhr Prayer who presented themselves before The Promised Messiah as at the Mubarak Mosque. The topic under discussion at the time was that people of other faiths cannot compete with the Ahmadiyya Community. The Promised Messiah as said: Just as our adversaries, who are ordinary Muslims, have aban- doned the truth in opposing us and therefore cannot compete in this contest, the same is the condition of people of other reli- gions. If they mention something against us in a gathering, they inherently embarrass themselves by getting their own inter- nal issues exposed. Thus, our Muslim adversaries are helpless against us as well as the people of other faiths. 1. Badr, vol. 2, no. 50, p. 3, dated 13 December 1906
