Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 154 me, will establish another community that is better than them, which will have faith and sincerity as Allah the Exalted, whilst addressing me, says: مَآءِ. َ ْحِی ْ اِلَیْـھِم ْ مِّن َ الس َو ُّ ْصُـرُك َ رِجَال ٌ ن ْن َ ْدِہٖ. ی ْن ِ ُ مِن ْ ع ِہللا َ ْصُـرُك ْن َ ی مَآءِ. َ ْحِی ْ اِلَیْـھِم ْ مِّن َ الس َو ُّ ْصُـرُك َ رِجَال ٌ ن ْن َ ْدِہٖ. ی ْن ِ ُ مِن ْ ع ِہللا َ ْصُـرُك ْن َ ی Meaning that, ‘God will support you from Himself. Those whose hearts We will inspire and send wa hi [revelation] to, will assist you. ’ After this [assurance], therefore, I do not consider such people in whose hearts evil presumptions arise to be so much as even a dead insect. And what reason is there for mis- givings to arise when I do not compel donations from such hol- low-hearted people whose faith is yet deficient? Donations can be sent to me by those who genuinely hold me to be Khal i fatull a h [the Vicegerent of Allah] with sincerity of heart, and have faith in all my works, whether they under- stand them or not. Such people believe that to object to my works is to waste away their faith. I am no businessman that keeps an account of all expenses; I am no treasurer of a com- mittee that needs to present accounts to anyone. I emphatically proclaim that it is forbidden for anyone that harbours even the slightest criticism in their heart regarding me or my expenses, to send a single penny. I am not concerned about anyone. When God so often tells me as if He is saying it every day that ‘Verily, I am sending what- ever comes’ and He never objects to my expenses, then who else has a right to raise an objection against me? Such objections were made against the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at the time when he distributed the spoils of war. Therefore, I again write to you to tell everyone that from this point on they are under the oath of the God who created them, as well as every single individual who shares in this notion
