Undated 197 is very audacious and wants to make people heedless of God’s Signs and makes them fall asleep by repeatedly reassuring them. 1 Undated What the Promised Messiah as Said to Hadrat Ummul-Mu’min i n The conveying of the message continues at home, too, as usual. One day, addressing Hadrat Ummul-Mu’min i n [the Mother of the Believers; i. e. his wife ], the Promised Messiah as said: Look! Servants should not be treated strictly at all. Whatever needs to be explained to them should be done so gently, and also pray for them. If you rebuke them, do it by saying, ‘May God grant you guidance, grant you virtue, and grant you understanding. ’ Likewise, if you become upset with children over some naughtiness do not rebuke them either; pray for them and make them understand [their mistake] through sim- ilar prayerful words. The days of God’s wrath are here; He is in need of no one. To the extent possible, show mercy to God’s creation so that Allah Almighty might also show you mercy. 2 1.
