6 May 1905 205 that there will be no earthquake. This will further enhance the greatness of God Almighty’s revelation. Had they also opined the earthquake would occur, my statement would have become obscured and considered weak. Nevertheless, these people have already declared now that no earthquake will come. The Promised Messiah as said: If now God Almighty remains silent, no religion except atheism will remain. If there is no need to manifest His countenance at this time, when will this need arise? The same prayer has arisen from my heart today that the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prayed at Badr, ‘O Allah, if you destroy this group today, then you will never be worshipped again. ’ So, know for certain, that if God Almighty were not to help now, all would perish. It is indeed true that if there is no help from Allah the Exalted, faith is lost. If a child does not get milk, how long will he survive? He will eventually die in great agony. In the same way, if the help from Allah the Exalted is cut off, man will eventually die spiritually as he is weak and feeble, as it is said in the Quran: 1 َقِلُخ ُناَسْنِاْلا اًفْيِعَض َقِلُخ ُناَسْنِاْلا اًفْيِعَض Referring to this, Allah the Exalted has said in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya: � ر ڑپ اجات. ی ادنھ� ی ی ا ںیم ن ات وت د� رك ا ہن ی ارگ دخا ا� Had God not done this, the world would have been enveloped in darkness. 1. Man has been created weak ( S u rah an-Nis a ’, 4:29). [Publisher]
