Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 8 م ہچ منک ش � خ ب� � یں تشم ِ اخک را رگ ہن � ا [What else can I do if I do not forgive this handful of dust!]’ Russo-Japanese War Upon mention of this war, Hadrat H ak e em Noor-ud-Deen ra said it is such a bloodthirsty war that thousands of people are being slaugh- tered, albeit the religions of both empires are of a nature that according to them, this war should have never begun at all. The religion of the Japanese is Buddhism and according to it, killing even an ant is a sin. Russia is Christian, 1 and according to the teaching of Christ, if Japan seizes one encampment [of theirs], they should hand them over a sec- ond encampment out of their own accord. Conversation with Some Christians Three Christians came to meet the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, today. One was a young man, the son of a prominent individual. Of the remaining, one was an elderly doctor, while the other was a young magistrate from Peshawar. One of them had corresponded with the Promised Messiah as in a very respectful manner sometime in the past regarding research into religions. Due to this, he had a great desire to see the Promised Messiah, peace be on him. Among many shrines, there is one well known, where—based on idolatrous beliefs—many go for pilgrimage, etc. A Christian gentle- man remarked about that shrine that what they do for the people of Jalandhar district, is to weaken the legs of a white dove and place it 1. At that time, the religion of Russia was Christianity. (Compiler)
