Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 64 The Promised Messiah as — My miracles are all the miracles of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Nothing is mine. All this is entirely the labour of the Holy Prophet. Religion was on the decline—I made an effort. If I am from God, God will help me. Otherwise, this Movement will be destroyed on its own. Purpose of the Advent of the Promised Messiah I have two tasks. First, to remove the mistakes that have crept into the beliefs contrary to the Holy Scriptures. Secondly, to set right the practical condition of the people so they attain right- eousness and purity like the Companions. Student— Has anyone before ever claimed ‘I am a Prophet in Islam’? The Promised Messiah as — How could anyone have made a claim before? They were not appointed to make such a claim, while I am appointed. Student— Why should your opponent be called a k a fir [disbeliever]? The Promised Messiah as — Kufr means to reject. When these people do not accept one appointed by Allah and abuse and deny, then the matter does not stop there. Rather, a door opens, and the tongue is set loose, and gradually, one is deprived of the ability to do good deeds. 1 1. Badr, vol. 1, no. 33, p. 2–4, dated 6 November 1905
