Malfuzat - Volume VIII — Page 67
27 October 1905 67 writing Bar a h i n [ -e-Ahmadiyya ], I received the revelation stat- ing that people will come to you upon every distant track. At that time, not even a single person was with me. Moreover, this is that book that every sect of Christians, Hindus, Brahmu, and Aryas possesses, and all opponents have it. Maulaw i Muhammad H usain wrote a great review on it. No one can say that I fabricated these prophecies or that they were written at a time when people used to come and go. These revelations were published at such a time, and they were published in many languages: Arabic, Persian, Urdu, English, and Hebrew. This happened so that every language may bear witness and for the aggrandizement of this book. Moreover, therein also appears to lie this hidden verity that people of every tongue shall be witnesses and enter into this Community. If a mortal can fabricate these accounts in the world through his own ability, where is its precedent? If this could happen and man could do it, then all the prophecies and excellences of the Prophets would be put in doubt. However, the point is that tri- als must necessarily come. At the time of every Prophet, there were trials, and even now, the same practice of Allah contin- ues. Mujaddid Sahib [Mujaddid Alf Thani] has also written in a letter that when the Messiah comes, the scholars will oppose and deny him. Counselling the Jam a ‘at to Exhibit Patience The Promised Messiah as said: Patience is a great treasure. A person who is patient and does not speak while consumed by anger, his speech is not his own, but rather it is God that makes him speak.
