Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 74 That is: ‘I will keep your true followers dominant over others till the Day of Judgement. ’ Therefore, Satan is battling with full force in these Latter Days, but the final victory will indeed be ours. You know it well and it is common knowledge for you that Jesus has died, and in this subject, you have achieved the victory in every way. 1 Satan has Yet to Die But the death of Satan is still pending because I see it still has a considerable hold on you. Many people will be going back after doing the Bai’at [Pledge of Allegiance] here, but will write a letter of renunciation after reaching their homes. And the rea- son is that they meet some maulawi who causes them to slip by telling them all kinds of stories and fabricating various false allegations against me. Since such people still have a good por- tion of Satan in them, they readily fall into the trap of people with a satanic character. Since I have expounded my claim at length in the book Haqiqatul-Wahi [ The Philosophy of Divine Revelation ], and you have already read it too, it will prolong the speech if I say some- thing pertaining to it here. However, you need to comprehend the concept of the death of Satan at this time. You have already succeeded in putting an end to the widely held belief in the illu- sory life of Jesus, but Satan still needs to be killed. Beware! It won’t die by simply saying that Satan has died with your tongue. You must demonstrate through your deeds that Satan has died. The death of Satan should be evident in your deeds, not in your words. 1. From Badr: My presence is for two objectives. One is to kill a Prophet and the other is to kill Satan ( Badr, vol. 7, no. 1, p. 9, dated 9 January 1908).
