Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 196 Hakam [Arbiter] and Adl [ Judge]; therefore, I most humbly request that a verdict be issued as may be appropriate, so I could act accordingly. In reply to this, the Promised Messiah as said: The form in which the life insurance is being practiced and what is known about it—I do not see any apparent justifica- tion for it because it is a [form of ] gambling. Although he has spent a substantial sum of money—yet, should he continue, this money would make him commit even more sin. In order to save himself from further sin in his life he should surrender it and take whatever proceeds he can get at this time. Acceptance of Prayers A person wrote to the Promised Messiah as that he should make such prayer for him that would definitely be accepted and that it should be about such and such a matter. The Promised Messiah as said: Send him the reply that it is not the practice of God Almighty that He should accept every single prayer. This has never ever happened since this world came into being. Of course, the prayers of the Elect of God are accepted much more in compar- ison to others. No one can force his way when it comes to God. 1 1. Badr, vol. 7, no. 14, p. 3, dated 9 April 1908
