Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 286 made Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, the Khalifah for this work and truth was instilled in his heart before all others. Hazrat Maulana Sayyed Muhammad Ahsan submitted that this same subject is indeed also mentioned in the revelation of the Promised Messiah as : َ َم ی ْ ْح َ ابْن َ مَر ی ِ اَلْحَمْد ُ هلل َ الَّذِی ۡ جَعَلَك َ الْمَس َ َم ی ْ ْح َ ابْن َ مَر ی ِ اَلْحَمْد ُ هلل َ الَّذِی ۡ جَعَلَك َ الْمَس [All praise belongs to the Allah who has made you Masih Ibn-e-Maryam (the Messiah, Son of Mary). ] Similarly, in Ayat Istikhlaf [Quranic verse about Khilafat ], Allah the Exalted has pointed to Himself, َّ لَیَسۡتَخۡلِفَن [‘He will surely make them Successors’] and َّ نَن ِّ ك لَیُمَ [‘He will surely establish’] and not the Messenger for this task. The Promised Messiah as said: In one of the revelations, Allah the Exalted has also named me Sheikh [Revered]: ٗ أَنْت َ الشَّیْخ ُ الْمَسِیْح ُ الَّذِی ْ لَیُضَاع ُ وَقْتُہ [‘You are the revered Messiah whose time shall not be wasted. ’] And in a different revelation, it is said: ُ ُضَاع ی َّ كَمِثْلِك َ دُر ٌّ ل [‘A jewel like you cannot be wasted. ’] These revelations provide clear proof of my success.
