HAZRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD (AS) of Jesus the Messiah, who were destroyed by the plague. Our Lord! Protect us from becoming like those people who were not guided by You and were thus led astray in the manner of the Christians. ' Hence, this prayer contains an underlying prophecy that there would be some from among the Muslims who will become heirs of the past Prophets on account of their truth and sincerity, and will be bestowed with the blessings of prophethood and messengership. And also that others would become like the Jews and punishment would descend upon them in the present life; while others still would cloak themselves in the garb of the Christians. The unchangeable custom discernible in God's Word is that when a certain people are forbidden from committing a certain act, as per the knowledge of God, some from: among them will commit it, whereas others will choose righteousness and virtue. Since the remotest ages, it has been the eternal practice of God that whenever He reveals a book in which He forbids a nation against an evil act or urges towards a good act, He knows for certain that some people will obey while others will not. And so, the chapter under discussion prophesied that someone from among this Ummah will appear in the perfect manner of Prophets so that the prophecy derived from the verse. may be perfectly and comprehensively fulfilled صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ 1 Surah Al-Faatihah, 1:7 [Publisher] 74
