The Reality of Khilafah — Page 186
SIRRUL-KHILAFAH— 186 falls into the pit of deprivation and wastes his treasure of knowl- edge and insight. One of the characteristics of our religion is that it combines reason with revelation, and understanding with authen- ticity, and does not leave us to slumber in ignorance. We ask Allah to grant us the true understanding of faith, to make wisdom our dwelling place, to bestow upon us a vision of Paradise with the vision of our hearts, to let us move forward with obedience, to enable us to dedicate ourselves to pleasing the Gracious Lord, to make the Divine threshold our abode, forgetting any other home, and to spend our mornings and evenings in the pleasure of Allah who is our Protector. May we hasten to that which is more appro- priate. May we walk the path of knowledge and hasten to the ways of God’s love. May we take shelter in His strong fortresses and abodes which are protected from the attacks of devils by the armour of the example of the Unlettered Prophet, Kh a tamun- Nabiyy i n [the Seal of the Prophets]. O Allah, bless and prosper him to the Day of Judgement. Our last prayer is that glorified be the name of Allah, the Lord of all the worlds! Scribed by His most unworthy humble servant of Allah, the One, Ghul a m Muhammad of Amritsar, one of the disciples of His Holiness, The Promised Messiah and the Most Eminent Mahdi. May God perpetuate his blessings. This was completed on July 14, 1894, on a Saturday
