Reply to a Mockery — Page 37
Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 37 … I am the mirror which reflects the Divine. Anyone who accepts me and comes to me will see the Almighty in a new light, which others narrate to you as in a story. ( Nuz u lul-Mas ih , Ru ha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 18, p. 462–463) Hadrat Mirza Sahib was granted, through the grace of the Holy Prophet s as , outstanding signs of divine succour. The grace and glory really belongs to the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as and he is the real mirror of divine glory. With the grand manifestation of God upon him, the truth about the following verse was manifested: َو اَم َتْيَمَر ْذِا َتْيَمَر َو َّنِكٰل َهّٰللا ىٰمَر And you did not throw when you did throw, but it was Allah who threw. ( S u rah al-Anf a l , 8:18) Similarly, when the brave companions of the Prophet Muhammad s as took the oath of death at his hand, Allah the Almighty says it was His hand at which they were taking the oath. So Allah’s purest reflection was given to the world in the person of the Holy Prophet s as. The same subject is alluded to in Hadrat Mirza Sahib’s Persian poetry: تس دخا روےئ ہ � �ی� ئ � آ ٰی مصطف سکعنم دروے امہں وخےئ دخ اتس My Lord and Master Muhammad Mu st af a s as is the reflecting glass in which you can see the attributes of the Almighty. So if you cannot see the Almighty, take a look at Muhammad s as.
