1896 369 O N uh [Noah]! Keep your dream secret. People asked: ‘When will this promise be fulfilled?’ Say: Allah's promise is true promise. You are with me and I am with you, and this verity is known only to those who are rightly guided. Despair not of Allah's mercy. Look at Y u suf [Joseph] and his glory. Allah has taken note of his, that is A tham’s, grief and therefore He has postponed the chastisement. This is the way of Allah and you will not find a change in the way of Allah. Do not be surprised and do not grieve. You will be on top if you remain steadfast in faith. By My honour and My glory you will surely be on top. We shall break the enemies into bits and their plan will come to naught. We shall lay bare the secret and on that day the believers will be happy, a group from among the earlier ones and a group from among the later ones. This is a reminder and let him who wishes, adopt the way to his Lord. The Christians have changed the reality and We shall bring back humiliation and defeat upon them. A tham will be thrown into the exterminating fire. We give you good tidings of a gentle son, who will be a manifestation of truth and exaltation as if Allah had descended from heaven. His name is Emmanuel, which means God is with us. A son will be granted to you and grace of God will come close to you. My light is near. Proclaim: I seek the protection of the Lord from the mischievous creation. He is a lifeless calf from which proceeds a meaningless sound; (this refers to Lekhr a m); for him is pain and torment, that is, in this very world.
