You are to Me as My Unity and My Uniqueness. So the time has come that you should be recognised among people. You are currently passing through a time that nobody recognises you.

So tell them: I am nothing; it is all from Allah and then leave them occupied with their useless concerns. Holy is Allah, Blessed and High, Who has increased your status. The time is coming that no one will talk of your ancestors, and count of the progeny will begin with you (and this is the way Almighty God has always treated the Prophets and the great appointed ones). Allah will not leave you till He has demonstrated the difference between the unclean and the clean. I determined to appoint a vicegerent and so I created A dam. O A dam, dwell you and your companions and your wife in the paradise. O Ahmad, dwell you and your companions and your wife in the paradise. O Maryam [Mary], dwell you and your companions and your wife in the paradise. You will die at a time when I am pleased with you. With Allah’s grace, you will enter the garden. In security, with purity and with peace, you will enter the paradise.
