848 Translation: [Arabic] Allah will make us prevail and we shall not be prevailed over. The Promised Messiah [as] said: The indication is that we shall prevail over the enemies and shall not be vanquished by them. [Badr, vol. 2, no. 19, May 10, 1906, p. 2 and al- H akam, vol. 10, no. 16, May 10, 1906, p. 1] May 5, 1906 [Urdu] The spring has arrived again and with it the days of snow. Thalj is an Arabic word. One of its meanings is the snow that falls from the sky and causes the temperatures to drop. It is always accompanied by rain. The term for it in Arabic is thalj. Based on this meaning the revelation seems to indicate that during the spring season Allah the Almighty will cause to descend from heavens calamities of an unusual nature in our country and the snow and its necessary accompaniments shall cause extreme cold and heavy downpour. The second meaning of the word in Arabic is satisfaction of the heart which results from good reasons becoming available and putting the mind completely at ease. That is why the term ‘ thalj of the heart’ is used to denote complete satisfaction caused by a speech, namely presentation of such conclusive arguments as provide complete satisfaction. Sometimes the word is also used for joy and comfort, which results from the satisfaction of the heart. It is obvious that when ones heart attains complete satisfaction in a matter, the necessary consequence is joy and comfort.
