H A D R AT M IR Z A GHU L A M AH M AD A S 113 the conclusion that, ultimately, it was the Promised Messiah who had to be accepted as true. So, O dear ones! Know for certain that there is only one way in the eternal law of God Almighty to establish the veracity of the truthful. It is that he should prove, with heavenly Signs, that God Almighty is with him and that he is accepted of God. Now, ponder that my claim of being the Promised Messiah is not greater than the claims of Hadrat M u s a and Hadrat ‘ I s a.

Rather, God will destroy him who confronts me and tries to obstruct my mission. I am sur - prised that people take exception to my use of the term ‘Promised
