Qa‘dah 203 Muslims, and sometimes I become restless in this pain, that they do not even have the sense left to feel this disgrace. Did Allah Almighty accept that there be no honour for the Holy Prophet sas ? In response to this much abusive language, would He still not estab- lish any heavenly movement by which the mouths of opponents be closed and the grandeur and purity of the Holy Prophet sas be established? When Allah Almighty Himself, and His angels, send Dur ū d on the Holy Prophet sas , then at the time of such defa- mation, imagine how important the expression of that blessing is. Allah Almighty has manifested that blessing through this Movement. ( Malf uzā t (10 vol edition), vol. 5, pp. 13) The Dur ū d of the Promised Messiah as during dark nights created a clamour in the world which brought about a revival among Muslims. He was granted the greatest status among the followers of the Holy Prophet sas. His example taught us that after the glorification of Allah, the best way of earning the pleasure of Allah Almighty is through Dur ū d. The Promised Messiah as said, It was by means of Dur ū d, and because of observing it abundantly, that God granted me these statuses. ( Al- H akam, vol. 7, no. 8, pp. 7, 28 Feb 1903)
