194 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 9 blessings of Allah be upon him, has conveyed salām [the greet- ing of peace] to the Promised Messiah and has bequeathed to have his salām conveyed to him. Now, if the Messiah who is to come is the same one that is present among the Prophets in heaven, then he will descend to the world after passing by the Noble Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. He should, therefore, have brought salām from the Noble Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to the Muslims rather than the people of this world conveying to him the salām of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, when he comes here. This is just like the proverb گھر سے میں آؤں اور خبریں تم سناؤ I have come from home, yet you relate the news from there. ' This message of salām of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, clearly tells us that the one to arise within the Ummah is an individual who has not met the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. ¹ 1.
