160 MALFUZAT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 7 مَنْ كَانَ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيْهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِهِ - Almighty Allah becomes the Helper of he who helps his brother. '¹ Two Revelations After this, the Promised Messiahas said that yesterday he had received the following revelation: مَحَوْنَا نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ [We have banked down the fire of hell. ] It is peculiar to the Word of Allah the Exalted that sometimes grammarians object to certain compositions. However, Allah the Exalted is not bound by these conventions. 3 The plague has also been referred to as the fire of hell. There was a revelation before as well: 1. From al-Badr: The Promised Messiahas said, 'When I start to pray upon hear- ing of my friends suffering from pain, then there is peace in this itself, as has been mentioned in the noble hadith: مَنْ كَانَ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيْهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِهِ meaning whoever is engaged in helping his brother, God Himself comes to his aid. (Al- Badr, vol. 1, no. 1, p. 6, dated 6 April 1905) 2. From al-Badr : مَحَوْنَا نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ - We have banked down the fire of hell. The Promised Messiahas said, 'By way of interpretation, the thought arises that perhaps Allah the Exalted is about to remove the plague from the world. God knows best. Alternatively, it can mean that He is going to remove it from this village. (Al-Badr, vol. 1, no. 1, p. 3, dated 6 April 1905) 3. From al-Badr: The Promised Messiahas said, 'Allah the Exalted is not subject to people's idioms and grammatical rules. There are many examples of this in Divine scriptures, and the revelations of the Prophetsas and saints that many sentences and phrases have been revealed contrary to man-made rules. (Al- Badr, vol. 1, no. 1, p. 6, dated 6 April 1905)
