17 SEPTEMBER 1905 17 SEPTEMBER 1905 Making Due Effort The Promised Messiahas said: The person who fails to invest the necessary effort to seek God Almighty is a kāfir [disbeliever] as well. Each thing can be of benefit only when it is carried out to its necessary extent. Just as a well can be made by digging 40 or 50 cubits in this land, if a person digs only four or five cubits and says there is no water here, then it is his fault. The fact is that this person has not car- ried out the due effort. (Before Zuhr Prayer) The Superiority of the Holy Prophet, may Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him The Promised Messiahas said: Addressing the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, it is stated in the Holy Quran : فَبِهَا هُمُ اقْتَدِهُ So follow them; that is, the previous Prophets mentioned above. 1.
