664 Ā'ĪNA-E-KAMĀLĀT-E-ISLĀM―DĀFI‘UL-WASĀWIS Muslims. Muslims, especially those who oppose [Mirza Ṣāḥib] should reflect that the prophecies of the one who is labelled as a staunch disbeliever, dajjāl, and deceiver are being fulfilled by Allah even though he is ‘heaping lies' upon Allah the Exalted, while those who are 'following' the Holy Prophetas are being totally deprived by Allah of any influence on anybody.

He was instrumental in causing the repentance of many Naturalists who could not be influenced by the maulawis in the least, thereby mitigating the influence of Naturalism in the Punjab. Now those very Naturalists, who did not even look like Muslims, have adopted the character of true
