Almighty. However, if this wisdom and understanding—which serve as the water of life for those whose hearts are dead—is not procurable from any other source, then you have no excuse for the crime that you have rejected the fountain that has been opened from heaven. No one on earth can stop it. Do not rush towards confrontation lest you should deliberately invite the charge about which God says: 86 Do not go too far in suspicion and mistrust lest you should be seized on account of what you allege and in this agony you might have to say: 87

…O ye Muslims, if you believe truly in God Almighty and in His Holy Prophetsa and are awaiting Divine help, then be sure that the time of such help has arrived. This affair is not from man, nor has it been devised by man. In fact, this is the dawn which had been prophesised in Holy Scriptures from ancient times. God Almighty has remembered you at the time 86 Follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart; all these shall be called to account.—Bani Isra’il, 17:37 [Publisher] 87 What has happened to us that we see not the men whom we used to reckon among the wicked?—Sad, 38:63 [Publisher] Propagation, Establishment of a Holy Jama‘at, and Instructions of your dire need. You were about to fall into the pit of ruin, but His Compassionate Hand has come to your rescue. Be grateful and jump with joy that the day of your revival has arrived. God Almighty would not permit the ruin of the garden of His faith, which was irrigated by the blood of the righteous. He does not desire that, like the religions of other people, Islam also should become a collection of ancient tales, which should exhibit no current blessing. He Himself provides light when the darkness is at its height. Do you not look for a new moon after the night of complete darkness? You comprehend fully the physical law of nature, but, alas, you are wholly unaware of the spiritual law which it resembles. A Warning to Selfish Divines and Men of Barren Piety O selfish divines and men of barren piety! Fie on you that you do not desire the opening of the heavenly doors and wish that they should remain closed forever so that you might maintain your positions of eminence. Look into your hearts and examine your conscience. Is your life free from the worship of the world? Do your hearts not suffer from the rust which involves you in darkness? Are you in any way different from the Pharisees and jurists who, in the time of the Messiahas, were wholly given to self-love? Is it not true that thereby you are yourselves furnishing a parallel for the appearance of the like of Jesusas and are placing yourselves under the judgement of God
