Propagation, Establishment of a Holy Jama‘at, and Instructions Favours upon those who are Accepted into the Service of God It is the way of God that when He accepts service, He necessarily bestows some favour in return. Miracles and signs, which cannot be matched by other people, are also bounties of God Almighty which are bestowed upon His particular servants. 94

Appointment of the Promised Messiahas for Rejuvenation of Islam God Almighty, observing the condition of the earth and finding it filled with disobedience, sinfulness and misguidance, has appointed me for the propagation of the truth and for the reform of the people.
[Tadhkirat-ush-Shahadatain, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 20, pp. 3-4]
It was when the thirteenth century [of the Hijra] was about to come to an end and the fourteenth was about to begin, that, under God’s command, I sent out a call 94 O thou who are caught in thy desires during thy whole life, how can thou expect help from Him while thy soul is in such darkness.
If you will practise such sincerity as was practised by Mosesas, it would not be a matter for wonder if a Pharaoh should be drowned. [Publisher] through written and verbal announcements that I am the one who was to come from God at the turn of this century for the revival of the faith, to re-establish the faith which had disappeared from the earth, to draw the world to reform and righteousness with the power bestowed by God and with the force of His hand, and to remove their errors of doctrine and conduct. Within a few years of this, it was disclosed to me plainly through revelation that I am the Messiah who, from the very beginning, had been appointed for the Muslims, and also the last Mahdi, who had been appointed by Divine decree to come at the time of the decline of Islam and the spread of error. This last Mahdi who was to receive guidance directly from God, and was to present the heavenly banquet afresh to people, and whose advent had been prophesied thirteen hundred years in advance by the Holy Prophetsa, is none other than my own self.
I continued to receive so many clear revelations and Divine communication in this regard that no room was left for any doubt. Every revelation established itself firmly in my heart like a steel nail. All these Divine revelations were full of great prophecies which were fulfilled as clearly as a bright day. Their continuity and numbers and miraculous power compelled me to confess that they were the word of the same One God, Who has no associate and Whose Word is the Holy Qur’an.
