Pearls of Wisdom -
Allāh has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious. (Chapter 24 - Al-Nur Verse 56)
Hadrat Huzaifara relates that the Holy Prophetsa said that the Prophet-hood shall be with you as long as Allāh wills and He will take it away. Then there shall be Khilāfat on the path of Prophethood and it shall remain with you as long as Allāh wills and then He shall take it away. Then there shall be a biting rule and it shall be with you as long as Allāh wills and then He will take it away. Then there shall be a brutal rule and it shall remain with you as long as Allāh wills and then He shall take it away. Then there shall be Khilāfat on the path of Prophet-hood. Then the Holy Prophetsa kept silent. (Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal)
Writings of the Promised Messiah (Peace be upon him) - Sultan-ul-Qalam (King of the Pen)
It is the practice of God Almighty, and since He created man on this earth, He has been demonstrating this
practice, that He helps His messengers and grants them ascendancy. He has said: "Allāh has decreed: Most
surely I will prevail, I and My Messengers. Verily, Allāh is Powerful, Mighty." (58:22) Here prevail means as it is
the intention of messengers and pPs their truth with His mighty signs. The truth which they want to disseminate
in the world, He sows its seeds with their hands. But He does not accomplish it through them. Rather, He causes
them to die at a time when there is the fear of their collapse. Thus, He allows his enemies to laugh, jeer, ridicule
and scorn. When they have done this, then He shows His hand of might and brings about grounds with which
the goals that were a little unfinished, reach their zeanith. Thus, He manifests two kinds of power:
1. He shows His hand of might through the Prophets.
2. Secondly, at the time of the demise of a
Prophet, when difficulties mount and
the enemy is in full might and thinks
that the followers of the prophet are
in a disarray and is sure that now, this
community will be estroyed. When
some within the community become
hesitant and their backs are broken and
some unfortunates among them even
apostatize, then God manifests His
strong hand of might and sustains the
collapsing community. Thus, he who
shows patience till the end, watches
this divine miracle.
You should therefore, neither grieve over what I have told you (that the hour of my demise is nigh) nor should you
be heart-broken for it is mandatory that you see God's second manifestation. The coming of that manifestation
is a better for you because it is eternal and its succession will not terminate till the end of days. When I go, Allāh
will send to you the second manifestation and it will stay with you forever.
