Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. Huzoor, I wanted to ask that just like in the life of the Holy Prophet, his great victory of Islam was revealed, similarly, all the other Prophets whose knowledge I have read a little, according to that, in his life, the end of his nation was decided. So, I wanted to ask that even though the victory of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is also related to the victory of Islam, but the last great victory, it takes some time, it has been a hundred years.
So, Huzoor… Yes, but your question… Please sit down. Your question is not based on facts. Because the Holy Qur’an gives news of such Prophets whose lives were not blessed with the face of victory, the visible victory that you have in your mind at the moment. And after his death, not even the next generation, and not even the next generation after him, and not even the next generation after him, and not even the next generation after him, not even the next century, and not even the next century after him.
So, leaving aside the rest, let’s take the example of Jesus Christ. In this state, he departed from the world, and two out of the twelve disciples sent him a curse. And in the state of disillusionment, in the state of extreme helplessness, in such a state, he departed from the world, at least, he disappeared from the sight of the world, that people thought that he was defeated, he was finished. His message was destroyed.
And like the poor, he was caught in the hands of the poor, and he left the world. If you look at it from the eyes of that era, from the eyes of those arrogant Jews, who were misled by mischief and disorder, then who could have said to them at that time, that you have departed from this world with great victory and glory. So, to say that the circumstances of the prophets are recorded in the Qur’an, this is the truth, is not correct. No, not all of them, I will tell you later. Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, had a promise of forty years of good news, according to the Qur’an. The people did not support him. He was tired all his life in the deserts, from one place to another, from another place to another.
And along with that, according to the Qur’an that you believe in, he kept complaining, that Moses, you have put us in a strange predicament. Even before you came, we were afflicted with the curse, and even after you came, we are in the same state. So, the people do not address a prophet who has attained victory in this way. Then, what was the victory of Prophet Noah? So many people believe that he came in a boat. You can make the boat as big as you want, but still, it was a boat, wasn’t it? I don’t know, but the outcome… The outcome of all prophets is good, there is no doubt about it. What about the people? What? What about the people? What about the people?
You have already reached the end of the matter. This is a series, a promise of God, which will be fulfilled, and it is being fulfilled. The real thing to see is that there is a promise in the Qur’an, that I have made it obligatory on myself, that certainly, without a doubt, I and my prophets will be victorious. This promise is final. Now, the question is, how do we see this promise to be fulfilled? I just gave an example of Jesus Christ, and there were many other prophets, such as Hazrat Ayub, and many others who lived their lives in the state of oppression, and apparently, they did not attain any victory.
So, how could the people of that time recognize that the promise that God has made has been fulfilled, and that the true prophets are always victorious? Okay, now that we are silent, he is also silent. So, how do we see this promise to be fulfilled? God has made a recognition of this in the Qur’an, and that recognition is so strong that it is still being fulfilled today, and that recognition is so strong that it is still being fulfilled today, and there is no doubt about that. Otherwise, people could have asked God, O Allah, you have given victory to Jesus Christ 300 years later. We have rejected him in our short life.
How could we have known that we would be victorious 300 years later? If we had seen it, we would have believed, right? So, you have called us, it is your fault, it is our fault. Therefore, today, if a non-Ahmadi says about Ahmadiyyat, that you say that victory will be seen tomorrow, before that, we do not see you as successful, you were expelled from your country, you became weak, you were dragged into the streets, you were beaten, you were accused of expressing your fundamental beliefs. What else could be the condition of your weakness?
In response to this, the Qur’an says, say, do they not see that in every fight, which tries to upset each other, in every run-in, the outcome is that the land of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, starts to spread, and your land is shrinking. And they do not see that their land is shrinking from all sides. They do not see that their land, the literal translation of this is, that we are creating such a situation that their land is shrinking from all sides. So, how can those whose lands are shrinking be victorious?
This is an eternal argument. Prophets do not have a single moment when opposition makes them weak and small, and stops them from progressing. Christianity was spreading even at a time when it was at the brink of total oppression. And for 300 years, until the final victory, despite being burnt in fire, Christianity continued to spread. Even when they were put alive in front of wild animals, they continued to spread. Even when they were subjected to all kinds of torture, they continued to spread. And not a single day or a single night when the enemy could say that we have become more and Christians have become less. This is a way of identifying which is still valid today, and it used to be like this before.
From the time of the Promised Messiah, until today, there has been continuous opposition, but in some circles, there have been dangerous waves. And after every wave of opposition, the enemy has admitted that this opposition has also led to the spread of Ahmadiyyat, and we have become weak. Even today, they are increasing. Even today, we have not been able to stop them. Therefore, in 1974, they thought that we had made the final attack, and Ahmadiyyat was over.
And after that, a delegation of scholars met with the Marshall Law Authorities and complained to them, and this is an incident published in the newspapers, that the incident of 1974 has passed, we have declared them non-Muslims, we thought that the progress of Ahmadiyyat would stop, but there is a very strong concern that the government should do something because they are spreading continuously. And General Chishti Sahab gave the answer, who is no longer a part of the Marshall Law, because he was considered a very important person at that time. He said that the information of our government is that in the past few years, when the decision of 1974 was made, the number of Ahmadis has increased by 10% through Tabligh.
And since I was involved in this matter, in Waqf-e-Jadid, I tell you with caution that the rate of progress of Ahmadiyyat has increased many times compared to before 1974. So, this is the topic, that they do not see that after every competition, they increase and you decrease. So, how will the one who increases be defeated, and how will the one who decreases be victorious? I have just seen the cuttings of the newspapers, I have seen them this morning. In that, there has been a formal delegation of the clerics, they have met with the ministers of the government, and they have come with a complaint, that you have done everything.
But even today, Ahmadiyyat is doing Tabligh, it is spreading, it is giving Adhans, it is reciting Kalimah, no one could suppress it. So, this is the same picture that has been taken again. The nation that keeps spreading despite the constant opposition, and whose rate of progress cannot be stopped, and which starts eating the number of its enemies, just like the milk of the cow is eaten by the milk of the people around it. This is the same picture that has been drawn by God.
When you put a drop of curd in 100,000 tons of milk, and claim that it will definitely be victorious, then there will be some fool who will object, that okay, I saw it after an hour, there was no victory. I saw it after 10 hours, it is still so small. And I saw it after 4 days, there was still no victory over the drop of 1000 tons or 100,000 tons. You will say, look at this, is it increasing day by day or not? And is the milk of the people around it decreasing day by day or not? If this is the case, then the claim of the milk that I will be victorious, this is the foolishness and the heaven of fools. This is the argument that distinguishes the truthfulness of the prophets from others.
And another phenomenon, another method of this is, that if the way of the prophets is stopped from spreading, then here it is mentioned that we are reducing your land. Sometimes the land slides and the whole enemy is destroyed. The land does not gradually decrease, if it is rejected and ultimately decides that we do not want to accept any situation. Like what happened in the time of Prophet Noah, there was very little speed. But because God has promised that you will have to work, that is why he cleared the land. All the people of that time who lived in that area, they were destroyed within a few days.
So this is the crucial point, that when the enemy reaches a point where there is a question of to be or not to be, whether to live or not to live, then the enemy is destroyed and the communities of God and the prophets prevail.
