The Promised Messiahas said: “At present, there are many men from among our opponents about whom it is a matter decreed that they shall join our community. These people oppose us, but the angels look at them and laugh with the thought that: ‘Ultimately, you are going to join these very people.’ Such people constitute a hidden community of ours that will one day join us.”
On returning from his walk, the Promised Messiahas went inside and emerged when it was time for food. He spoke of the selfish nature of the Muslim clergy and also discussed, from various aspects, the despicable customs surrounding divorce and halalah. He joined with the congregation to offer his Zuhr and Asr Prayer, then after offering the evening Prayer, he remained among us until he became free from offering the Isha Prayer. After the evening Prayer, the Promised Messiahas heard a letter from a friend as well as readings from two other newspapers. Maulvi Abdul-Karim Sahibra recited a poem by Mir Hamid Shah Sahibra, which pleased the Promised Messiahas greatly and he instructed that the poem be published in the newspaper. The poem was:
ڈنكا بجا جہاں مىں مسىح كے نام كا
خادم ہے دىن پاك رسول انام كا
The name of the Messiah gained fame far and wide; he who is a servant of the Pure Religion of the Messenger of Mankind.
