A message was received from a respected friend of this claimant of revelation from Lahore – a Hafiz Sahib – who said that he viewed past signs to be futile and has no interest in listening to any signs of the past.
At this, the Promised Messiah, on whom be peace, said:
“Alas! Such people do not understand that nothing from God Almighty should be looked upon as being unworthy of recognition. Allah the Exalted addressed a people of the past in the following words:
اَوَلَمۡ یَکۡفِہِمۡ اَنَّاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡکَ الۡکِتٰبَ یُتۡلٰی عَلَیۡہِمۡ
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to thee the Book which is recited to them?
Does this not make reference to signs of the past?”
The Promised Messiahas went on to say:
“Now the times are such that our friends ought to visit me again and again, so that their faith and righteousness may increase by witnessing the new and fresh signs that are manifested daily in my favour.”
