Powder of bhulawa [i.e. medicine taken dry and unmixed] was being discussed. The Promised Messiah (as) said, ‘It is useful for impotence.’
The Promised Messiah (as) said, ‘It counts as a sin to refrain from saying what is right due to the fear of derision by people.’
The Sultan of Turkey was under discussion. The Promised Messiah (as) said:
Even in these forlorn times, Muslim kings have not forsaken the path of the remembrance of God Almighty. It is reported that the Sultan of Turkey goes to the mosque for the Friday Prayer and meets the ascetics.
The Promised Messiah (as) said:
It is my principle that truth should be spread in the world. The great need of the present age is to prove the existence of God Almighty.
The Promised Messiah (as) said, ‘Well-reasoned arguments are an attribute of the Prophets.’
The Promised Messiah (as) said:
Camel riding has the benefit of dissolving and dissipating unwholesome fluids. It is beneficial in illnesses like diabetes and frequent urination.
The Promised Messiah (as) said:
The rich cannot listen to lengthy discourses. A preacher should say a small anecdote which could catch their attention immediately and accomplish the task.
The subject of polygamy was under discussion. The Promised Messiah (as) said:
The Shariah of God has permitted it because the need exists. If a man is able but his wife is unable to bear children, why should he remain childless and make himself barren too? Effort is made to preserve the breed even of a thoroughbred horse. Why should the progeny of a human being be jeopardized?
Christian priests characterize a second wife as adultery. What do they have to say about the earlier Prophets? It is said that Solomon (as) had several hundreds of wives, and so did David (as) [have many wives]. If the intent is pure and the objective is righteousness, even having ten or twenty wives is not a sin. If, God forbid, more than one marriage is all adultery, as per the Christians, then their God was also born from the progeny of David (as) . In that case, it is a great recipe, and a very blessed practice.
Christian priests are drawn to useless things and do not look at the real issue. It is written in the Gospels that if someone has faith even as small as a mustard seed, and orders a mountain to move from here to there, it shall move. Christians need to furnish proof of their faith or else they are all faithless. Muslims have always had people who showed Signs.
At a meeting with a government official, the Promised Messiah (as) said:
May God bring the days of spiritual meetings. A physical meeting is nothing, nor does lip service mean anything. It is the heart that is needed.
The Promised Messiah (as) said:
The extent to which a person adopts justice is the extent to which his conscience becomes illumined.
The Promised Messiah (as) said, ‘Those who reject this Prophet reject all Prophets.’
The Promised Messiah (as) said, ‘Religion has come from heaven and it always receives its irrigation from heaven.’1
