Insight The Promised Messiahas said: “Insight is also a worthy quality. There is the example of the Jewish man who, upon seeing the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, instantly said: ‘I see the signs of prophethood in this man.’ Then, in the same manner, there were the Christians who chose not to come forth to contend with the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at the time of the prayerduel, because their advisor had told them: ‘I perceive such faces that if they tell the mountains to move, they shall move aside.’” The Promised Messiahas said: “If a person has even a fraction of spirituality within them, they shall accept me.”
A desire to write a book of teaching The Promised Messiahas said: “It is my desire to write a book of teaching which Maulvi Muhammad Ali Sahib should then translate. This book will have three sections. The first section will be on our duties to Allah the Exalted, the second section will deal with the rights that we owe to our own souls, and the third section will provide an exposition on the rights that we owe to humanity at large.” (Malfuzat [English], Vol. 2, p. 105)
