The government of Punjab in Pakistan has recently banned the publication and display of some Jama'at publications. With the use of mobile technology and messaging apps news travels very fast these days. People from Pakistan write in to Huzoor expressing their anxiety at the matter. It should be remembered this opposition against the Jama'at is nothing new. Through the history of the Jama'at the so-called religious leaders have raised objections and created difficulties for the Jama'at and they are not going to stop. Neither their ploys harmed the Jama'at in the past nor will they harm it in future. No mother has born a child who can stop the Divine mission of the Promised Messiah. Their antagonism and is rooted in jealousy at the progress of the Jama'at and the intensity of their jealousy makes them lose their senses. Apparently educated folk behave worse than illiterates, without trying to find out the glorious manner in which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote about the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and Islam. Fair-minded people are astonished to browse through our literature as they realise the utterly false and fabricated manner in which writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) are portrayed by our detractors. They express their amazement on Live programmes on MTA as well as write in saying they have only now realised the high stature of writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as their religious leaders had kept them in the dark. Our detractors do what they do but as ever their ploys will only further burnish our faith and will enrich our connection with the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Let alone the government of Punjab even if the entire world made an effort to place obstructions, our work will not stop because it is Divine work. Indeed God sent the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) with spiritual treasures and promised him success. The more our opponents try to suppress us, the greater is our advancement and InshaAllah things will work out in this vein again. There is no need to worry as now our books are published in other countries of the world as well. They are also available online and in audio format. There was a time when restrictions on printing caused concern but now these treasures of spiritual knowledge are spread out in the ether and it is for us to take maximum advantage of them. Huzoor has decided that dars (lesson) on the Promised Messiah's (on whom be peace) books should now be given more than ever. Thus restrictions placed in one province of Pakistan will end up being beneficial for everyone. The dars will be in the original language of the books but material will be available in many other languages. Those who are worried about the situation should let go their concerns. This restriction yet again clarifies a point: these people claim to have great ardent love for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and say that their opposition against us is borne of this ardent love but they have never read our literature fair-mindedly. Today's sermon was based on extracts from the writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), writings about which our opponents claim that, God forbid, they are contrary to the esteem and glory of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). It is astonishing that anyone who claims to love the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) can remain unwilling to perceive or understand after reading or listening to these writings! The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote: 'God Almighty's design with regard to Prophets and auliya' [friends of God/saints/holy men] is that every type of their high moral quality should be manifested and should be clearly established. To fulfil this design God Almighty divides their glorious lives into two parts. One part is passed in hardship and under calamities, in
