God states in the Holy Qur'an: 'O ye who believe! avoid most of suspicions; for suspicion in some cases is a sin...' (49:13) The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said: 'Things go wrong when man starts making erroneous conjectures and is suspicious. Positive thinking enables him to move onwards. It is difficult to reach the destination if he stumbles at the very first stage. Thinking ill of others is a terrible trait and it deprives man of many virtues. So much so that man begins to think ill of God. 'We do not know what is hidden in hearts and it is sinful to make conjectures in this regard. Man considers another to be evil and then becomes worse than him…It is not good to hastily think ill of others. Imagining that one knows what is in hearts is a highly sensitive matter and this caused ruination of many a nation for they thought ill of Prophets of God and their families.' (Tafseer Hazrat Masih e Maud, Vol. 4, p. 218) Speaking of those who think ill of others Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that God had made him Khalifa and had kept him in Divine grace and succour and only the sightless would deny that God had always sent down help for him from the heavens. Addressing those who were critical of paying chanda he said such criticisms were also made to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who responded by telling the critics not to even give a penny in donation and then observe if the mission came to any harm. Hazrat Musleh Maud said he also responded to such people in the same vein challenging them not to pay anything and see how the mission carried on and how God sent people from nowhere with great sense of sacrifice! He added that it was regarding high status of his family (his blessed mother and four siblings) that God had informed the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that his family was to be buried in Bahishti Maqbara without the proviso of Wasiyyat. If his family usurped others why would God have given them this distinction! He said whoever attacks them attacks the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and in turn attacks God. Hazrat Musleh Maud related from personal experience that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that he was shown graves made of silver and an angel told him those graves were his family's. Hazrat Musleh Maud told his critics that while God had turned the soil of their graves into silver owing to their criticism the critics were turning their silver into dust! As hypocrites work surreptitiously Hazrat Musleh Maud made all this public, otherwise, he said it caused him great embarrassment to disclose what he had spent in the name of God. Since a question had been raised he explained that the collective chanda/donation of his family was five times the amount about which it was alleged that he had usurped. He challenged the logic of giving an amount so that one –fifth of it could later be usurped in some way or the other! Huzoor explained that such critics appear is every era but Hazrat Musleh Maud faced a large number of them. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said people who are not part of us anymore had the habit of thinking ill of their brothers. They even said about the Promised Messiah that he spent Langar Khana (public kitchen) funds on his personal use. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) came to know this in his last days and he told Hazrat Musleh Maud that these people imagine that I spend Langar funds on personal use. They do not know that I even spend on Langar the money people give to me as offerings. Hazrat Musleh Maud said he used to manage the Promised Messiah's money orders, so he knew how little Langar funds were and could not have sustained the running of Langar. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that had he left the running of Langar to the people who were unduly critical they would not have been able to manage. This indeed is what happened and Lan
