The Essence of Islam – Volume V — Page 138

138 I had nothing, but He gave me plenty. Essence of Islam-V There is none among the bounties of this world, That He has not granted me through His grace. His bounty has transformed a single drop into a river; I was mere dust, He turned me into the Pleiades. I was destitute, helpless, unknown, and without any ability; No one even knew where Qadian was. People were simply unaware of this place; No one knew if I even existed. Now, you see, how the world has turned this way! This very Qadian has become focus of every eminent person.
