The twelve hues of earth and the leaves from the Mount of Qaf

"The twelve hues of earth and the leaves from the Mount of Qaf."

He came to me and said:

O Ahmad, do not burden yourself by constantly standing and watching the workers in your office. Sit down and listen to the news I bring, and write it down. Do not withhold any part of it out of fear or worry.

O Ahmad, with every hardship comes ease from Allah for those who are patient and mindful of Him—those who worship and devote themselves to Allah without intermediaries or doubt in their hearts. Truly, the help of Allah is near for those who are patient and reflective.

O Ahmad, truly say to those who read the messages you are commanded to write—do they prefer to read and then turn away, like the Children of Israel who picked and chose the messages brought by the Prophets? If the commands, advice and messages benefited them and were tangible, they remained silent and simply followed. But when the messages and commands became burdensome, they accused the Prophets of falsehood, as if it all came from the Prophet’s own will and those with him. Verily, the whale of Prophet Yunus (the Nun) stands clearly before you—do they now wish to hasten the Day of Judgement just so they may witness it too? Indeed, they are a people who resemble the Children of Israel in the time of my brother Musa.

O Ahmad, indeed, the scholar has lied out of fear of the questions posed by those above him, and so he conceals the true message. Do not let yourself be afraid or anxious. Truly, that servant of Allah who was ill was among those with hardened hearts. But look at his condition now—Allah has lightened the burden of his illness and renewed his spirit to live. He is grateful for his regained health, and this is a sign that his repentance has been accepted. Allah will send a scholar from their land who will defend you and your vessel. If he does so, he is among the God-fearing and the truthful.

O Ahmad, ascend again with me to Mount Qaf, if only for a while. Go to the place where we usually meet, for I wish to convey a decree and the best plan for your vessel. Allah will not allow the hunters to easily seize what is in your ‘hand’. Do they think the olive trees and the land on Mount Qaf are the same as those in their own country? No! Indeed, the land of Mount Qaf is from the very surface of the earth from which Allah created Adam with His own hands. Among the twelve colours, there is one colour and one element that Allah has permitted you to take, and the water of Mount Qaf shall complete it. Such is the clear will of Allah.

O Ahmad, your noble grandfather once said that the best of people are those who bring benefit to others through their knowledge and wealth. So strive to uphold Allah’s commands and do not be afraid. Do those disbelieving scholars think they have deceived you and your brother? Truly, they are the ones deceived and will perish by the Perfect Plan of Allah. They are not of the lineage of the land of Arkhabil like you and your brothers, nor are they worshippers of Allah—they are idol worshippers. Do not fear or worry. One day, that person will come crawling to beg for the medicine that is in your hands. Nothing escapes Allah’s sight of what the disbelievers do. Remain steadfast with your followers.

O Ahmad, remain firm in your heart. Allah will surely send scholars from the land of your brothers who will strive alongside the scholars in your vessel. They will be the defenders promised by Allah. And remain in concealment.

Ignore those who question whatever you have proclaimed. Have not the signs from Allah already been made clear? Truly, they are a foolish people, who remain silent when the truth stands before them, then turn away and claim that the messengers of the world and their own selves are more worthy than confirming what they have seen. Indeed, they are among the losers, and they are the ones who will plead for your intercession to save them from Hellfire for the sin of mocking you and calling you a liar. Truly, your noble grandfather Muhammad loves you and prays that Allah accepts his supplication for you.

O Ahmad, once again, the transgressing people have claimed that a plague will descend upon your land and the land of your brothers. You must hasten to prepare its remedy. Has not Allah shown you the path to Qaf? Gather some leaves from the tree there, as I have taught you. Measure and mix them correctly into the medicine your followers have come to redeem, and be just—do not reject their desire to support you. Fulfil this task.

— Ahmad F. Bin A. Syams
