Projections heaped upon the Messenger
“The discouragement, the disappointment, the projections of evil and blame upon the Messenger will be heaped upon him as he proceeds. Even now he stands at the threshold of an unwelcoming world, seeking those individuals who can respond, who are ready to be amongst the first to receive the reality that God has spoken again.” [1]
"The Messenger will be denied. He will be ridiculed. Others will attack him. Others will feel threatened by his presence and his proclamations—not because he is wrong but because they cannot face the fact that God has spoken again. They do not have the courage or the humility to reconsider their position, their ideas or their previous investment in themselves." [2]
The lessons of the past
"You will see that the Messenger will be judged. He will be condemned. Others will make it their purpose to destroy him. Learn the lessons from the past in this regard. He is not simply here to sacrifice himself so that other people can create a story about him. He has his own story—a story of the Messenger, a story he is too humble to speak of, a story that must be revealed to all who can hear and understand." [2]
The challenge for you
"The challenge is upon you, then, for the Messenger is not here to prove himself to you. You must prove yourself to him and to those who sent him. Deny him, and you deny those who sent him. You deny the Lord of the Universe to protect your religious ideas, your social ideas, your political ideas, your grievances, your fears, your condemnation of religion, your pride, your arrogance, your ignorance, your stupidity without even looking to see what the Revelation really is."[3]
