Lettre de Noorooyya (Qadiani) destiné à l’Empire britannique
1st of January 1917
To
His Excellency Sir H.H.Bell, K.C.M.G
May it please, your Excellency,
We hail your Excellency and wish you a good and happy New Year and beseach[1] that our message of peace and loyalty be conveyed to His Majesty the King.
May Allah have mercy upon His humble creatures and bring the war through the instrumentality of our beloned king, son of the Peace-Maker, to a glorious conclusion for the British throne and allies. He is the sole Ruler of the universe and can do what He likes. We sincerely pray the Almighty Allah to stop the carnage and annihilation of humanity by this horrible war. It is prayer alone that can convert impossibilities into possibilities. WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE EVER SINCE THE WAR BEGAN BECAUSE WE ARE ENJOINED BY THE PROMISED MESSIAH TO DO SO FOR THE REASON THAT BRITISH RULE IS THE BEST GOVERNMENT THAT MAY BE HAD ON THE EARTH.
I remain your Excellency’s most obedient servant.
