“The fact of the matter is that God does as He pleases. He transforms desolate wastelands into inhabitations and reduces flourishing cities to ruins… Hence, bear well in mind that to depend on medicine and human strategies whilst putting aside God Almighty is extremely foolish. What is required is a completely new life; one full of seeking forgiveness from Allah. Those who are engaged heavily in worldly matters ought to be more fearful. Those in employment often fail to observe their obligations to God… Do not fail to offer the rights owed to God’s servants and the rights owed to God… Bear well in mind that one who does not thank their fellow man is ungrateful to God as well.” (Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as, Malfuzat, Vol. 1, pp. 264-265)
