Chapter 62 Life is worth life, eyes are worth eyes
Khalid, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and looked up at Garris after the panic subsided a little, and saw the Frank looking at him with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. There was something profound about it!
This man must know something!
At that time, he knelt on the ground and humbly reported to Eric that Garris was a false prophet and slandered Garris by saying that he was the king of Jerusalem. Once such a lie was known to the man in front of him, he would surely suffer!
Just as the scriptures teach, Khalid fell into panic, as if a curse had come.
[If he is a liar, may Allah's curse be upon him. 】
——"Quran" 24:7
But is he going to tell more lies to cover up what happened before? Wouldn't this make things worse?
Khalid secretly glanced at the townspeople around him. Although the townspeople had not expressed anything yet, Khalid knew that paper could not contain the fire. Sooner or later, what he had done would be exposed by these people. Townsfolk, get out of here...
How will he deal with himself then?
Why not break the jar, tell everything, and beg the man in front of you for forgiveness?
"You must know that Allah has given me the power to perform miracles and miracles, not to make you fanatics kneel down and worship me, but to let me make you know that the flood is not far away."
"If you don't save yourself, when the raging flood from the east comes in the future, the legacy of the Holy Prophet will be destroyed."
"What you encountered the day before yesterday was just a small precursor. When the flood that destroys the world and destroys the earth rushes out over the dam, how will you save yourself?"
Garris was still preaching, but Khalid no longer had the intention to discern the meaning of the words.
He fell deeper and deeper into the self-panic of the snake shadow. So much so that Garris's calm preaching became increasingly distant in his ears, as if he were in two different worlds.
Everything around is dark...
Finally he heard something in a daze.
"If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness... In this way, we can..."
The words spoken by Garris come from the New Testament book of 1 John, emphasizing the importance of repentance and the mercy of God.
This sentence originally had nothing to do with Muslims, but Khalid thought of a sentence. The Holy Prophet taught: Regret is repentance, and repentance is a sinless person.
Just like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, the door of heaven opens a small crack to the person who will fall into hell.
Khalid immediately crawled in front of Garris, hugged Garris' legs, and cried bitterly and told what he had done at that time.
Even if Garris immediately pulled his foot out, it did not affect Khalid's cry of repentance.
"Prophet! You are the true prophet! Unmistakable!"
"Just like the unchangeable scripture that Allah sent down through the mouth of the Holy Prophet, you are also an undoubted prophet, the younger brother of Narsa, who is one and the same, and died on the cross for Jesus , now that you have returned from seclusion, you will be the Imam of all the peoples of the earth!”
"A few days ago, I not only questioned your identity, but also reported you to Eric, who was in Hell, as a false prophet and told lies, saying that you called yourself the King of Jerusalem!"
"In the early days, when I saw you perform miracles, I should have understood that this was Allah's will! But at that time, I was actually fooled by the man using lard and said such blasphemous words."< br>
"This is all my fault..."
In these rambling words of confession, Khalid even used lard to express his regret, which brought a huge shock to the surrounding townspeople.
He is not an ordinary person, but the Imam in this town, a scholar and teacher who guides believers in worship and teaches religion!
Although Sunni imams are not as noble and special as Shias, they do not have the various privileges of the clergy in Catholicism. But now this town has no mayor! The mayor was killed by Eric's attendant with a sword, so he, Khalid, was the one with the most noble status among them all.
Such a religious model personally acknowledges Gehlis's prophetic status. How should the people around him deal with this?
And when they thought that the demonic Eric before had only one head left and was brought to the town by Garris, they subconsciously agreed with Khalid's words.
Many people around him knelt down and followed Khalid in reciting those words.
"Prophet! You are the true prophet! Unmistakable!"
"You are the younger brother of Narsa, who is one and the same. He died on the cross for Jesus. Now that you have returned from seclusion, you should be the imam of thousands of peoples on the earth!"
One, two, three... The power of a group is terrifying. When someone takes the lead, others follow suit.
Garris did not continue to preach. After seeing other people around him kneel down to Khalid, his expression turned cold.
The more people around him knelt, the darker the expression on his face became.
While he was here, these people knelt before him.
But after he leaves, who will these kneeling people continue to kneel to?
"Get up! Don't kneel! The Leper King is gone, no one is worthy of your kneeling! I am not worthy of your kneeling either!"
Gareth's words were laced with anger.
But this was meaningless, no one was willing to stand up, because their Imam Khalid, who was responsible for leading the prayer, was still lying on the ground mumbling repentance.
Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Garris walked toward the east, leaving only his back.
Only this time, when Garris left, he turned around and said something.
“They shall give life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and every wound shall be repayment. Whoever uses it to give alms, it is his redemption, and whoever does not give according to what Allah has sent down Those who judge, these people are the losers.”
"Those soldiers who have killed your relatives, raped your wives and daughters, and robbed your property are all in the Ahmed family compound now. If you don't come to identify them, you will be deemed to have forgiven them..."
But when Garris said this, the expression on his face showed a sarcastic look.
The meaning seems to be to laugh at these townspeople in Alhadi Town, using the name of forgiveness to cover up their timidity. After they were violated, they did not even dare to face the person who violated them and identify them.
But at this moment, Garris heard a familiar voice.
"I'm going, I'm going to identify those...sinners!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, at the door of the medical center, Dr. Abdullah, with unkempt hair and red eyes, stood weakly leaning against the wall.
