"Everything was building up--moral life, spiritual life, intelligence was coming back up in Nineveh. And where was Jonah? On the dead beach. It says that God felt sorry for him, so he caused the gourd plant to grow up and give him some shade on the beach. He felt sorry for him, Now those who refuse me, they are getting mercy, They get the mercy of the crumbs from out table, They send their people here when I am here talking to write down notes and take it back to them. But they live on the beach, and what they are working with, they are the crumbs from this table, And what it grows for them? It grows a little gourd plant that gives them a shade from their suffering, The burning of their passions." Imam Mohammed(ra) "Messiah-Mahdi" - Jumu'ah December 1, 1978
