The expressions in this prophetical passage that the Kingdom
of God shall consist of "the People of the Saints of the Most

a clear and true idea concerning the nature and the constitu-
tion of the "Kingdom of God on earth" it is necessary to
cast a glance upon the history of the religion of Islam before
it was perfected, completed, and formally established by God
Himself under His Messenger Muhammad.
