SuB-Footnote Number Three 367 ذْكُوْرًا َّ ُن ْ شَيْـًٔا م ک َ ی ْ هْر ِ لَم َّ ن َ الد ِّ ْن ٌ م ی ِْنْسَان ِ حِ ال ا ی َ عَل ی هَل ْ اَتٰ Has not man—meaning, you—passed through a period of time when nobody in the world knew you or talked about you? That is, nobody knew you as to who you are, nor your status. You were not in anyone’s reckoning; meaning, you amounted to nothing. This is a reference to the kindnesses and favours already bestowed, so that it should serve as a specimen for the future favours of the True Benefactor. سبحان الل ّٰ تبارك و تعالٰی زاد مجدك. ینقطع اباؤك و یبدء منك. All kinds of Holiness belong to Allah, who possesses all bless- ings, and is the Highest Being. He has raised your status. The name and remembrance of your forefathers will be cut off— that is, they will not be remembered in their independent capacities—and God will initiate respect and honour with you. ت بالصدق ایھا الصدیق. نصرت وقالوا الت حین مناص. ي نصرت بالرعب واحی You have been helped with prestige and have been brought to life with truth, O truthful one. You have been helped; and your opponents said, ‘No way of escape is left. ’ This indicates that divine help will reach such a stage that the oppo- nents will be broken-hearted and they will be filled with despair, and truth will be made manifest. ث من الطیب. ي ك حتی یمیز الخب ك ان ہللا لیتر ك ما و Allah is not such as to leave you until He clearly distinguishes between the foul and the pure. َعْلَمُوْنَ. ی َ ال ِ اس َّ اَكْثَر َ الن َّ ِن ک اَمْرِه ٖ و َ لٰ ی ٰۤ و َ الل ُّٰ غَالِب ٌ عَل Allah is supreme over His decree but most people know it not.
