The Commentary of Al-Qasidah — Page 42
42 The commentary of al-Qa si dah faiths, be they Hindus or Jews, Zoroastrians or Buddhists, Christians or followers of any other religion, will be deprived of this grand favour of All a h. It is a fact that the door of direct communication with All a h has been closed to all religions except Islam. It should be understood that their deprivation is a result of their own actions, which led them astray from the right path. Innately within every human being is a great and powerful urge to speak to, listen to and see the one they love most. This develops an understanding of the beloved. Similarly, a comprehensive understanding of All a h cannot be achieved unless one can hear His eloquent and harmonious voice. True lovers of All a h prostrate their heads on the ground crying and supplicating in extreme humility for Him to respond. They could never be satisfied with His silence. True love cannot tolerate such an offense. Human nature demands to hear the satisfying sound of the beloved. Persistent thoughts arise from within the depths of the heart to quench this desire as it is written: · ² y I 5Ú uP Z E >? ¦ @ 6 A Love demands the beloved to converse with the lover. Inquire from the one who knows the secrets of this love. ( Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya , Part 3, Footnote 11, R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 1, p. 172) Since the Holy Prophet sa is unrivalled in his love for All a h and he maintains the knowledge of the secrets of this love, he has no match
