The Essence of Islam – Volume I — Page 489
The Holy Qur'an It is heavenly honey dripping from the revealed word of God. When this sun of truthfulness appeared in the world; Every owl that worshipped darkness, retreated into its hideout. No one can experience certainty in this world; Except the one who takes refuge in its countenance. He who is blessed with its knowledge, becomes a treasure of knowledge; He who is not aware of it, is like the one who knows nothing of the world. The rain of the grace of the Gracious Lord comes to welcome such a one; Unlucky is he who forsakes it and runs after others. Inclination towards sin is nothing but a satanic taint; Only him I consider human, who gets rid of all mischief. O mine of beauty, I know of your origin; You are the light of the God Who created the universe. I have nothing to do with any one else, you alone are my beloved; We have received your light from Him Who listens to entreaties. 489 [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, Rūķānī Khazā'in Vol. 1, pp. 304-305] Revelation from God (Persian Poem) With the Divine word, the dawn of truth has broken; The eye that has not seen those holy scriptures has seen nothing. The castle of my heart is filled with the fragrance of that musk; The beloved, who had left us, has returned.
