God the Glorious, says: 143 فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْأَوْثَانِ وَ اجْتَنِبُوا قَوْلَ الزَّورِة. That is: Shun the abomination of idols and shun all words of falsehood, because falsehood is no less than an idol. That which turns you away from the Qiblah of truth is an idol in your path. Bear true witness even if it should be against your fathers or brothers or friends. Let no enmity prevent you from doing justice. . Give up all miserliness, rancour, jealousy, ill-will and coldness and be united. There are two main commandments of the Holy Qur'ān: One is to acknowledge the Unity of God and to render love and obedience to Him, hallowed be His name; the second is sympathy with your brethren and with the whole of mankind. [Izāla-e-Auhām, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 3, pp. 546-550]. The members of my Jama'at, whether they are present here or whether they are in their own places, should listen carefully to this admonition. The purpose of their joining the Movement and establishing with me a relationship like that of a disciple is that they should achieve a high degree of piety and righteousness. No wrongdoing or mischief should ever come near them. . They should offer the five daily Prayers regularly and with congregation, and should not lie nor hurt anyone by their tongues. They should not be guilty of any kind 143 Al-Hajj, 22:31 [Publisher]
