Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 166 trust and faith that I am now completely free from the help and assistance of anyone else. " It is no wonder that each and every aspect and facet of the life of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra is nothing but the reflection of that eternal love for God. Throughout his life, by act and deed, spoken word or non-verbal conduct, he indicated his unwavering trust and faith in God. He never had the desire for a single moment to forsake that hand he was holding all his life. Even before his death, he was repeatedly counselling people around him, "Fix it firmly in your heart and mind that there is no one worthy of worship but God. " He felt overjoyed and happy to repeat that God was his Master and Lord and that Muhammad sa , the greatest Messenger of God, was his guide and teacher. The Love for Muhammad sa If one is to seek the path of love for God, then the fast track is to follow in the footprints of Muhammad sa. Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra , who had a deep attachment to the Book of God , acted fully and completely upon its direction and guidance. He made his verbal and non-verbal conduct to mirror nothing but the conduct of his own master. It was, therefore, his deepest desire to saturate himself so completely in the love of Muhammad sa that his every act, word and move mirrored the nobility of his master. Once he had the occasion to enumerate the qualities of Islam in a book on Christianity. He delineated, with all possible details, the character and conduct of his master, Muhammad sa. He writes ( Fasl-ul-Khitaab , pp. 90-91): My pen cannot falter in stating those numerous qualities found in Muhammad sa. In brief, I go once again over the teachings presented by him, which are the quintessence of all teachings. He (Muhammad sa ) has not given any command, which, anyone today, could say was unnecessary.
