Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 22 He said, "Never try to be God or prophet. " I said that I could not understand the advice, and there were so many leading divines and dignitaries, who also, probably, did not comprehend, and all of them said that they did not understand it. Then Maulavi Sahib clarified, "Whom do you call God?" Maulana Sahib said, "God is a quality of action. Whatever He wants, He does it. " Maulavi Sahib said, "This is what I mean. If you have a wish and that wish is not fulfilled, tell yourself that you are not God. In the same way, the becoming of a prophet means that the prophet has the Divine authority, and he believes that whoever disobeys him, will go to hell, and then he feels sorry for them. But, if somebody does not obey your decree, then it is not necessary that he will go to hell and, therefore, you need not be sorry for them. " This fine elaboration by Maulavi Sahib provided me a great deal of solace and satisfaction.
