150 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION absolved from obeying the Messenger, and severs his ties with the Messenger, detaches himself completely from him, and insolently over- steps him; he is disobedient to God and bereft of salvation. 3. Allah the Exalted says: مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوا لِلهِ وَمَلَبِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيْكُلَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُو لِلْكَفِرِينَ 1(Part Number 1, Surah al-Baqarah) (Translation): Meaning that, whosoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His Messengers, and Gabriel and Michael, then surely, Allah Himself is an enemy to such disbelievers. Now it is evident that one who believes in barren Tauhid, but rejects the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is, in fact, the enemy of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Thus, in accordance with the purport of this verse, Allah is his enemy and in His sight, he is a disbeliever. How can he then hope to merit salvation? 4. Allah the Exalted says: b يَايُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَبِ الَّذِى نَزَّلَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَبِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ހ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرُ بِاللهِ وَمَلَكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَلاً بَعِيدًا - 2(Part Number 5, Surah an-Nisa') (Translation): O ye believers, believe in Allah and His Messenger, and in the Book which has been revealed to His Messenger-i. e. the Holy Quran-and in the Book revealed before it; namely, the Torah etc. And whoso disbelieves in Allah and His angels and His Messengers 1.
