152 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION the Holy Prophet, who is the fountainhead of Tauhid. [The curse of God be on the liars. ] 7. Allah the Exalted says: ¹(Part Number 5, Surah an-Nisa') & (Translation): We have sent every Prophet so that he should be obeyed by the command of Allah. It is obvious that, in keeping with the purport of this verse, it is obligatory to obey the Prophet. Hence, how can a person, who is not obedient to the Prophets, attain salvation? 8. Allah the Exalted says: قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ، قُلْ أَطِيعُوا 2(Part Number 3, Surah Al-e-Imran)—VbJs of Jug (Translation): Say to them, 'If you love Allah, then come follow me so that Allah may love you too and forgive your sins. And Allah is Most Forgiving and Merciful. ' Say to them, ‘Obey Allah and His Messenger', but if they turn away from obedience, then [remember that] Allah does not befriend disbelievers. It is patently clear from these verses that forgiveness of sins and love of God Almighty are dependent upon the belief in the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and those who do not believe in him are disbelievers. 1.
