POSTSCRIPT—RESPONSE TO SOME CRITICS' OBJECTIONS حرام است بر غیر ہوئے بہشت برد مهر آں شاہ سوئے بہشت Love for that sovereign Propheta takes one towards Paradise, The fragrance of which is denied to those who are estranged from him. 15. Allah the Exalted says: الم يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ يُحَادِدِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَاَنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيهَا ۖ ذَلِكَ الْخِزْى 157 ¹(Part Number 10, Surah at-Taubah)— Translation: Are they not aware that the one who opposes Allah and the Messenger shall be cast by God into Hell wherein he shall abide forever? This is a great humiliation. Now let Mr. Abdul-Hakim state his opinion. Will he submit to this verdict of God, or will he be audacious enough to confront the warning contained in these verses? 16. Allah the Exalted says: وَإِذْ اَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّنَ لَمَا اتَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ كِتَبِ وَ حِكَمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولُ مُّصَدِّقُ لِمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِ وَلَتَنْصُرُنَّهُ قَالَ ءَ اَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكُمْ اِصْرِى قَالُوا أَقْرَرْنَا قَالَ فَاشْهَدُوا وَ أَنَا ² (Part Number 3, [Rukū'] 17, [Sūrah Āl-e-Imrān])—Que s Translation: And remember the time when God took a covenant from all the Messengers: 'When I shall give you the Book and Wisdom and then, in the Latter Days, shall come My Messenger who will testify to the truth of your Books, you will have to believe in him and will have to help him. Then He asked, 'Have you agreed and become firm on this cove- nant?” They said, ‘We have agreed. ' At this, Allah said, 'Now be witness to this covenant of yours and along with you, I too am a witness over it. ” 1. Surah at-Taubah, 9:63 [Publisher] 2. Surah Al-e-Imran, 3:82 [Publisher]
