22 A sm a n i Fai s lah Before I proceed to describe , it is important to clarify that those who are true believers in the sight of God and whom He has chosen especially for Himself, cleansed them with His own Hand, given them a place among His chosen ones and concerning whom He has said: 18 Such people must possess the signs of prostration and servitude because there is no error in Divine promises, nor are they self-contradictory. For this reason, it is a requirement of faith that believers should possess all the signs which are attributed to them by the Holy Quran and which are the touchstone and the perfect criteria for distinguishing between the believer and the one who has been dubbed as a kafir, a slanderer, a Dajj a l and an atheist by the clerics of his nation. So, if someone calls his Muslim brother a kafir and is not convinced by the fact that this person professes faith and believes in the sacred Kalimah : 19 Show us a luminous sign of Your power; All power belongs to You, O Lord of all creations. Love of the Truth is becoming extinct; Show a sign, O Lord, so that the dispute is resolved. [Translator] 18 There mark is upon their faces, being the traces of prostrations. (The Holy Quran, Al-Fat h 48:30) [Publisher] 19 There is none worthy of worship, except Allah; Muhammad sa is the Messenger of Allah. [Translator]
