318 The Book Under the special directions of the Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V aba concerted efforts were made to locate, if any, of the writings of the Promised Messiah as left out and not included in the set of R uha n i Khaz a’ in that has been compiled by Hadrat Maul a n a Jalal-ud-Din Shams ra. These efforts bore fruit, and hence this book is added to R uha n i Khaz a’ in, edtion of 2009. This contribution of the Promised Messiah as was found in the very first volume of Review of Religions Urdu edition of January 1902. This contribution on a very important subject of “How to get rid of the bondage of sin?” is spread over 23 pages of the Review of Religions. It became necessary as the Christian missionaries were misleading simple Muslims with their own philosophy of salvation and attributing it to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ who they claim went to the cross to deliver the mankind into salvation. Specimen of writing The question, naturally arises now, whether there is any true remedy for freedom from bondage of sin, if atonement is not, I do not assert it forcibly but offer it as my own experience and as a well tried remedy that there exists ,and has existed from the creation of man down to this day, one and one sure method of being released from the slavery of sin and the disobedience of God. Nothing can be a proof against sin, except a perfect knowledge of God attained through sure and conclusive arguments and brilliant signs of His existence. It is not simply to believe that there is a God but to know God and see God. It is through such a knowledge of God that man clearly sees the wrath of God is a devouring fire, and a manifestation of the beauties of God sets the soul at rest and makes it evident that true bliss and eternal felicity consists in a constant and reverent adoration of God.
