But it refers to the converse with God, which is frequent and contains knowledge of the unseen, nothing more. Everyone has a right to adopt an idiom, and this is the definition adopted by God that He has given the title of nubuwwah to the frequent converse with Him. 159 Again, he writes: By nubuwwah I only mean frequency of converse with God, which is granted as a consequence of following the Holy Prophet sa. You also believe in converse with God; so the disagreement is on the terminology only. What you call converse with God, I call its frequency as nubuwwah in accordance with the commandment of God. 160 158 Letter of the Promised Messiah as , dated August 17, 1899, in Al-Hakm , Volume 3, Page 29 159 Chashmae Ma‘arifat , R ū h ā n ī Khaz ā ’in, Volume 23, Page 341 160 Haq ī qatul Wah ī , R ū h ā n ī Khaz ā ’in, Volume 22, Page 503
