Malfuzat – Volume II — Page 285
285 God is not a Guardian of those who are distanced from His path and who resem- ble cattle. After all, do tell me, do human beings sit and weep over goats when they are slaughtered? Then, why would anyone care for the lives of such people who are even worse than goats? Just observe the lives of animals. They are used for labour and slaughtered. As such, there remains no guarantee for the life of an individual who severs their ties with God Almighty. Hence, Allah the Exalted states: 1 ْ دُعَا ٓٔوُكُم بِكُمْ رَبِّيْ لَوْ لَا يَعْبَؤُا قُلْ مَا Meaning, if you do not supplicate to Allah, my Lord would not care for you. Re- member, Allah Almighty does not care whatsoever for those who worship Him for the world or who do not have a relationship with Him. ” 2 1 al-Furqan , 25:78 2 Al-Hakam , vol. 4, no. 36, dated 10 October 1900, p. 3
