UNDATED 359 between the parties which, if disclosed, the other would not have accepted the terms of the agreement. It is not essential that every agreement must be fulfilled, rather some agreements are so unlawful that it is necessary to break them; otherwise a great harm is caused to one’s faith. Perfect Purification of the Soul The Promised Messiah as said: Only a few people achieve perfect purification of the soul. The majority of people who are virtuous have some shortcoming within them due to weaknesses and their faith is tinged with a part of the world. If a person is pure in all their affairs and has complete purification of the soul in all their dealings, he becomes a Qu t b and Ghauth. The Promised Messiah as mentioned a renowned maulaw i and said: He used to issue a monthly magazine. I inquired from him once whether his service for the magazine was purely for the sake of Allah or was it marred with the world too. In those days, the condition of his heart was somewhat better. He honestly said that his service was not purely for Allah’s sake, rather it was marred with materialism as well. If a person carries out an act purely for the sake of God, it elevates him to the heavens instantly.
