Malfuzat - Volume IX — Page 498
Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 498 The same is the case with the other Prophets, peace be upon them. There never was this kind of objection regarding them, nor was a need felt to clear it. It is regretful that these schol- ars have no knowledge as to why these things have been men- tioned in the Quran and Hadith. They do not know that such statements are given to counter an allegation. It is written in the Holy Quran that an egregious allegation was made against Mary as the Truthful. That is why God Almighty named her ‘the Truthful’. It is regretful that neither the leaders of these people under- stand it nor do their followers give it a thought that through such beliefs they blemish the Messenger of God, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. If there was no mention in the Holy Quran of the servants of God being pure from Satan’s influence, even then the love and greatness of the Noble Messenger, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, should have demanded that such a misguided belief not be entertained about him. Regarding Mary as , the following sup- plication was made: 1 ْۤيِّنِا اَهُذْيِعُا َكِب َواَهَتَّيِّرُذ َنِم ِنٰطْيَّشلا ِمْيِجَّرلا ْۤيِّنِا اَهُذْيِعُا َكِب َواَهَتَّيِّرُذ َنِم ِنٰطْيَّشلا ِمْيِجَّرلا This supplication was also mentioned to refute the same objection, otherwise it is predetermined by Allah the Exalted regarding Prophets and saints that they will be made sacred Messengers. The same Divine determination renders their birth and all matters sacred from the beginning. The Prophets, peace be upon them, are pure since their birth, and are distanced from Satan. A birth is of two kinds in the world, the first is heavenly, 1. I commit her and her offspring to Thy protection from Satan, the rejected ( S u rah A l-e-‘Imr a n, 3:37). [Publisher]
