Malfuzat - Volume VII — Page 436
Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 436 could be stronger [evidence] than the whole of Arabia becom- ing Muslim in his very lifetime! This attraction and allure which is conferred upon Appointees draws ready and willing souls towards it, but it gives those who share no lot in it the opportunity to fester in hostility. ت �یس� خ � الخف ش � ِ ط�بع ابراں ہک در اطلتف در ابغ الہل رو�ی� د و در وشرہ وبم و سخ [Rain–in whose pure nature lies no incompatibility— Brings forth flowers to bloom in the garden, but only grass and dull vegetation in barren land. ] In the same way, Prophets, peace be on them, have the distinc- tive feature that believers and disbelievers are perfected in their disbelief and belief through them. It is written that Ab u Jahl’s disbelief would not have been complete had the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, not come. At first, his disbelief was hidden, but it was exposed upon the advent of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Similarly, the truthfulness of Hadrat Ab u Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, was also hidden, but became manifest when the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, invited all to a spiritual feast. One accepted the invitation and the other refused. For such people, Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: 1 ْيِف ْمِهِبْوُلُق ٌضَرَّم١ۙ ُمُهَداَزَف ُهّٰللا اًضَرَم ْيِف ْمِهِبْوُلُق ٌضَرَّم١ۙ ُمُهَداَزَف ُهّٰللا اًضَرَم Prophets and Messengers come and expose the wickedness and wretchedness that exists within them. The Holy Quran has compared the advent of Prophets and Messengers with rain. 1. In their hearts was a disease, and Allah has increased their disease to them ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:11). [Publisher]
