Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 488 The Divine Truth of Qiy a mah The Jew— Muslims believe in Qiy a mah [the Resurrection]. What are the signs that lead them to believe in it? The Promised Messiah— Man’s own body compels him to believe in h ashr nashr [resurrection and raising the dead to a new life] because it is undergoing h ashr nashr at every moment to the extent that in three years, this body no longer remains and is replaced by a new one. This is Qiy a mah. Aside from this, it is not necessary for one to comprehend every [Islamic] tenet through reason alone. Rather, man is obligated to believe that Allah Almighty exists with His actions and attributes, and among His attributes are: 1 ُ َء ُقُلْخَي اَم َيََشَٓا ُ َء ُقُلْخَي اَم َيََشَٓا and 2 ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْيِدَق ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْيِدَق. Then what doubt can there be in believing that Qiy a mah will take place, particu- larly in the case that we have and observe its proof even in this life? Without a doubt, Qiy a mah is true and a paradigm of His powers. 3 ْمَلَا ْمَلْعَت َّنَا َهّٰللا ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْيِدَق ْمَلَا ْمَلْعَت َّنَا َهّٰللا ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْيِدَق It is clearly understood from the above verse that He is even capable of h ashr nashr and h ashr nashr is absolutely depend- ent upon Divine power. These are the distinctions of Islam that Islam does not provide mere teaching alone, but when man puts this teaching into practice, Almighty Allah shows him His Signs and miracles as well. Accordingly, when he purifies 1. He creates what He pleases ( S u rah A l-e-‘Imr a n, 3:48). [Publisher] 2. [Dost thou not know that] Allah has the power to do all that He wills?
