Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 62 I do not go outside of this circle. To go away from following the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is absolutely kufr. On account of being veiled [from the truth], people feel uneasy with the word wa hi [revelation]. Otherwise, it is written there [in the Holy Quran] that even the bee received revelation. In fact, Sheikh ‘Abdul-Q a dir [al-Jil a n i ] has written that the fear of an evil end exists for anyone who has never received revelation. Perfect cognition cannot be attained without converse and dialogue [with God]. The Essence of Wa hi Student— How does wa hi [revelation] occur? The Promised Messiah as — There are many ways. Sometimes there develops a reverberation in the heart. There is no sound.

And this is not an isolated incident; if you come and stay with me for some time, you will come to know.
