Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 262 Exalted has established for attaining the blessings that one can attain them. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to inherit the blessing of God by deviating from them. Allah the Exalted says, 1 ْمُهْنِمَف ٌّيِقَش َّو ٌدْيِعَس ْمُهْنِمَف ٌّيِقَش َّو ٌدْيِعَس that is, people, insofar as their capacities are concerned, are of two kinds. One is that group of people who have the ability to gather the provisions and perform the deeds that can absorb the lights of Divine bounties and blessings. They are called sa‘eed [fortunate]. The others are those whose evil deeds and depraved nature become an obstacle in their progress and make them removed and cut off from virtuous deeds, Divine bounties, and blessings. Behold, even now, a downpour of heavenly support and Signs is transpiring with great force, and a flood of progress is taking place. However, only those can enter it who have some share of good fortune in their souls. Villainous and unfortunate people, despite witnessing thousands of Signs, remain deprived of the blessing and the acceptance of the truth by entertain- ing satanic doubts even about them. This, indeed, is also the will of God that this distinction be maintained till the Day of Judgement—that some become fortunate due to their good fortune and capacity, and some become villainous because of their evil bent of mind. Thus, if it is the will of God Almighty that someone should be kept out of our Community, how can we guide him? 1. Then some of them will prove unfortunate and others fortunate ( S u rah H u d, 11:106). [Publisher]
