Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 306 unquestionable transformation takes place in the person. It is not trustworthiness to criticize because of a few exceptions. In fact, the Holy Quran has forbidden fault-findings: 1 َكِلٰذَك ْمُتْنُك ْنِّم ُلْبَق َّنَمَف ُهّٰللا ْمُكْيَلَع َكِلٰذَك ْمُتْنُك ْنِّم ُلْبَق َّنَمَف ُهّٰللا ْمُكْيَلَع Meaning that, ‘ You also were like this before, but Allah con- ferred His special favour on you. ’ If one observes carefully, it will be seen that the progress and change that is found in my Jama’at is not found in anyone else in the world at this time. Look, what a storm of apostasy was let loose at the demise of the Holy Prophet s as that, with the exception of a few places, even Prayer in congregation was not held anywhere. The critic harbours some perverse animosity and malice. He has been unjust and has made an attack need- lessly; for otherwise, the transformation in these people leaves one wonderstruck. The critic, of course, does not have knowl- edge of the unseen so as to know the good or bad thoughts in the hearts of others. It is often the case that one makes a change internally and establishes a bond of special sincerity and love with God Almighty that remains hidden from the sight of others. 2 1.
