Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 394 Messenger of God, and a denier of the Holy Quran and of its teachings, and one who abrogates them—that he is a transgres- sor, a sinner, and an apostate. But I have not made any changes in the Quran, or altered even a dot or an iota of the current Shariah brought by the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as. Quite to the contrary, I am dedicated to the service of the Quran and the Quranic commandments and the pure religion of the Holy Prophet s as , and have devoted my entire life to this path. Moreover, I firmly believe that salvation is not at all possi- ble without the Holy Quran—which is the perfect, complete, and comprehensive Book—and without its perfect obedience, and without following the Holy Prophet s as. I believe that any- one who adds or subtracts anything from the Quran or refuses the yolk of obedience of the Holy Prophet s as , is an infidel and an apostate. So this being the case, and in spite of the manifes- tation of thousands of Signs in the heavens and the earth from God in support of my truthfulness, if a person still calls me a kazib [liar], a muftari [fabricator], and a dajjal [deceiver], or does not show deference to me and does not lend an ear to my call, he should know for certain that God will never ever leave him without calling him to account for it. The ship of Islam is about to sink. This age is bearing wit- ness, and the time is proclaiming the need for help again and again. The internal state [of Muslims] is so precarious that no heart can feel reassured and content. The external onslaughts are so lethal that they are threatening to uproot Islam from its very foundations. Hence, hasn’t the time yet come for God to appoint someone for the help of Islam, and to send some Reformer who could remedy the sinking ship of Islam? The head of the century has also passed, but all the prom- ises turned out to be false? So, you tell me whether the time has still not come for God to attend to the welfare of Islam, or is there going to be a more critical and precarious situation?
