Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 404 Distinction of the Word of God At this point the question arises as to how one is to know that the speech man is hearing is, in reality, the word of God and not that of someone else. So in this regard, one should remem- ber that the word of God has Divine might, omnipotence, and grandeur accompanying it. Just as you can differentiate between the speech of an ordinary man and a king, in the same way the speech of that Best of Judges also has the royal majesty and authority by which one can identify that this speech is in reality that of the God of Glory and Honour and not that of anyone else. Hallmarks of Recipients of Divine Revelation The second mighty Sign of this distinction and differentiation is that the person whom God Almighty addresses, is not hollow either. Rather, Divine majesty is reflected in him as well, and he, too, is the seat of expression and manifestation of Divine attrib- utes to some extent. He has those features. He enjoys a special distinction. He is bestowed the knowledge of heavenly sciences which cannot even be imagined or conceived by people with mundane thoughts. His prayers are accepted, and he is inti- mated about it. Extraordinary help and assistance is lent to his pursuits and just as God has dominance over everyone and no one can triumph against Him, such people also become domi- nant, victorious, and triumphant in the end, and are bestowed the success and fulfilment of their objectives. In short, these are the Signs through which an intelligent person must inevitably acknowledge that this man is accepted in the Court of God and then it must also be conceded that God, indeed, exists.
