Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 438 1 ًةَرْسَحٰي ىَلَع ِداَبِعْلا١ۣۚ اَم ْمِهْيِتْاَي ْنِّم ٍلْوُسَّر اَّلِا اْوُناَك ٖهِب َنْوُءِزْهَتْسَي۠ ًةَرْسَحٰي ىَلَع ِداَبِعْلا١ۣۚ اَم ْمِهْيِتْاَي ْنِّم ٍلْوُسَّر اَّلِا اْوُناَك ٖهِب َنْوُءِزْهَتْسَي۠ There has never come any true Prophet who was honoured right from the beginning. How could I be an exception to the [established] practice of Allah? The issue was quite simple and the affair was rather clear, but those mischievous connivers had obscured it. Is it true that I insult the Prophets? I have been sent to spread the message of Allah and I am doing it. Look at my books. Allah Almighty knows better how every single parti- cle of my being is sacrificed in devotion to the cause of God Almighty. Truth about the Claim to Prophethood As for the issue that I have claimed prophethood, it is a dispute over semantics. Even they themselves acknowledge spoken dia- logue [with Allah]. Allah Almighty has called this very com- munication ‘prophethood’. Otherwise, I have made it clear time and time again that I have never ever claimed tashri’i-nubuwwat [law-bearing prophethood]. I declare any claimant to a prophet- hood which deviates from the Quran and rebels against the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to be wajibul-qatl [worthy of death] and accursed. I consider the one who claims the type of prophethood that would supersede the prophethood of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as accursed and wajibul-qatl. Whatever bounty of God Almighty is [bestowed] upon me, is purely through the blessings of the most merciful 1. Alas for mankind! there comes not a Messenger to them but they mock at him ( S u rah Y a S i n, 36:31). [Publisher]
