Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 18 Advice for Those who are Recipients of Revelation I say these things not just for you but for all. There must be close to fifty or sixty people in our Jama’at who make such claims. Look, the claim that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, made that he was a recipient of revelation, was not without Signs. When the disbelievers demanded evi- dence as proof that his revelation was from God, the following reply was given to them: 1 ْلُق ىٰفَك ِهّٰللاِب اًۢدْيِهَش ْيِنْيَب َو ْمُكَنْيَب َو ْنَم ٗهَدْنِع ُمْلِع ِبٰتِكْلا ْلُق ىٰفَك ِهّٰللاِب اًۢدْيِهَش ْيِنْيَب َو ْمُكَنْيَب َو ْنَم ٗهَدْنِع ُمْلِع ِبٰتِكْلا Meaning that these people say that you are not a Messenger of Allah; tell them that I have two witnesses with me: 1. The first is that of Allah Almighty that His fresh Signs are there in my support, and 2. The second are those people who were given the knowledge of the Book of God, and who can testify that I am truthful [in my claim]. Keep in mind that one name of Allah Almighty is also the Invisible. He is Concealed beyond concealed and Hidden beyond hidden. No one has the right to regard something as a revelation from God Almighty unless the work of God Almighty testifies to it. No effort progresses without corrob- orating evidence. If it were proven with testimony—namely, the Signs of God Almighty—that a revelation is from God Almighty, I would be the first to believe it. One’s mere claims 1. Say, ‘Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you, and so is he who possesses knowledge of the Book’ ( S u rah ar-Ra‘d, 13:44). [Publisher]
