100 And you threw not when you did throw, but it was Allah who threw. ( Sūrah al-Anf a l, v. 18) And: َّنِا َنْيِذَّلا َكَنْوُعِياَبُي اَمَّنِا َنْوُعِياَبُي َهّٰللا ُدَي ِهّٰللا َقْوَف ْمِهْيِدْيَا Verily those who swear allegiance to you indeed swear allegiance to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands. ( Sūrah al-Fat h , 48:11) These verses describe the being of the Holy Prophet as God and his hand as the hand of God. Maulaw i Sahib! Following the example you set, one could declare Hadrat ‘Abdullah to be the father of God and Hadrat A mina the mother of God. What opinion would you form about a person making such declarations? Would you not think of him as shameless, impudent and contemptible? Please come to your senses. Use your intelligence. We have reminded you repeatedly that the most ignorant person is the one who, in his ardour to slay his enemies, ends up killing his loved ones. Maul a n a ! We have fully explained to you that when God allows His devotees to become a means for the manifestation of His Majesty, they are immersed in the attributes of God. so that the world can witness the Signs of God Almighty through them. You unfortunately are totally incognizant of this path. No wonder that you stumble again and again. Is it clear!
