Footnote from page 10 247 َو اَم ٌدَّمَحُم اَّلِا ٌلْوُسَر١ۚ ْدَق ْتَلَخ ْنِم ِهِلْبَق ُلُسُّرلا١ؕ ْنِٕىۡاَفَا َتاَّم ْوَا َلِتُق ْمُتْبَلَقْنا ىٰۤلَع ْمُكِباَقْعَا١ؕ َو اَم ٌدَّمَحُم اَّلِا ٌلْوُسَر١ۚ ْدَق ْتَلَخ ْنِم ِهِلْبَق ُلُسُّرلا١ؕ ْنِٕىۡاَفَا َتاَّم ْوَا َلِتُق ْمُتْبَلَقْنا ىٰۤلَع ْمُكِباَقْعَا١ؕ 1 َو ْنَم ْبِلَقْنَّي ىٰلَع ِهْيَبِقَع ْنَلَف َّرُضَّي َهّٰللا أًـْيَش١ؕ َو يِزْجَيَس ُهّٰللا َنْيِرِكّٰشلا۰۰ َو ْنَم ْبِلَقْنَّي ىٰلَع ِهْيَبِقَع ْنَلَف َّرُضَّي َهّٰللا أًـْيَش١ؕ َو يِزْجَيَس ُهّٰللا َنْيِرِكّٰشلا۰۰ Therefore, whoever worshipped Muhammad should know that Muhammad has died. But he who worshipped Allah alone, who has no partner, Allah continues to watch over him. He is Living, Self-Subsisting, and shall never die. Slumber seizes Him not, nor does He sleep. He guards His purpose and takes revenge on His enemy and punishes him. I counsel you to fear Allah, to pay your dues to Him, to be mindful of that which was brought by your Prophet s as , to let yourselves be guided by his guidance, and to hold fast to the religion of Allah. For, indeed, whoever Allah has not guided is astray, and whoever He has not made safe is afflicted, and whoever He has not helped is forsaken. Thus, whomsoever Allah guides is rightly guided, and whomsoever Allah allows to go astray is lost. Allah has said: 2 ْنَم ِدْهَّي ُهّٰللا َوُهَف ِدَتْهُمْلا١ۚ َو ْنَم ْلِلْضُّي ْنَلَف َدِجَت ٗهَل اًّيِلَو اًدِشْرُّم۰۰ ْنَم ِدْهَّي ُهّٰللا َوُهَف ِدَتْهُمْلا١ۚ َو ْنَم ْلِلْضُّي ْنَلَف َدِجَت ٗهَل اًّيِلَو اًدِشْرُّم۰۰ Nor will any deed of his in this world be accepted until he acknowledges Him. Neither repentance nor ransom will be accepted from him on the Day of Judgement. I have learned that some of you, endeavouring to deceive Allah and being heedless towards Him and listening to the words of Satan, 1. And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah at all. And Allah will certainly reward the grateful ( S u rah A l ‘Imr a n, 3:145). [Publisher] 2. He whom Allah guides is rightly guided; but he whom He adjudges astray, for him you will find no helper or guide ( S u rah al-Kahf, 18:18). [Publisher]
