41 God Almighty, discarding the world along with its luxuries, 1 is truly one who has attained salvation. Then Allah says: O5PN 2 One who adulterates their soul and inclines to the earth, is reduced to dust. This single phrase is a summary of all the teachings of the Holy Quran and it expounds the manner in which a person can reach God Almighty.

This is the essence of faith. One ought to renounce all forms of evil and only then does a person find God. ( Badr, Volume 2, No. 6, dated 9 February 1906, p. 3) 2 as-Shams, 91:11 [Publisher]
