202 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِايَتِهِ. Meaning that, there are only two kinds of arch-disbeliever, one who forges lies against God,2* and the other who denies the Word of God. In the opinion of one who rejects me I have forged lies about God; and, if so, I become not only a disbeliever but an arch-disbeliever. But if I am not an impostor, then, without any doubt, his disbelief shall recoil upon him as promised in this verse by God Almighty Himself. Besides this, the one who does not accept me does not accept God and His Messenger either, because the prophecy of God and His Messenger about me is on record. That is, the Prophet of God, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had prophesied that the Promised Messiah shall come from amongst his ummah in the Latter Days. The Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also said that on the night of mi'rāj [ascension] he saw Masīḥ Ibn-e-Maryam among those Prophets who had passed away from this world and that he saw him in the Second Heaven with Yaḥyā the mar- tyr [John the Baptist]. Furthermore, God Almighty has stated in the Holy Quran that the Masih Ibn-e-Maryam had died. And, to bear witness to my truth, God manifested more than 300,000 heavenly Signs and the solar and lunar eclipses took place in the heavens in the month of Ramadan. Then how can such a person be a believer who does not believe what God and His Messenger say, who repudiates the Holy Quran, who deliberately rejects the Signs of God Almighty, and declares me an impostor despite hundreds of Signs? And if he is 1. Who is, then, more unjust than he who forges a lies against Allah or gives the lie to His Signs? (Surah al-A'raf, 7:38) [Publisher] 2. The term 'unjust' here means a disbeliever. The context is that like the im- postor, one who rejects the Book of God is termed unjust. Without doubt, one who rejects the Word of God is a disbeliever. As such one who does not accept me declares that I am a disbeliever by considering me an impostor. Therefore he himself becomes a disbeliever on account of rejecting me. (Author)
