FINAL ADMONITIONS Hadrat Maulw i Nur-ud-D i n ra — Khalifatul Masih I 236 What is your duty to Allah? It is that you should adhere to true doctrines, your conduct should conform to them and you should be righteous. Righteousness safeguards one against suffering and bestows comfort. A righteous one is delivered from all constraints. He is loved by God and is provided for in a manner of which he has no conception. His prayers are accepted and he is bestowed triumph over his enemies who are ruined. The gates of the knowledge of the Divine are opened for a righteous one. Therefore, my first admonition is: Be righteous, be righteous, be righteous for the sake of Allah. Be truly obedient to Allah, and may your end be in a state of obedience to Him. Such obedience is a wonderful bounty. Abraham as , the great Patriarch, was accounted worthy of all blessings because of such obedience, as is said: When his Lord commanded him: Do thou submit thyself to Me; he responded: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds (2:132). Therefore, if you too wish to be favoured with heavenly blessings, be righteous. Real righteousness sprouts in a true Muslim; therefore be Muslims, and let death find you Muslims. Then combine all together, and with your combined strength take fast hold of the rope of Allah, and be not divided. I recite the verse to you once more: Take fast hold, all together, of the rope of Allah, and be not divided. So keep fast hold of the rope of Allah, all together, and do not let go of it. In Islam the rope of Allah is the Holy Quran. The Aryas, Brahmans, Sanatanists, Christians, atheists and pagans are all pulling at this rope with all their strength
