119 Specimen of Writing No part of my doctrine is contrary to the commandments of All a h and His Messenger. If anyone thinks so, it must be due to his misunderstanding. Anyone who still considers me a kafir, and does not desist from calling me one, should remember that he will be called to account for it after his death. I call God, the Glorious, to witness that I have such firm faith in God and His Messenger that if the faith of all the people of this age were placed on one side of the scale and my faith is placed on the other side, then, by Allah's grace, my faith would prove to be the heavier. ( Karamatu s - Sa diq i n , p. 25, R uha n i Khaz a’ in , vol. 7, p. 67) Impact The beauty and high literary merit of the qa si dahs written in honour and praise of the Holy Prophet sa was such that it created a deep impression on the Arabs. A young Arab was so much moved by the excellence of these qa si dahs that he composed a poem in Arabic praising Kar amatu s -Sa diq i n and its highly ornate Arabic language.
