The Honour of Prophets — Page 42
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 42 ْ حَبَّبَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْاِيْمَانَ وَ زَيَّنَهٗ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُم 19 َ وَ كَرَّهَ اِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوْقَ وَ الْعِصْيَان Allah has endeared every good to you by making the holy spirit descend upon you, and He has rendered disbelief, transgression and disobedience hateful to you. However, at this instance, a question may arise as to the nature of the light that is bestowed upon one who follows the Prophet, peace be upon him, and which subdues the passion of sin. The answer to this question is: It is a pure understanding untainted by the darkness of doubt and scepticism; it is a pure love unalloyed by any selfish motive; it is a pure delight which exceeds all pleasures, free from all impurity; it is a powerful allure that cannot be overcome by any other attraction; it is a potent antidote which rids all inner poisons. These are the five things which descend in the form of light upon the heart of a sincere follower as a light along with the Holy Spirit. Hence, such a heart not only abstains from sin, but instinctively begins to loathe it. To individually outline the powers of these five things requires a great length of detail. However, it should suffice to expound at some length the qualities of pure understanding, to grasp the underlying reality of how it wards off sin. It is obvious that humans and even animals shrink 19 al-Hujurat, 49:8
