11 Malfuzat – Volume IV 1 ٌ ُم ْ ُل ِِع ٖ ٗه ِ َب َََك ْل ََْيَْس ْل َتَْقُْفُ َمَا َا ْل And follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Such people understand that followers of the Wujudi sect have overstepped the bounds of respect. They have written numerous books, but I would like to ask whether any Wujudi can show that God is within them or even if they have any conception of God? If God existed within them, is the human frailty and weak - ness with which they are struck every other day consistent with the attributes of God Almighty? Even if a person’s wife or child falls ill, they are powerless and feel themselves at a loss to do anything. However, if God Almighty wills, He can grant them health, whereas this matter is not within the control of a Wujudi. At times, financial hardship and poverty afflicts a man, and at other times, sin, vice and transgression make a person averse and indisposed to Faith; so, does God Almighty also suffer from these sorts of conditions? If God exists, all of His works ought to emanate from His command as indicated in the words: ُ َن َُْكُْو ْي ََف ْ ُن ُكُ He says ‘Be!’ and it is. However, the powerless and dependent Wujudi stumbles at every step. How piti - ful the state of a Wujudi, who claims they have become God, yet all the while they remain powerless. Even more astonishing is the fact that this ‘divinity’ cannot save them from hell, for God Almighty states: 2 َٗرَٗه َـ ُي ًا َر ٍََةٍ َش ُر َ ْذ َلَ َا ْق ِْثْـ َم َْْمَْل ُع َ ُي ْ ُن َمَ And whoso does an atom’s weight of evil will also see it. So, when someone commits a sin and is thrown into hell to bear the consequenc - es of their actions, all of their ‘divinity’ is reduced to nothing. Even the Wujudis believe in this verse of the Holy Quran: 3 ِِْيِْر ُع َ ْلْس ا ِي َفـ ٌقٌ ْـ ُي ِ َر ََِةِ َوَ َف ْن ْلَْجَ ا ِي َفـ ٌقٌ ْـ ُي ِ َر َفَ A party will be in the Garden, and a party in the blazing Fire. Therefore, when human beings can never escape their human characteristics, what need is there for such useless claims, which have no substance in reality 1 Bani Isra’il, 17:37 2 az-Zilzal, 99:9 3 ash-Shura , 42:8
