Thus, practical testimony is needed with ilh a m [revelation]. Look! When the Government provides employment to someone, it also furnishes the instruments needed to reflect his authority. Hence, those that confront them, they are arrested for contempt of the court. Similarly, the ones who contend with the elect of God are destroyed. These days there are approximately fifty people who are afflicted with this dis- ease; that is, they depend upon their verbal ilh a m. They are all mistaken. Satan is man’s arch-enemy but a fabricator is a Satan himself; therefore, he is his own enemy, and he, therefore, per- ishes quickly. How imprudent are those who get caught in the deceptive snare of such people. To accept a person who does not possess the splendour of Divine grandeur and glory with his claim, is to throw oneself into fire. The Essential Truth of ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْیِدَق ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْیِدَق [Allah has the Power to do All that He wills] There was mention of two adversaries that they were issuing edicts of kufr [disbelief ] against each other regarding this issue. One says that it is incumbent that the Prophets enter Paradise and the disobedient go to Hell. The other says that on the basis of: 2 ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْیِدَق َهّٰللا ْمَلَا ْمَلْعَت َّنَا ىٰلَع ِّلُك ٍءْيَش ٌرْیِدَق َهّٰللا ْمَلَا ْمَلْعَت َّنَا 1. Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you ( S u rah ar-Ra‘d, 13:44). [Publisher] 2. Dost thou not know that Allah has the power to do all that He wills? ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:107) [Publisher]
