Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 122 1 ْنِا ُكَّي اًبِذاَك ِهْيَلَعَف ٗهُبِذَك َو ْنِا ُكَّي اًقِداَص ْمُكْبِصُّي ُضْعَب ْيِذَّلا ْمُكُدِعَي ْنِا ُكَّي اًبِذاَك ِهْيَلَعَف ٗهُبِذَك َو ْنِا ُكَّي اًقِداَص ْمُكْبِصُّي ُضْعَب ْيِذَّلا ْمُكُدِعَي Since the creation of the world, it has never been the case that God Almighty gave defeat to the truthful by supporting the liar. During the time of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, there were claimants of ilh a m against him, and they considered him a liar. Musailmah al-Kadhdh a b [the Great Liar] was also among them. Had the verdict been based on the ‘word’, doubts would have remained, but in the end, the act of God settled the issue. Look whose religion is being trumpeted now. Whose name is bright? The one who is from God is granted blessings; he grows, thrives, flourishes, and gains victory upon victory over his enemies, but that which is not of God is like foam which perishes very quickly. No one can deceive God. The one who relies on taqw a [righteousness] and has a pure relationship with God will be helped. It is not just with me that other mulham [claimants to revelation] call me a liar at this time. Rather, even in the time of Jesus, peace be on him, and Moses, peace be on him, there were people who were mulham [claimants to revelation] and rejected these Prophets, so the sages of that time gave the ver- dict that the work of the one who is truthful will be blessed. So now, there is no other decision except that if there is distor- tion in the word, then look at the action, but I say again that requesting me to show the action is in vain. I am a humble serv- ant; it is the work of God to show whatever action He desires. What am I? The Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave this very reply: 1. If he be a liar, on him will be the sin of his lie; but if he is truthful, then some of that which he threatens you with will surely befall you ( S u rah al-Mu’min, 40:29). [Publisher]
