Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 270 The Door to Revelation is Open The Promised Messiah as said: As our scholars believe that the door of ilh a m [Divine revela- tion and inspiration] has now been closed, a cognisant seeker [of truth] would die a living death if this were true. God is not miserly. He Himself has taught the prayer which manifests that the door to these favours is open: 1 َطاَرِص َنْيِذَّلا َتْمَعْنَا ْمِهْيَلَع َطاَرِص َنْيِذَّلا َتْمَعْنَا ْمِهْيَلَع Sadly, Maulaw i ‘Abdullah Ghaznavi also believed that he did not know whether the revelation he received was satanic or Divine. I wonder what happens to these people in light of this belief when they get such a revelation. If they act on it, they may be following Satan’s command, but if they do not, there is the possibility that they displease God. The same is the case with the revelations of Ilahi Bakhsh, the Accountant. In comparison to these people, the mother of Moses fared far better; she put her child in the river based on her firm faith in the word of God. 2 (Evening gathering ) The darkness of the evening did not permit me to write things down, so I have written this incident in my own words with the help of 1. The path of those on whom You have bestowed Your blessings ( S u rah al-F a ti h ah, 1:7). [Publisher] 2. Badr, vol. 1, no. 18, p. 2, dated 3 August 1905
