Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 432 Allah Himself is with him and He alone helps and supports him. He puts his trust in Almighty Allah and knows that God Himself will make His servants join him. This is the secret why the Prophets, peace be on them, prefer seclusion. And I affirm with certainty and from my own experience that they never ever enjoy publicity, but Allah the Almighty compels them, and seizing hold of them, brings them out into the open. The Contentment in Solitude of Appointees & Messengers Look at Moses, peace be on him, when Almighty Allah wanted to appoint him and gave him the good news of being sent to Pharaoh for guidance and preaching, he started pleading that he had killed one of their people and that his brother might be sent instead. What was that about? It was a kind of contented solitude and detachment and his preference for a life of isola- tion from worldly people. This very contentment in solitude happens to every Appointee and Messenger, and he prefers this life of seclusion very much. And this indeed is the sign of their sincerity. That is why Almighty Allah selects them for Himself, because looking upon their heart He sees very well that it holds absolutely no inclination towards anyone else. And they consider the pleas- ure of and compliance with the command of Almighty Allah as the real means of their life and existence. آں سک ہک رتا انشتخ اہجں را ہچ دنک رفزدن و ع�ی�ال و اخامنں را ہچ دنک What should the person who recognises You do with his life, Progeny, family, and relatives?
