Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 132 If you ponder, you will come to realize why this is the great- est sin. All sins come into being as a result of disobeying the commandments of God Almighty. And the commandments of God become manifest in the world through those appointed by God. Thus, when the one who brings these commandments is not accepted, it is as if no commandment of Allah is accepted, because when the one who was to make clear the will and pleas- ure of Allah is rejected, how will the ways of gaining the pleas- ure of Allah become known? This is indeed the reason why the Jews were called apes and swine despite believing in God and offering Prayer and fasting. The Means of Attaining Union with Allah This person submitted, ‘Your Holiness I have believed. ’ The Promised Messiah as said: Then [know that] seeking forgiveness and repentance is the way to achieving union with Allah. Allah the Almighty says: 1 َو َنْيِذَّلا اْوُدَهاَج اَنْيِف ْمُهَّنَيِدْهَنَل اَنَلُبُس َو َنْيِذَّلا اْوُدَهاَج اَنْيِف ْمُهَّنَيِدْهَنَل اَنَلُبُس Continue to make full effort in the way of Allah and you will reach to the desired destination. Allah the Exalted harbours miserliness towards no one. It was, after all, from among these very Muslims that some came to be great saintly people who are 1. And as for those who strive in Our path—We will surely guide them in Our ways ( S u rah al-‘Ankab u t, 29:70). [Publisher]
