Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 42 Refutation of the Aryas Some people deny that it is God who is the Creator of all the worlds. They assert that jiyo —that is, ‘souls’—and purmano — that is, ‘particles’—exist on their own. As Parmeshwar has existed on His own, so have they existed on their own. And the souls with their total powers, qualities, and characteristics—on which tomes have been written—have existed on their own. And despite the fact that they have the innate ability to unite and to dissociate, they are yet in need of a Parmeshwar for their mutual interaction. This is the sect to whom God Almighty has pointed by saying َ ْن ی ِ الْعٰلَم ُّ رَب َ ْن ی ِ الْعٰلَم ُّ رَب [ Rabbul-alamin —Lord of all the worlds]. Refutation of the Doctrines of Sanatan Dharam The second sect which is alluded to in the word of ْ حْـمٰن َّ اَلر ْ حْـمٰن َّ اَلر [ ar-Rahman ] is that of Sanatan Dharam. Though they believe that everything has come forth from Parmeshwar, they assert that there is no such thing as the graciousness of God. He merely recompenses deeds, even to the extent that one has been made a man—it is on account of one’s own deeds; and one has been made a woman—it is on account of one’s own deeds; and all other essentials like animals and plants etc. that have also come into existence—it is due to their respective deeds. In short, these people deny the attribute ْ رَحْمٰن [ Rahman ] of God Almighty. The God who created the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, etc. , and created air so we can breathe and hear each other’s voices, and created the sun and the moon etc. for light, and created them when there was still no trace or sign of the ones who breathe—can anyone say that all this was created
