So Said The Promised Messiah (as) — Page 6
Trials, it must be remembered, are bound to come, as the following verse points out : A-hasibannaso anyatrakoo anyaqooloo aamanna wa hum la-yuftanoon Do the people think that they will be left off because they say that they have believed. The Commentators say that descending of the angels refers to the time of death but they are very much mistaken in this view of theirs. It actually means that those who purify their hearts and keep themselves away from the dirt that is a barrier between man and God, get closer to the spirit of revelation and begin to receive the Word of God. At another place it is said about the Muttaqi: Ala inna auliya-Allahi la khaufun alaihim wa la hum yahzanoon That is, those who are the friends of God have nothing to worry about. He whose Guardian is God has no hardship to face: nobody who confronts them can harm them. Again God says: Wa abshiroo bil-Jannatillatee Kuntum too-a-doon Be happy. for the Paradise that has been promised to you. (Malfoozat Vol. 1, p. 14) 6
