I now wish to give some elaboration upon the fruits of Islam. ¹ So let it be clear that when a true seeker of his Lord becomes perfectly estab- lished upon Islam and devotes all his powers to this endeavour-not with any contrivance or artificiality, but with a natural inclination— then the ultimate result of this condition is that the highest manifesta- tions of the guidance of God Almighty, free from all veils, turn towards him and all kinds of blessings descend upon him. The commandments and beliefs which had hitherto been accepted as a matter of faith or on hearsay are now openly realized and felt through true visions and through certain and explicit revelations.

He is walked through the Kingdoms of God so that he may attain the perfect stage 1. Please see Footnote entitled, 'An Essential Conclusive Argument for Sayyed Ahmad Khan C. S. I. , on pages 279-306.
