The words, "Whosoever is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious," signify that Khilafat is a great Divine blessing.

If Muslims do not show proper appreciation of Khilafat by giving unstinted support and obedience to their Khalifahs they will forfeit this great Divine boon and in the Divine promise about establishment of Khilafat. 2632. Commentary: the The verse purports to say that the kingdom and dominion of the world will be bestowed upon the followers of Islam and they will become the leaders and teachers of mankind. It is God's plan and His decree and no one frustrate Divine decree. All efforts on the part of the enemies of truth to alter this inviolable Divine decree will end in failure. As long as Khilafat will endure among Muslims as an active force Muslims will march from success to success. 2290 can
