1 – It is the worst bid’at to use things which Islam says are
symbols of disbelief.
2 – Kinds of belief not conforming with what the Ahl-i sunnat
scholars communicate are also bad bid’ats.
3 – Renovations and reforms done as worships are bid’ats
and are grave sins.]
Couplet:
Faithfulness is what becomes a man, even when wronged;
If a person is true, Allah will him uphold.
32 – FIRST VOLUME, 65th LETTER
This letter, written to Khân-ı a’zâm, expresses regret
over the situation Islâm is in today and over the
persecution which the Muslims suffer.
May Allahu ta’âlâ increase your strength! May He help you
in your struggles against the enemies of religion in order to
exalt His Sharî’at. Mukhbir-i sâdiq [2] (Muhammad, ’alaihi wa alâ
âlihi minassalawâti afdaluha wa minattaslîmâti akmaluhâ) said,
“Islâm commenced in a gharîb and lonely state. During the
latter times, it will relapse into its state of gharîb (lonely,
forsaken, left alone) as it was when it began. How lucky for
the Muslims who are gharîb and lonely!” During the time of
the previous government (the time of Akbar Shah) Muslims
were so gharîb that disbelievers used to slander Islâm openly
and make fun of Muslims. They used to express their
irreligiousness and praise disbelievers and disbelief in bazaars
and markets. It was forbidden for the Muslims to do [to say and
write about] most of Allah’s commandments. Those who
performed worships and obeyed the Sharî’at were being
censured and slandered.
Beauties hide away their cheeks, Satan is feigning
reluctance;
So astonished I am, that almost verging on craziness.
Subhânallah! [1] O my Allah, thanks be to Thee! It has been
said, “Islam is protected under the shadow of the sword.”
The brightness of the exalted Sharî’at has been delegated to
leaders of governments. However, the situation became quite
[2] He who always tells the truth.
[1] “I know Allah to be far from a defect or deficieny.”
