Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Second Fascicle

eliever or a disbeliever, with or without a conscience, live
happily and comfortably in this world. This is similar to the fact
that whoever uses the medicine known to be good for his illness
will recover. We see that irreligious people and nations are
successful in many business fields. They are successful because
they work compatibly with the Qur’ân al-kerîm. However, it is
necessary to believe in the Qur’ân al-kerîm and to follow it with
the intention of attaining the happiness of the next world, too.]
The 179th âyat of the Sûrat-ul-Baqara in Qur’ân al-kerîm, which
purports: “O those who have reason; only think! You will see that
My command, (Kill the murderer), bears life, not death!”
corroborates our argument.
A Persian couplet translated into English:
If the judge didn’t have a cudgel hidden behind him,
The drunk, base-born would vomit into the Ka’ba.
We will also mention the fact that Allâhu ta’âlâ is the absolute
owner of everything, of all of us. All people are His creatures,
slaves. It is always reasonable and useful for Him to use every
command He gives His slaves and everything as He wishes. There
cannot be cruelty or malice in this. People of lower rank or slaves
cannot ask their superiors, their masters the reasons for their
commands and attitudes.
If He were to put all people into Hell and torment them
eternally, who would have the right to object? For, He would be
using His property which He Himself had created and raised.
How could it be said to be cruelty while there is no transgression
to someone else’s property, because there is no someone else?
However, the possessions which people use and which they boast
about belong in actual fact not to themselves but to Him. Indeed,
it is injustice for us to lay hands on them, to interfere with them.
For the order of this world and for some other uses, Allâhu ta’âlâ
has assigned them to our possession, yet in fact they are all His.
Then what is proper for us to do is to use them as much as their
real owner allows us to.
All the facts, all the commandments which Prophets
‘’alaihimussalawâtu wa-t-teslîmât’ conveyed to us from Allâhu
ta’âlâ are true. For unbelievers and for the disobedient ones of
those who die with imân there will be torment in the grave.
Mukhbir-i Sâdiq (he who always told the truth) ‘’alaihi wa ’alâ
âlihissalâtu wassalâm’ conveyed this information. When unbelievers
and Believers [or only Believers] are interred, two angels named
