The Beginning and the End

English book, p. 259

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

The Beginning and the End It is this ideological discovery that enables you to live with the elevated spirit of hamd, that is, praise and glory for God Almighty. But it is not easy to achieve this high spirituality. The most important thing is that you should save yourself from the evil forces that are at all times actively trying to deceive you. These evil forces are of two kinds: one, visible, and the other, invisible. Visible deceivers are those who are evil people. They include both men and women. By their misleading advice, they try to cause one’s mind to deviate from the right path. The greatest quest of both men and women is to discover their Creator, God Almighty. It is this discovery that makes one accept and acknowledge God as God Almighty, as one’s Lord. The Jinn and Satan are invisible creatures. They have no power over people, but they can mislead them. The deceptive technique of the jinn is that he whispers into the hearts of people, causing them to stray from the right path. He beautifies evil doings and thus makes people see wrong in the form of right and right in the form of wrong. The greatest quest of both men and women is to discover their Creator, God Almighty. It is this discovery that makes one accept and acknowledge God as God Almighty, as one’s Lord. One who discovers this supreme reality becomes a divine person, but this achievement is also fraught with the risk of becoming the victim of evil forces. So one has to be alert, and very cautious in the full sense of the word. Then one can successfully cultivate the virtue of gratefulness.
