124,000 messengers came and their Mottos of Faith were identical.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Adam Safi Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Ibrahim Khaleel Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Moosa Kaleem Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Esa Rouh Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah.
And then, [the Motto was] ‘ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah
I bear witness that God is one’.
No other prophet or messenger had this Motto of Faith.
Why not?
Moses could also have declared that God is one…
Who Must Proclaim The Truth?
The Qur'an states,
'O Messenger of God, these people who approach you and say that you are Messenger of God,
there is no doubt that you are God’s Messenger, but they are lying’.
Now, people say, ‘We can never lie to HDE Gohar Shahi’.
How?
People lied directly to Prophet Muhammad (s).
In fact, they lied by speaking the truth.
Can saying that the Prophet (s) is God’s Messenger be a lie?
It’s the truth, right?
Yes, the statement itself is true
but it will only be true if he one who is delivering the statement is truthful.
If a hypocrite is delivering a truthful message, it will be hypocrisy.
Do not look at who is speaking the truth,
rather ascertain whether he is truthful himself.
The truth alone does not prove its truthfulness.
In order for the truth to be the truth, the one delivering the truth must also be truthful.
If the one speaking is a liar then even if he speaks the truth, it’s hypocrisy.
Surah Al-Munafiqoon states:
‘izaa ja’akal munafiqoon'
'O Messenger of God, when the hypocrites approach you…’
‘qaloo - and they say…’
‘nash’hadu - that ‘we bear witness’
‘innaka la rasool allahi'
'we bear witness that you are the Messenger of God’.
There’s no doubt about that.
And what does God say?
‘wallahu ya’lamu - God is aware that you are his Messenger’.
It’s not like this is new information [for God].
The one who sent him as a Messenger wouldn’t know he’s a Messenger?
Wow!
The one who sent him as a Messenger wouldn’t know he’s a Messenger?
So, God says, ‘wallahu ya’lamu'
'God knows you are his Messenger’.
God says, ‘wallahu ya’lamu innaka rasooluhoo'
'We are aware you are the Messenger of God’
‘wallahu yash’hadu'
'and God bears witness that you are God’s Messenger’
‘innal munafiqeena la kaziboon'
'but when these hypocrites proclaim the same, they are lying’.
Now, look at me. Hear this from me.
What would God want?
Who would God want to speak God's truth?
Who should deliver God’s truth?
The one whose spiritual heart is filled with divine energy, and is a Momin.
Maybe HDE Gohar Shahi also only wants their secrets,
the secrets of the Unseen World to be revealed by the one who has been to the Unseen World.
The one, in whose heart resides the Unseen Realm should reveal the secrets.
Who are you to proclaim?!
You are liars!
There is no doubt that Rab al Arbab hails from the Unseen World
but if you proclaim this truth, it is hypocrisy and lies.
They are Rab al Arbab and this statement is true because I am saying it.
If you say ‘They are Rab al Arbab’, it will be a lie.
How is that possible? Well, that’s what the Qur’an states.
I’ve just presented the verse to you!
What matters here is not the knowledge,
rather the veracity of the one delivering [the truth].
It is not about the Qur’an and Hadith here
but rather about the one who proclaims the truth.
Now, it is one thing to speak the truth.
What are you taught by the religion?
‘Always speak the truth’. That’s true.
[But] first, you should become truthful, then you will not need to be told to ‘always speak the truth’.
Become truthful first.
‘koonoo ma'as saadiqeen - and be with those who are true’.
Become truthful, then you can proclaim the truth.
But you haven’t even fulfilled the instruction of ‘koonoo ma'as saadiqeen’.
‘’It is okay to stand with the truth and proclaim the truth, Younus But what is the point of such a truth which does not reflect from within you’’
Now, you’re proclaiming the truth but it’s futile, why?
Because you’re not truthful yourself.
124,000 messengers came and their Mottos of Faith were identical.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Adam Safi Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Ibrahim Khaleel Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Moosa Kaleem Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Esa Rouh Allah.
La Ilaha Illa Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah.
And then, [the Motto was] ‘ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah'
'I bear witness that God is one’.
No other prophet or messenger had this Motto of Faith.
Why not?
Moses could also have declared that God is one
but God said, ‘No, it’s not necessary for you to say it. You stay quiet’.
Who shall proclaim this [truth]?
The one who has witnessed God up there,
such an individual’s testimony shall be truthful!
Only Prophet Muhammad (s) declared
‘ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah’.
No one else said it
because no one else had witnessed God.
So how can God allow them to lie?
What about Moses?
The dialogue of Moses with God,
Moses said, ‘I wish to see you’, and what did God say?
‘Lan taranee ya Moosa - you cannot see me, Moses’.
So now, if God were to allow Moses to say ‘I bear witness’
It would be against God’s protocol.
Moses himself would have retorted, ‘Really? God is one?
I wasn’t even allowed to see him! So how can I believe he is one?’
This was the entire dilemma of his era.
The people of his era worshipped cows.
That nation either worshipped the Pharoah or cows.
Then Moses came and said, ‘Believe in God’.
They said, ‘Show us where is God?’
Moses said, ‘Well, you can’t see him…’
And they mocked him,
‘What? At least we can see the cow!
And you’re telling us to believe in someone we can’t even see?!’
And they said, ‘We will only believe him on one condition: let us see him’.
And Moses delivered his nation’s request to God
and God said, ‘You cannot see me’.
Moses insisted, ‘No, please. My nation will refuse to believe otherwise’.
So then God said,
‘Alright, do this. I cannot call your entire nation’
and there were 70 tribes in the nation,
‘so bring forth the leaders of all 70 tribes’.
So all 70 tribe leaders went along with Moses. Because they had put forth their condition: show us God and we will believe in him.
So God thought, alright, let’s put an end to their objections.
But they were also ended along with their objections.
Obviously, the objection was terminated
but along with that, the 70 leaders of the tribes of Moses’ nation,
they were standing behind Moses [on the Mount of Sinai]
and when the divine theophanies were descended, Moses fell unconscious
and the 70 tribe leaders were killed.
So now, the rest of the nation were in awe of God’s existence and wrath, as 70 leaders had been slain.
Now, all of the 124,000 prophets and messengers believed in the Oneness of God,
they all proclaimed that God is one,
however, they were not permitted to give a false testimony.
Like in Pakistan, it’s common for people to give false testimonies.
But God cannot do that.
He sent 124,000 messengers
and it took thousands of years for their descent.
God waited patiently
and then finally, he sent Prophet Muhammad (s) in the end.
When the Prophet (s) witnessed the divine splendour,
now God said it with full force:
‘qul - tell them!’
Tell them what?
‘Qul hu Allah hu ahad!’ ‘Say, that God is one’.
On what basis?
Now it was the truth and the one saying it was also truthful.
The statement is true and the one delivering it is also truthful.
Now, in Pakistan, one who doesn’t even know how to ride a bicycle is a Transport Secretary,
and those who are illiterate and uneducated are Ministers of Education,
and those who know nothing about spirituality are posing as spiritual guides.
However, this is not the divine law.
The divine law is that before God enables one to speak the truth, he transforms them into the truth.
So remain silent. Why?
Should you conceal the truth? No,
do not conceal the truth rather preserve the truth so that it is not distorted because of you.
For instance, if your hands are dirty,
like you’ll have noticed in every restaurant they’ve placed signs in the bathrooms:
all employees must wash hands before work.
There must have been a case
whereby someone didn’t wash their hands after using the toilet and started handling food.
People must have complained.
So, they’ve put those signs up.
Especially in America. Perhaps not so much here.
But in America, they’ve written in the bathrooms:
all employees wash their hands before they handle food.
They’ve put these signs up to ensure that their food is not contaminated,
because they care for their customers and their food.
Similarly, God too ensures that no filthy person proclaims God’s truth.
Why?
So that the truth is not rejected.
What entitlement have you been given to speak about the Unseen World?
Who do you think you are? Who are you?
Has God told you to speak about this?
Have HDE Gohar Shahi told you to speak about these things?
Then why are you speaking?
[Whereas] the one the Lord has instructed to speak is silent. Why?
For instance, you ask me, ‘You are truthful so why aren’t you proclaiming it?’
The reason why I am silent is because I want to make sure the one whom I reveal the truth to becomes truthful himself first.
Now, I have become truthful, yes.
But I must keep that truth to myself because I am truthful.
So when will I reveal the truth?
When the one before me also becomes truthful.
He has not become truthful and you’re telling me to reveal the truth to him.
Why should I?
He should become truthful first. That’s what it is.
For example, if someone has never felt heat,
you could describe heat to them in a thousand different ways,
but they will not understand it.
But I don’t describe it to you at all,
I place a scalding cup of water in front of you and say,
‘Son, put your hand inside it’.
As soon as you touch it, you’ll understand immediately what heat means.
So what’s the point of lecturing you for an hour about heat and its dangers?
What’s the point of this lecture?
Just put a cup of hot water in front and say,
‘If you want to feel the heat, put your hand in the cup’.
The second you do, you’ll snatch your hand back in shock.
We are transforming people into the scalding water
so that they are able to recognise the truth with their feelings.
I want people to feel the truth.
There’s no need to tell them.
‘The fragrance speaks for itself’.
Someone is calling out, ‘Come, eat rabri. Come!’
And he doesn’t even have rabri to give.
Whereas, we haven’t told anyone that we’ve got rabri
and yet everyone [who comes here] is enjoying rabri.
So who is benefitting,
those who are listening to the lecture of rabri or those who are eating it?
