31. We have not made guards of hell any but angels, and We have fixed the number merely to test infidels and those who have been endowed upon the text may rest assured and intensify the faith of those who have acquired faith and those who have been endowed upon the text andthe faithful may not doubt and those whose hearts are diseased and infidels may question the object (in selecting) this number (19). Thus does God leave misguided them whom He likes and guides whom He chooses, and none but He knows the strength of His armi, and this (i.e. believe in Divine Lights as the only guides) is merely a piece of adevice to man.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ {38}

38. Every man for his deeds has been pawned (to deliver it from Divine punishment for his sins).

إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ {39}

39. Except those (Divine Lights and their followers).

فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ {40}

Notes

1. This call the Prophet first heard in the cave of Hirrah, when he saw the angel between Heaven and Earth. I hastened hom to Khadija and asked her to give me a mantle, when I heard Gabriel repeating the Couplets.

Moral

Please do not forget insistent orders of Divine Lights are “prayers.” It is allged modern manwas not opposed to religion but was indifferent to it. He did not deny the existence of God, but did not want to bother about Him due to self-will. With the aid of science and technology, modern man though he could make the world a happy place (what about the Future State, when shall be a decisive vitory)? (See paragraph two of Moral at the end).

Although it is agreed p ractically, on all hands, fundamental unity of all religions, and supreme ideal of life was the realization of God, yet they are ignorant, which various cults then propagated, have now been tampered with, and as subsequent Divine Lights came, pointed out these deviations from the original Divine Intentions. Last, faith, which is not going to be replaced anymore, and is universally applicable only, is valid until Dooms Day, appeal through Divine Lights to the living public, setting aside their passion and projecting aggression passionately (as non is authorized by God to put forth any directive appeal to the public to adhere and old mutilated cult, excep the Divine Lights on the basis of Final faith, they are now propagatging).
