prophets to mankind, ‘Worship Me, fulfil your
obligations to one another and live in accordance
with My will. I will punish those who fail to do
this in a way that cannot be imagined.’Although,
every ear has heard this declaration and every
tongue acknowledges it in one form or the other,

‘no consequence.’ In order to avail themselves
of worldly advantages, people perpetrate every
form of misdemeanour.
