The Teachings of Islam
Acknowledgment of the Truth
~ 44 ~
Since man is being tested in this world, God does
not make himself manifest in visible form; He
appears in the form of truth. Man must endeavour
to recognize truth as enshrining God and bow
down before it. Whenever truth appears on earth, it
is as if God has appeared in all His majesty. If one
rejects it on the grounds of prejudice, pride or
expediency, then one has rejected God Himself.
This action shows that one has failed to recognize
God in the truth. One has put oneself above God
and given precedence to one’s own requirements.
God will have scant regard for such people on the
Day of Judgement and, on that day, whomsoever
God scorns will find no refuge on earth or in
heaven. They will wander helplessly, forever abject
and forlorn.
