He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the

heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

The Holy Quran - Chapter 59: Verse 25

Jabir narrates that he heard the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, state: “The most excellent way of

remembering Allah is to proclaim: There is no one worthy of worship except Allah. And the best sup-

plication is to profess: All praise belongs to Allah.”

Tirmidhi

“The Unity of God is a light which illumines the heart only after the negation of all deities, whether

they belong to the inner world or the outer world. It permeates every particle of man’s being. How

can this be acquired without the aid of God and His Messenger? The duty of man is only to bring

death upon his ego and turn his back to devilish pride. He should not boast of his having been

reared in the cradle of knowledge but should consider himself as if he were merely an ignorant per-

son, and occupy himself in supplications. Then the light of Unity will descend upon him from God

and will bestow new life upon Him.”

Roohani Khazain Vol. 22 Haqiqatul-Wahi, p 148

What God wants from you and which concerns your salvation is that you should believe in the abso-

lute Unity of God free of all deified associations such as stone idols, celestial bodies or sons etc.,

otherwise the Declaration of faith: There is none worthy of worship other than Allah is meaningless.

You should examine yourselves to find out what kind of inner idols need to be broken.

One of the commonest kinds of idolatry is the worship of oneself. There have been and are such

people who make their own ego their god. We should pray to God to overlook our weaknesses

which however, is insufficient as long as we do not ask Him for light and guidance. When you will

break this idol you will experience the Grace of God. I advise the members of the Community to puri-

fy themselves and break into pieces all fake gods because as long as they do not purify themselves

they cannot exhibit full faith in the Unity of God.
