Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Undoubtedly Allah made a covenant with the
Descendants of Israel, and We appointed twelve chiefs among them; and Allah
said, "Indeed I am with you; surely, if you establish the prayer and pay
the charity, and believe in My Noble Messengers and respect* them, and
lend an excellent loan to Allah, I will surely forgive your sins, and I
will surely admit you into Gardens beneath which rivers flow; then after
this, if any of you disbelieves, he has certainly gone astray from the
Straight Path." (To honour the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings be upon
him - is part of faith. To disrespect him is blasphemy.)
