27. ‘ Recognition’ means discovering the proper place in relation to what is recognized; and acknowledgement means concomitant action ( ‘amal ) resulting from discovering the proper place in relation to what is recognized. Recognition alone without acknowledgement is mere arrogance ; for it is the ’ haqq ’ of recognition to be acknowledged. Acknowledgement alone without recognition is mere ignorance ; for it is the ‘ haqq ’ of acknowledgement to actualize recognition. Either one by itself is ’ batil ’, for in Islam there is no worthwhile knowledge without action accompanying it, nor worthwhile action without knowledge guiding it. The just man is he who effects such Adab unto his self, resulting in his being a good man.” All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)

30. “ Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.” ( Qur’an: Fath: 48: 29 ) All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)
