Al-Lateef - the Kind, Gracious and Unseen. (17th April 2009)

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih Vth, explained the divine attribute of God called Al-Lateef, which means the one who is gracious and kind, the one who is subtle, the one whose complete identity is difficult or impossible to understand for human mind.

God is All -Knowing and All -aware. He provides physical and spiritual nourishment. He helps like a dear friend during difficult times. He acknowledges good and covers weakness. He accepts small sacrifices and inturn bless them with great reward.

Holy Quran says " Eyes cannot reach God, but He reaches eyes"( 6:104). Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace) explains our sight, our intelligence, our consciouness cannot reach God because He is Unseen. Even if we have to imagine He is unimaginable.

But God reaches us. Whomever He reaches He fills that person with great love of God and illumines that person with Light of God. Prophets and God's messengers are especially blessed with this light of God, hence they speak about God and convey the message they received from God to the mankind.

Huzoor says to witness the light of God, one need not be well educated, learned or even a very rich or have a good status in the society. Whoever truly look for Him, who are sincere and have a real longing to see God with their pure hearts, God himself helps and provides guidence.

At this current age God sent Promised Messiah (On whom be peace) to provide guidence to truly seeking servants of God. Huzoor said We Ahmadis , the faithful, who have accepted the Imam of the age should pray for all Muslims and mankind, so that God may purify their hearts to accept the truth. Ameen.
