How to Get Rid of the Bondage of Sin?

The Book

Under the special directions of the Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba) concerted efforts were made to locate, if any, of the writings of the Promised Messiah(as) left out and not included in the set of Ruhani Khaza’in that has been compiled by Hazrat Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Shams(ra). These efforts bore fruit, and hence this book is added to Ruhani Khaza’in, edtion of 2009.

This contribution of the Promised Messiah(as) was found in the very first volume of Review of Religions Urdu edition of January 1902. This contribution on a very important subject of “How to get rid of the bondage of sin?” is spread over 23 pages of the Review of Religions.

It became necessary as the Christian missionaries were misleading simple Muslims with their own philosophy of salvation and attributing it to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ who they claim went to the cross to deliver the mankind into salvation.

Specimen of Writing

The question, naturally arises now, whether there is any true remedy for freedom from bondage of sin, if atonement is not, I do not assert it forcibly but offer it as my own experience and as a well tried remedy that there exists ,and has existed from the creation of man down to this day, one and one sure method of being released from the slavery of sin and the disobedience of God. Nothing can be a proof against sin, except a perfect knowledge of God attained through sure and conclusive arguments and brilliant signs of His existence. It is not simply to believe that there is a God but to know God and see God.

It is through such a knowledge of God that man clearly sees the wrath of God is a devouring fire, and a manifestation of the beauties of God sets the soul at rest and makes it evident that true bliss and eternal felicity consists in a constant and reverent adoration of God.1

Any one who only hankers after a salvation in the next world is certainly on wrong path.

True salvation is that which begins in this life .It is a light that descends upon the heart and shows the abyss of destruction. Walk therefore in the path of truth and wisdom then you will find God.2
