Otherwise, you are a falsifier in what you claimed due to the paucity of your knowledge; for you testified to the Truth yet denied it, so deprivation became binding upon you due to the shortness of your knowledge and gnosis1.
And if you are satisfied with what you have transmitted from those who preceded you, then you are merely an imitator (Muqallid), believing in speculative sayings whose correctness is not trusted. Thus, the proof (Hujjah) is binding upon you, just as it binds those who preceded you—whom you imitated—through the testimony.
The ultimate conclusion among the Verifying Wayfarers (Al-Salikin al-Muhaqqiqin) is that Gnosis (Ma'rifa) is a "cause for the salvation of every Knower, and the gain of every victor." It is the happiness of every seeker of guidance; it is the seal of righteousness, and the key to goodness, prosperity, and success. Therefore, you must search for this "Sought One" (Al-Matlub) and verify the discourse regarding Him.
