It is not something to be said, however I feel I should mention it to you. Undoubtedly, we are not pious people; nevertheless we endeavour to adopt the appearance of the pious and truthful. We have hope that through adopting the appearance of the pious and truthful, Allah Ta&#8217;ala will also favour us and will not deprive us of His grace. Look at the incident of Moosa (\u2018alaihis salaam) and Fir&#8217;oun. In the era of Fir&#8217;oun, the magicians confronted Nabi Moosa (\u2018alaihis salaam) (with the intention of opposing him). However on account of them imitating his clothing and outward appearance, Allah Ta&#8217;ala gave them taufeeq of embracing Islam and Allah Ta&#8217;ala favoured them.
