His followers used to put to death every one they met, deeming it a means of salvation, and reward in the next world. He had caused all the roads to be stopped, so that it was impossible for us to journey into Badakhshán. Sháh Razi-ud-Din was one of the cursed Muláhida of Kohistán, whose story is to be found in all histories. Most of the people of Badakhshán are adherents of that sect. They hold the world to be without beginning or end \[kadim\] and do not believe in resurrection or a future state. They say that during the lifetime of the Prophet, it was incumbent on all to abide by the statutes of the Holy Law; but at the present time, the sole duty of man is to speak fitting words and to be faithful to their meaning. All other ordinances are futile. Sexual intercourse \[vati\] with their own kindred is lawful, and the enjoyment of it is, in no respect, dependent on marriage; thus, should one have a passion for somebody with whom its indulgence is practicable, it is lawful to gratify it—be it with daughter or son or mother. - [Previous: 126.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.6) - [Next: 126.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.8) - [Up: 126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.7) · Pramāṇa
