"He has chosen you and has not implicated
you, with religious viewpoint, in any inconvenience. It is the creed of your
father Abraham. He had designated you as Muslims before. And in this regard,
the Prophet must be witness for you and you must be witnesses for the
mankind".
As
long as we are Muslims, we have to act as the viceroys of Allah and His Prophet
(P.B.U.H) in the world, and as such we have supposed to do what was done by the
Prophet (P.B.U.H). So as the Prophet (P.B.U.H) campaigned, with all gusto and
brio, to propagate the Islam and elucidate the way to Islam, likewise, we too
should take all the pains and strains to bring Islam before the eyes and ears
of all the humanity so as to join us, shoulder to shoulder, to serve the real
cause of Allah Almighty. It goes without saying that the cardinal objective,
living behind the Genesis, was that the Humans and Demons may identify their
Lord via their self-identification.
Those
who have achieved self-identification and have stepped towards the
identification of their Lord, then rests on their shoulders the responsibility
of calling mankind to step forward on the track which has been dubbed, in
Quranic parlance, the "Straight path". the path of those upon whom
Allah has showered His blessings and has opened in their face the flood-gates
of erudition and cognizance.
In
order to popularize this call, you should strictly adhere to some principles
and maxims, epitomized as follows:
Don't
lose the sight of your real status and avoid self manifestation and arrogance.
Beefup your efforts and don't giveup hope. Render your genuine services to the
creature of Allah. Dedicate, but sacrifice, your life for the goal.
As
a matter of fact, Allah has so proudly dubbed you "The Best Nation"
only because you accomplish these jobs.
Your
affectionate approach to the puritans and spiritualists shall lead you closer
to self-identification. But who are they? They are those persons who love each
other for the sake of Allah, and the love is undoubtedly salvation of the man
in the life hereafter.
Fury,
antipathy, split, feud and rancor are the distinguishing marks of that
fallacious Mission which remains a target of Divine wrath. In addition to it,
this mission advocates for arrogance, pugnacity, and personal obduracy and
egoism. These qualities contain all the factors that keep a person away from
Allah, and thicken the gloom of his life, and engulf him with all the bitter
travails to such an extent that the afflicted person derogates himself from his
own eyes. Despite all the worldly luxuries, his heart develops such malignant
tumors, the putridity of which puts an end to the fluorescent lights, latent in
his soul. Then this malady becomes chronic, these lights retreat back, and his
heart and ear, according to Quranic parlance, are sealed and his eyesight is
curtailed by a thick curtain. This misfortune not only keeps him at bay from
all the peace and quietude in this world, but makes him also bereft of the final salvation and recognition
of the truth. Our prophet (P.B.U.H) says in a long tradition:
"On dooms day some bondsmen of
Allah shall emanate from their graves while their faces will be shining. They
will be seated on the platforms of the pearls. Their status will be coveted
for. They will be neither prophets nor martyrs. One rustic questioned: O
Prophet of Allah who are they? Please tell us their identity. The prophet
answered: They are the persons who love each other in the way of Allah".
The
tradition which describes that the Prophet (P.B.U.H) visited his Lord one night
in the ever best shape, teaches us this prayer:
"O Allah I ask you to adopt
virtues and shun the indecencies and love the poorer, to pardon me and
commiserate me. When you want trial of your bondsman. I ask you to call me to
you unruffled. I ask your Love and the Love of those who love you, and the love
of such work which makes me closer to you".

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
