Front Page

River does not belong to any one, no one owns the road, every one is free to drink from river and walk on the road. Truth has no caste or creed or belongs to any country. Every searcher of truth has a right to search and has right to find and accept it.

He is really ungrateful; who thinks that truth is his personal property and does not allow others to come near it. One is great who is successful in finding the truth. One whose life becomes shining example and causing others to come to truth, he has real life.

Foreword (By the pen of Wasi Sulaiman Nadwai (Son of Maulana Kalim Siddiqui- MUQ)

If a burning coal is your front and a little child is walking with naked feet and his feet is about to touch that burning peace of coal, what should be your reaction?

Will you not consider it your duty and feel happiness by holding that child in your arms and steer him away from that burning piece of coal?

In the same way we fell passions and feel pity and pain when some one gets burns from fire… this is our natural reaction, one human to another human.

Have you ever thought why is it so? Because every human is ultimately children of only one set of parents and every one has a working heart inside their breasts. This heart is filled with love, compassion and welfare for every other human. That is why one enjoys at the success of other and feels pain and pity at their loss or suffering.

A true human is one, who has in his heart the welfare of whole mankind. His every work is for the welfare of humanity, and he is moved seeing the suffering of others and it always ready to help them and indeed this becomes the mission of his life.

Human life on this earth is very uncertain and after death he will get a life which is permanent. Only those who worship their Creator and follow His guidelines will enter paradise and enjoy a blissful never ending life. And those who end their life without recognizing Him and follow His guidelines, would have to face punishment and burn in hell fire for ever and ever.

We see Millions and Millions of people of our time as running , as if in a race, to jump into that fire. Is it not the duty of those who are on the right path and have care of humans and humanity in their hearts, to come forward and save all these multitudes from falling into hell?

We are happy to say that Maulana Kalim Uddin Sahib , who has the welfare and wellbeing of humans and humanity as his guiding principles of life, and who is always deep in thought as to see their present condition, has come forward and said these few words, which do reflect innermost love and compassion of his heart,

With these few words, I put before you, these pieces of his heart…..which he has named as “AAP KI AMANAT AAP KI SEVA MEIN” i.e. YOUR Trust, returned to You.

1. Pardon Me !

Dear Readers,

Please pardon me, on my behalf and on behalf of entire Muslim community, I seek your pardon and indulgence, who due to the influence of that greatest enemy of mankind, (Satan) did not gave to your biggest trust that was with us.

And that Satan inserted in your hearts the hatred of criminals and not the crime, to turn this world into a big battle field.

With the view of “late rather than never” I have picked up the pen, to return that trust to you and talk to you in the tone of love and human values.

That one, who knows the innermost secrets of the hearts, knows that I am selfless in writing this to you and I am speaking with the true spirit of compassion. How many sleepless nights I have spent, in the grief of not writing this earlier, only He knows.

2. A sermon of Love

It is not the place to say so, but I want to say that you listen to these worlds with the eyes of love. Remember the One who is Creator and Sustainer of this Universe, so that you receive peace in your hearts and mind, that one of your brother has returned what was your right from the very birth.

The biggest thing which a man or woman when he comes to the world is what we are going to present before you.

3. Foremost Truth of the Nature

The Foremost truth of the nature and Universe is:

“The Creator and Sustainer of this whole Universe is One and Only One. He is Unique in His Personality and in His attributes. There is no partner with Him, in the Creation, Maintenance and Destruction of this Universe.

He is everywhere, He listens to every one, He sees every one. There is not even a leaf in the tree which falls without His permission or knowledge”

Inner soul of every human confirms this, irrespective to which religion he or she may follow. Even if he worships idols, but inside his heart he believes that there is only One Power who cherishes and protects every one.

A reasonable human mind can never fail to realise that there is only One Creator of this Universe. If we appoint Two Principals to any School, it cannot function properly. If there be two Chiefs in a village it will cease to function. If there be two kings in a country, there will be chaos, how come this Big Universe can function so smooth with more than One Ruler or Administrator? How can there be Partners with Him in running this Universe?

4. One Proof:

Quran which is Word of God , has challenged the whole world to prove that it is indeed word of God, says:

“If you be in doubt that (this Quran) is not from God, then bring one (small) chapter like it and call all your helpers, besides God to your help, if you speak the truth” (Ch2 V 23)”

It is now close to 1400 years and humans have progressed beyond our imaginations and the world has moved from the age of human and animal power to the age of computers and rockets, but this challenge of Quran is still open and no one has come forward to take it. This proves that this book is Book of God.

In this book, God has given logics and examples to appeal to our hearts and minds. A very simple verse is “If there were (many) gods on this earth and sky, it would have resulted in chaos and disorder” .

This is a very small verse, but when we ponder on it, we find that it says a very reasonable and logical thing. If there were more than one masters in the Universe, it could not run. One will say that it shall be day and another would have said, no there will be night. One says that day will be three month long and another says that it will be six month long.

If there were several independent powers for each and every job, then also there would have been chaos. Some one would please one deity to cause rain on the earth and at the same time, some other would have pleaded with sun to shine.

Nothing in the Universe would have worked in the way it is working, unless there be only One Supreme Power in this Universe and every thing and every affair is running as per His commands and direction.

5. True Evidence

Every thing in this Universe is giving evidence by their mere existence, that Creator and Sustainer of this Universe is one and only one. He does and shall do whatever He wills or Wishes. There is no one who can stop him or can change His orders.

We cannot fathom His personality and His attributes in our minds, we cannot make any image or idol of Him. He has created so many things in this Universe for the use of humans. Sun is serving humans, Wind is serving humans, Earth, Fire, Water, animals, plants all are serving humans.

Human has been given dominion over every thing we can see and we can control, but human is created to worship and obey His Lord and His Creator and no one else!!.

Is it nor reasonable and logical that when God is the one, who gives us Life, Death, food to eat, water to drink, Air to breath, should it not be our duty to be grateful to our Lord and follow His commands?

If someone is not following orders and commands of his or her own Lord and Creator then he or she is not a good human.

6. A great Reality

Quran draws our attention to a very great reality “Every Soul has to have the taste of death and then you all shall return to Me” (Ch 29 V 57)

This simple verse has two parts, in the first part there is no doubt from any one, that any one who is born shall have to die, Every religion, every society and every human believes in this part and there is not a single exception to acknowledge that every one has to die. It is immaterial if one is Atheist or does not believe in the existence of God…but even he cannot deny that he will have to die!!

Not only humans, but every living creature knows that they have to die and try to fend it off as much as they can. When a mouse runs after seeing a cat, it is acting on this instinct to save him from death. If a dog runs to save it from a running vehicle it is same instinct.

7. After Death

The second part of this verse draws our attention to another great truth, if humans understand it, then the total outlook of world will change. This great truth is that after you die, you will return to me and you will be paid according to what you had done in the world.

It will not happen that once you are dead, you will decay and mix with the dirt and dust of earth, neither your soul shall enter into another body, because this attitude is not reasonable neither logical.

The concept of Transmigration of Soul is not mentioned in Vedas, but is a later addition in Puranas. These books were written, when under the influence of Satan, the ruling classes had divided humans into upper castes and lower castes. When the lower caste people asked, why when our creator is same, we have the same ears, eyes, and noses like you, why should we serve you upper castes?

To answer these questions, these people invented the logic that your birth in lower caste is due to your bad deeds in your previous birth. According to this philosophy, every soul is born again and again , those who have done the worst deed are born in vegetable kingdom and those who did good deeds get MOKSHA , i.e. they are free from this cycle of birth and death.

8. Three arguments against AWAGAMAN

1. Almost every scientist agrees (and it is proven from fossil records too) that first life on this planet was vegetable kingdom, then animals were born and after millions of years humans appeared. So if humans were not even born whose souls did good and bad deeds that they were born as vegetables and animals?

2. Then according to this theory, the total number of souls on this earth must always be decreasing, because many will get MOKSHA in each generation. But we see that every type of life is on increase on this earth. How come?

3. The numbers of people and other animals are born more in numbers than they die at any particular instant. How come when every soul is re-born immediately, why this much difference in the two numbers? Then we hear that one child who died was reborn after many years in another village, why this much delay in rebirth? (The truth is that it is Jinn who mislead the people by talking thru that child and giving information about past life), why every child does not remember his past life?

Therefore the basic truth will be evident at the time of our death, that once we die, we return to our Creator and he is judged according to what deeds he did on this earth.

9. Our deeds will bear fruits:

If a man walks on the path of good deeds and follow religion, he will enter paradise. Paradise is a place of bliss and enjoyment. There are things there which no eyes have seen and no ears have heard and even our imaginations have not reached that far. And the biggest Bliss in Paradise will be that they will see their Lord and Creator face to face!! There will nothing more enjoyable and bigger than this.

On the other hand , those who do bad deeds and reject the advice of their Lord and Creator, they will go to hell fire. They will be punished for each of their bad deeds and breaking the law. Hell is exact opposite to the paradise and the place of punishment of every type. The biggest punishment to those in hell will be that they will never Se nor hear their Lord and Creator and that loss will be the biggest, bigger than the hell fire. 10. Making Partners of God is the Greatest Sin.

Our True Lord has told us in Quran that good deeds have grades, in the same way bad deeds also have grades. We are told that God forgives our sins small and big, but there is one sin and crime, which God will never forgive and that is the sin of associating partners in the worship of God. This is called SHIRK in Quran.

Any one who is guilty of this sin and dies without repenting of this sin, he shall remain in hell forever and will never come out. He will not die and neither shall he live. This is the worst state of any sinner.

This associating partners in worship of God can take many forms, like bowing down and prostrating before others, to believe that some one else besides God can give us life, death, children and benefit or harm us. It is immaterial if we worship, Sun, Moon, Star, any Idol, Tree, Animal or any Human being (living or dead). SHIRK is such a big sin that every one should stay well clear of it.

11. Why SHIRK is such a big Sin (An example).

If some one has wife, who argues with him, and nags him and does not take orders from him. When her husbands ask her to leave the house and go away, she says no I will live and die here and will not leave your house even for a minute. I think howsoever angry her husband might be, he will be touched by her loyalty and will forgive her.

On the other hand, if his wife be very polite and takes care of her husband and waits for him waking half the night if he is late in home coming…..but if she says to her husband that such and such neighbor is very nice and kind to me and I have also taken him as husband….every man who has slightest self respect will never forgive such a wife and will break relationship with her.

Why is it so? Because no man wants to share his wife with others. How come when a man who is created from a mere sperm has so much self respect and God who is Creator and Sustainer of entire Universe, should not have self respect that His Creations associate and take some one else beside Him as His Partner?

That is why Quran is strictly against idol worship and Quran has given a very beautiful simile about it:

“O Mankind! Those whom you worship besides God, cannot (even) create a Housefly, even if all join together, (not only that) if a fly takes some thing from them (PRASAD etc), they cannot (even) get it back, weak are indeed who worship and those who are worshipped”

It is a powerful example. It is God who has created us and we should worship only Him. These idols are made by us, and they should worship us and not other way round.

12. Wrong example:

Some people say that we worship these people because they have shown us the way to God. But it is a very weak argument, like if some one asks s a person to describe train. And when he is educated he rides on the man instead of riding on the train!

Some people say that we keep these idols just for concentration. This is another false logic, suppose you want to think about your father, if you concentrate on a tree, how come it will help you in concentrating on your father. There is nothing similar between a Tree and your father. In the same way Our God and Creator is Not Like anything we can see or imagine on this earth. A false and imaginary idol can never help us in concentrating on True God.

But such worship will cause us lots and lots of trouble for us on the last day. 13. Faith is the Greatest of all Good deeds:

In the same way, having true faith is the biggest and greatest of all good deeds. Every religion says that when we die, we leave everything behind on this earth, what we take with us is our faith (and our good deeds). The definition of faith is to give every one what is his right. And injustice is not to give any one what is his right.

The biggest right on every human is from our God, who has created us and gave us all these faculties and made every thing in this universe to serve us. That is why to have faith on God and to follow His instruction is the real faith and the biggest good deed

But one who wants to be very fair to every one else, but does not have faith in his Creator and sustainer is like a robber who robs people of millions and then goes to a shopkeeper and says that this is one rupee which I have to return to you. Robbing Millions and being just for a penny? If you have no faith in your Creator, then how can you be just to others? It is only a mere watershed.

That is why to recognise our Creator and be always ready to follow His Instructions is the ultimate good deed, which is sure to lead us to paradise.

14 True Religion:

Since the day humans came on this earth, true religion has been only one. That is: “One should recognize and worship only One True God and Follow His Instructions”.

Quran says “Religion in the eyes of Allah is (only) Islam (i.e. submitting ourselves to Allah), and on the Last day if any one comes with any other religion, it shall not be accepted from him and he shall be amongst the loosers” (Ch3 V 85).

Humans have an inherent weakness, that is , their senses are limited and they cannot get any information which is beyond and out of reach of his sense. Our minds also have a limit and beyond that it cannot go.

How we have to know what is the way which is liked by our Creator, What are His likes and dislikes and how we have to spend our lives on this earth? These are the questions which will be answered in the next section. 15. Prophets and Messengers:

In order to overcome these weaknesses of humans, his Lord send the guidance to selected people from human race thru His angels. These persons then told their people as to how to worship their Lord and Creator and how to live their lives in accordance with divine guidance. These persons are known as Prophets or Messengers of God. They can also be called Avatar, if we use Avatar in the sense that one who has been sent down.

There is a common misconception amongst some people that Avatar means that Lord has Himself come down as a human. This is a superstition and is a very great sin, because it leads to the worship of someone who is not God, in place of God. This was the superstition that mislead many to the worship of idols and statues in place of God.

These prophets and messengers came into all parts of the world. They came to every country and in all ages. They all taught the same message: i.e. to worship one God, make no partners with Him, and live your life according to His directions. No prophet or messenger ever asked their followers to worship idols or statutes or worship any thing else beside the One True God. Some people accepted advice of these prophets and followed in their foot steps.

16. How the Idol Worship started:

When these prophets and messengers died, after some time their followers used to remember them and were distressed at their loss. Satan took advantage of this and asked these followers to make a statue of these prophets, so that it will help them in their remembrance.

This Satan was a great enemy of human kind and his only job is to mislead them from true path to wrong path and falsehood. When they had made their statues, and were seeing it every day. Slowly and slowly Satan asked these followers to show respect to these statues, since they were of their prophets and messengers.

When few generations were passed and old people had died, Satan told these new followers that your ancestors used to worship these statues and idols only and they believed in him and started worshipping these idols and not their Lord and Creator.

When mankind started worship of false gods, they lost the pleasure of their Lord and he became very angry on them and they fell from His grace and will receive the punishment of hell fire.

God sent one prophet after another to human kind to call them to true path and shun this idol worship. Some people took the advice of prophets and came to right path and others gave no heed to them and continued the path of their fathers and grandfathers, sometimes these people were destroyed as a result of their disobedience. 17. Ways of the prophets:

God kept on sending one prophet after another. Basis of their teachings was always the same. Worship only One God, do not associate anyone else in His Personality and His attributes. Follow divine guidelines and follow your prophet.

Believe in Angels, who are made from light and perform different duties in the Universe. Believe in the books which God sent from time to time to His prophets and messengers. And believe in the Hereafter, when every one will be brought to life and has to give their accounts before their Creator.

Every prophet and messenger of God was truthful, and the books which they brought were true, and we do not differentiate between them. The way to judge about these prophets is to see if they taught to worship only one God and that they did not teach to worship any thing else, including the worship of themselves.

Therefore if we find that any old personality teaches worship of idols or the worship of many gods, we can say that they were not prophets or that their teachings were modified and changed by their followers. Such things have been done for many prophets who came before prophet Mohammad, peace be on him..

18. Prophet Mohammad, the Last Prophet:

This is a very important thing to remember that every prophet or messenger foretold about the Last prophet that will come into the world. It is said by these old prophets, that when the last prophet comes, then every one should follow him and leave their earlier ways of life.

This is proof for the truth of Islam, that even after so many changes having been done, prophesies about the last prophet are still available in these old books. This is a miracle from God that these words were protected even after all these centuries. In Vedas he is referred as ‘NARASHANSA” In Puranas as “KALIKI AVTAR”, In Buddhist literature as “Last Buddha” In Torah as “Prophet like Moses” and in Gospels as “Paraclete” .

Many of these books clearly tell about his date of birth, place of birth, his parents and many other details. 19. Brief Biography of Prophet Mohammad, Peace be on to him.

Around 1400 years before, prophet Mohammad was born in the city of Makkah which is in the country of Arabia. His father died when he was in his mother’s womb. His mother also died a few years afterwards. First his grandfather, then his uncle took care of him and brought him up. He was liked and loved by every one in Makkah.

As he grew, people started liking him more and more. He was named as Truthful and Trustworthy. People used to deposit their valuable good with him for safe keeping (there were no banks or safe deposit boxes then). He used to solve their internal disputes.

When Kaaba, the holy structure, was being reconstructed and dispute rose as to who will fix the black stone in its wall, every one wanted to get that honor, the war was about to break out, when one wise man suggested that let us make the first man who enters Kaaba tomorrow as our arbitrator and let us follow his advice. It so happened that next day, Prophet Mohammad was the first one to enter Kaaba, when they saw him they were all happy and said “The truthful and Trustworthy has come and we are happy to abide by his decision”.

He asked to bring a sheet and then placed the black stone with his own hands on the sheet. Then he asked chiefs of all the tribes to lift that sheet and raise it to the place of black stone. When it reached there, he placed it with his own hands in the wall. He solved this tricky problem in so simple way. Makkah people used to put him forward in their affairs and were anxious when he was away from Makkah on trade matters.

Those were the times when people had placed close to 360 idols inside and around Kaaba, the house dedicated to the worship of one God. The Arabs were engulfed in every type of evils, like Drinking Alcohol, Gambling, Usury, adultery, fornication, burying girl child and not giving women any rights etc.

When he became forty years old, God made Him a prophet and started revealing to him, His last book, the Holy Quran thru the medium of His angels. The prophet was appointed to call his people to the truth and leave the path of evil. i.e. worshipping many gods and associating partners with God. 20. The call of truth:

The prophet called to people to come to truth from the top of a Mountain in Makkah and people hearkened to his call, because it was a call from a Truthful man, he asked people, “If I say to you that there is an enemy hidden behind this mountain and about to attack you, will you believe me”?

They said with one voice “Yes, because we have never heard lie from your mouth, and you can see on the other side of mountain, which we cannot see”. Then the prophet told them about Worship of one true God and asked them not to worship idol, trees and any thing else which they worshipped.

21. One common weakness of Humans:

Humans in general have a weakness, to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, without verifying if it is right or wrong. He never uses his reason and logic to check and verify the beliefs and superstitions that are practiced from his ancestors and anything which contradict these, he rejects without thinking.

22. Trials and Tribulations:

This was the main reason that despite knowing that the prophet never told a lie in his forty years of life, and their respect of prophet. Makkan people became enemies of the prophet. The more he tried people to come to the true path, the more they became his enemies.

Then some of them started persecuting people who had hearken to the prophet, they used to beat them, drag them on the streets of Makkah and different types of punishment. The prophet used to spend most of his nights praying to God to help his followers and open the hearts of his enemies to receive the truth.

Once he went to near by city of Taif, in the hope that they will hearken to his message, but they treated him even worse than Makkah people. They not only rejected his message, they incited children to throw pebbles at him and on his legs. When the prophet used to sit because of his injuries, they made him walk and threw pebbles at him. With feet filled with his own blood, he took refuge in a near by garden. He did not curse the people of Taif, instead he prayed to God to give them guidance.

Then he even left and fled his birth place of Makkah and take refuge in the city of Madina, situated three hundred miles of Makkah. But even there he did not get any peace and Makkah people attacked him there one after the other. The prophet had to take arms in self defense and protect and preserve his life and file of his followers.

23. Victory of Truth:

Truth wins always and the same happened here too, after trials and persecution lasting 23 years, the prophet was successful and his selfless mission to call humanity to truth bore fruit and the complete nation of Arabia was covered with the peace of Islam. This was a sign of revolution for the whole world, there was no idol worship, there was no discrimination of high and low and every one was united in the worship of One God.

24. Last Testament:

A short time before his death, the prophet performed his Last Pilgrimage along with 1,24,000 of his followers and in his last sermon there he also told the people “O people, you will also be asked about me, that did I delivered the message of God to you or not?’. Every one present there said with one voice “Yes you did delivered the message”. The prophet then pointed his finger to sky and said three times “O Allah, you be witness to this” Then he told his followers “Those who are present here, let them deliver this message to those who are not present here”

And he also told that that he was the last prophet and no prophet shall come after me. I am the one whom you were waiting for. (I am that NARASHANSA and KALIKI AVTAR etc.)

It is mentioned in Quran “To those whom We have given the book, recognize you (O prophet) as they recognise their own sons, but a group amongst them knowingly hides the truth “ (Ch2 V 147) 25. Duty of Every Human:

Now it is the duty of every human living on this earth to worship the Only One Lord of this Universe and associate no partner with Him and should believe in Prophet Mohammad (peace be on him) as His Last and Final Messenger and follow the guidelines shown by him. This is the Faith in Islam and if someone does not do it, he will burn in the hell fire for eternity.

26. Two Questions:

Two questions usually arise in a person’s mind:

a. If we have not seen Paradise and Hell with our eyes, how we are sure that they really exist?

To answer that, let me tell you that every scripture which came from God, irrespective of time and age has spoken about Paradise and Hell and they are accepted by all religions.

And there is another example, when the child is inside his mother’ womb, if we say to them when you will come out, you will see a big world out there, with cars, houses, gadgets etc…he will never believe it. But when he comes out, he finds that every thing which was told to him was real.

In the same way, when we are sure that a truthful man has given us these news, so they sure exist and it will happen the same way as we are told.

b. If all previous prophets and previous books are true, why it is necessary to believe in the Last Prophet?

To make the matter easy to understand I will give you an example. India has a constitution and a parliament. Whosoever became Prime Ministers of India was a legitimate Prime Minister according to Constitution of India. Jawahar Lal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi….they all were Prime Minister of India and whatever laws and regulations they made were legitimate….

But now we have to follow the current Prime Minister of India. We cannot say that we will only follow the “laws made by JL Nehru, since he was the First and the Best Prime Minister which India ever had”….such a man is not a true citizen of India and he will go to jail for acting against the constitution of India.

In the same way, all those past prophets were true, the books they brought were true….but now they have been superceded by the Last Book and the Last prophet. If we Reject the Last Prophet, in the Eyes of God , we are not counted as a believer.

27. There is only One True Religion:

Therefore it is not correct to say that all religions show the path to God, they are different ways but the goal is one. Truth is only one but there can be many falsehoods. Light is only one but the darkness could be many. The True religion is only one and it has remained same throughout the ages.

So it is Islam to follow the same religion, the religion never changes, what changes are rules and regulations. That too according to the instructions sent by God. When all Humans belong to the same race, and they have only One Creator, so the way should also be one. That is why Quran says “Religion in the site of Allah is only Islam”

28. One More Question:

What is the proof that Prophet Mohammad , peace be on him, is a true prophet and that he is the Last Prophet?

The answer is that Quran is a book of Allah, the reasons and the logics which are given by Quran have to be accepted by every one. No one is able to contradict them. Quran has said that Prophet Mohammad is a true prophet and that he is the last prophet.

And the second point is that his life history is open before the world. There is no other person in history whose entire life is in so much light. His friends and his enemies, no one said that he spoke lies in any matter dealing with his personal life. People of Makkah had given him the title of Truthful and Trustworthy.

If a man never speaks a lie in his personal life and in trade matters and in social matters, why will he tell such a big lie that he is a prophet of God and that he is the Last prophet. He has said many times that I am the last prophet and prophets have past have spoken about me.

29. Dr Ved Prakash Upadhyaya:

He is a learned Hindu Scholar. He says that “If some one does not accept Islam and believe that Prophet Mohammad is the Last Prophet, then he is not a Hindu!!. Because in Hindu scriptures they are told to follow NARASHANSA and KALIKI AVTAR when he appears on the earth. Any Hindu who has faith in his scriptures if he rejects last prophet, he has to enter hell fire, and he will be prevented to see God and His wrath shall be on him”.

30. Need of Faith:

Not only in the hereafter, we need faith to conduct our life on this earth also. It is our need to worship One God, those who leave Him and worship others, should learn the lesson from dogs. A dog always stays at the door of his master and never goes anywhere else, how come a man leaves his Creator and bows down at different doors?

But it is in the hereafter, where we are more in need of this faith and believe. Because we cannot return from there and there will be no more death there, irrespective of how many times we ask it to come. If some one goes from the world without faith, then he has to be in hell fire for ever and ever. In this world, we cannot bear the pain of a single spark, how we will bear the hell fire? Now is the time to decide our future course.

31. Dear Readers

My dear Reader!

No one knows the time of his or her death, we do not know that the breath we have taken in, we will be able to take out and what we have blown out, will be able to take in. We have only time before our death, please recognise your greatest duty before your death. There is no life without faith, in this world and after we die.

Every one has to appear before his or her creator, first thing that will be asked there will be about faith. And I am very much worried, if you will tell that I did not convey the message of truth to you people.

I am hopeful that these true words have penetrated inside your hearts, therefore please recite with full sincerity and with full conviction of heart, the conviction who only God your Creator knows the following creed of Islam:

“ASHADU ALLA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH WA ASHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WE RASOOLUHU”

Which means “I bear witness that their on no one worthy of worship except Allah and Mohammad is His Servant and His Messenger”

I repent of KUFR (Denial of faith) and SHIRK (associating partners with Allah) and with all bad deeds. And I vow to be loyal to my Creator and follow His orders and follow in the footsteps of Prophet Mohammad, peace be on him.

May our Graceful and Merciful Creator keep us on this right path, till our death. My dear reader, if you continue to follow this faith till your remaining life, then you will realise what good advise this brother of you had given.

32. Trial of faith:

Please remember that you could face trials and tribulations once you declare your faith. But truth always wins, and in your case also truth will win. Even if you have to spend rest of your life under trial, even then you have to bear it, remembering that days of this life is limited and the life after death is without any death and for ever.

These trials for limited period on this earth are nothing compared with gaining an everlasting favor of your Lord and Creator and to enjoy the benefits of Heaven which He has prepared for His Truthful servants.

33 One Duty of yours:

One more thing, once you have come on right path, it is your duty now to convey this trust of Islam to everyone who has not yet received it. You should be selfless and have feeling of well wishing of your fellow brothers and sisters at heart.

Your aim should be save these brothers and sisters of your from the Wrath of their Creator and with their own good. These were the feelings with our prophet delivered this message to his people. You should also pray to Allah to open their heart for guidance

Will you call such a person a man, who sees a blind man about to fall into a pit of fire, but does nothing to save him and continue to sit idle? Must he not take the hand of that blind man and take him away from that pit, or at least shout a warning to that blind man, that you are taking a wrong course and there is a pit of fire ahead of you? It is our duty as a human that we should not allow that blind man to fall into that pit.

This is the first duty of every Muslim, who has received guidance from Quran, and prophet, to save those who are on the wrong path of Denying the faith (KUFR) or steeped in the greatest sin of associating partners with Allah (SHIRK). He should reason with such people with soft language and requesting them, touching their chin and even touching their feet, that please do not follow the wrong path.

A word which is said without selfish moves and with sincerity really affects the hearts of others. If even one man or women is saved due to your efforts, then you will be saved from hell fire. Allah is more happy with that women who saves another man or women from the path of KUFR and SHIRK to the right path.

For example if your son goes away from you and comes into the influence of your enemies, if some one reasons with him and brings him back to you, what will be your feelings towards that man and how happy you will be with him. In the same way, our Lord is happier with the man who becomes a medium to convey the truth to others.

34. After you declare your faith:

Once someone vows to become a True Servant of his or her Lord, by accepting Islam, it becomes obligatory on him or her to pray five times regularly. You must learn how to pray, it purifies your soul and gives you inner peace and increase in your love towards Allah. You have to fast during the month of Ramadan and if you are wealthy, you have to give a part of your wealth in Charity. And if you can afford you have to go on Hajj once in your life time.

Beware! Now your head should never bow down to any one else, except Allah. You should stay away from Alcohol, Gambling, Usury (interest), eating flesh of swine, bribe and every thing which is prohibited in Islam. And you should eat with relish and use all things which are permitted by Allah.

You should read Quran regularly and learn the rules of purity and other day to day matters which come in every Muslim’ life.

And you should pray with your innermost heart:

“O our Lord! Let me, my friends and members of my family and every one living on the earth to live in Islam and Let them not die except as a Muslim”.

Because faith is the first and last Saviour of human life. Our Prophet Abraham was thrown into fire only because of his faith and the fire could not harm him in the least, in the same way, faith can turn fire into flower and can overcome every hindrance.

May Peace and Blessings of Allah be on to His Messenger Mohammad and all members of his family, and his companions.

Your Brother in Faith
