Diligence in the Accomplishment of Deen Works
Dear Suruj Makin,
Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuhu.
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, it gives me great pleasure to see you regularly holding your meetings and fulfilling the words of Allah and those of the Khalifatullah in this era of Divine Manifestation. It is this obedience which will Insha-Allah take you to the heights of spiritual success in this life and the hereafter.
You may be few in number today, but the time will come when a wave of spiritual revolution will bring countless souls to your door in quest of the truth of the Divine Manifestation and you should be ready- physically, morally, and spiritually- for this. At this end, you should reform yourselves in a most strict way. You should be your own critic and should strive to change yourselves positively – in the many positive aspects that Islam requires of the Muslim women and girls.
Remember what Allah says in the Holy Quran:
“And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, ‘Indeed, I am of the Muslims.’ And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].” (Fussilat, 41: 34-36)
The works of Islam, Sahih al Islam are manifold. There is Dawat-i-Allah, as well as all works which necessitates a good comprehension of Islam to materialise in your own lives as well as those of others. You should always start with you first.
This is the mission of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and my mission as well. I cannot coerce or force anyone. The will to believe in the truth of the Divine Manifestation of this era and to work relentlessly for the cause of the truth should come straight from the heart, with an intrinsic (inner) willpower to work for the cause, only for the pleasure of Allah.
Insha-Allah, when this love for the work of Deen shall be instilled in you and you try, you make the necessary efforts to help on the works of Deen, each of you, at your own level, in your own capacity, be it in translation works, organising spiritual programmes and study-circles, educating other women and girls and sharing the words of Allah and the news of the Divine Manifestation of this era, only as a way to make the people believe in a Living God Who continues to speak today as He spoke in the past, then everything shall be made easy for you by Allah. At the beginning, you will of course encounter many trials and difficulties, but then Allah shall make things easy for you and you shall see the manifestations and signs of Allah in splendid ways.
This is indeed what Allah has taught us in the verses which I have mentioned above. You should be good, and strive to remain good and instill this goodness in others as well. When you become a light of Allah, you would be able to enlighten the whole world. Your contribution as women of the Divine Manifestation is of paramount importance in this era, and I, as the Khalifatullah of this era, count on you to help in this great work and have a share in this great divine plan.
May Allah bless you all and enable you to fulfill your duties in the best way. Ameen.
I thank you for your kind attention.
