اَعُوْذُ بِہللِ مَِ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْمِ ِ نَْمَدُ ہٗ وَنُصَلِّْ عَٰ رَسُوْلِہِ الْکَرِیْم ِ بِسْمِ ہللاِ الرَّحْٰنِ الرَّحِیْم 10 ُِ ھُوَ النَّاص دا ےک لضف اور رمح ےک اسھت. خ � III Enmity behind the Veil of Friendship The most distinguished quality of Islam is that it is a living religion; this cannot be said about any other faith. All religions refer back to the events of the past, but only Islam meets the criteria mentioned in the following verse: ِ ء فِ السَّم�َآ ثَبِتٌ وَّفَرْعُهَا ِّبَةٍ اَصْلُهَا ی َ ِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ ط ی َ مَثَالً كَِمَةً ط 11 ط بِِذْنِ رَبَِّا م ٍْ ی ِح َُّك ُكَُهَا أ تُؤْ تِْ � [Do you not see how Allah sets forth the similitude] of a good word? It is like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches reach into heaven. It brings forth its fruit at all times by the 10 I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed. In the name of Allah, the Gracious the Merciful. We praise Allah, the Exalted, the Greatest, and we invoke His blessings on His Holy Messenger sa. By the grace and mercy of God Almighty—He alone is the Helper. [Publishers] 11 Surah Ibrahim , 14:25-26 [Publishers]
