The Devotion of Life — Page 76
76 The Promised Messiah as says in one of his poetic rendering: “What is Islam? Only extinction for the sake of Allah, Abandon all self desires for the Will of God. ” Complete ‘Waqfe Zindagi’ As has been mentioned before, only the Prophets get the opportunity to achieve the highest level of ‘waqf’. All Prophets have devoted their lives totally for the sake of Allah and His religion. But our Master the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took this ‘waqf’ to the summit of its true meaning and left no aspect of ‘waqf’ unfulfilled. He advanced in every direction of ‘waqf’ and reached its pinnacle. Thus, the Holy Quran preserved forever the heart’s desire and voice of the soul of The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in these words: ö ≅ è % ¨ β Î ) ’ Î A Ÿ ξ | ¹ ’ Å 5 Ý ¡ è Σ u ρ y “ $ u ‹ ø t x Χ u ρ † Î A$ y ϑ t Β u ρ ¬ !
