Fazle Umar 375 In this way, God Almighty created the means to widely publicise the honest and straightforward advice given by Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra] to the President of America. The Palestine issue was becoming ever more complicated and entangled day by day. The world powers instead of meeting the demands of justice nourished the seed of Zionism in view of their own selfish interests through outright tyranny and oppres- sion. Huzur, in light of this painful reality stated: “That day which the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith warned about centuries before, that day about which the Old and the New Testament warned about, that day which was described to be particularly painful and dreadful for the Muslims it seems has finally arrived. The Jews are again being settled in Palestine. The United States and Russia who are preparing to wipe each other out seem to be strange bedfellows on this issue. And the strange thing is that they were also united over the issue of Kashmir. They were both in favour of the Indian Union and now they are both in favour of the Jews over the Palestine issue. Why is there unity over these issues? Why do these two enemies become united against the Muslims? There can be many reasons for this however one reason may be more apt which is also in our favour. That is they may both visualise their plans being ruined with the progress of Islam. This is akin to the reaction of dogs that gather together when they smell the presence of a lion. Maybe this is the way they gather together. Maybe both of them with their foresight sense the signs of the progress of Islam, maybe the lion of Islam which appears sleeping to our eyes, is moving towards wakefulness, maybe a light shiver in its mane, invisible to its friends is very apparent to the enemy. If this is the case then the dangerous situation is pointing towards the progress in the future however, side by side the huge responsibility on the shoulders of the Muslims is also being presented to them. ”
