We will have to purify every home, so that everyone brought up in these homes may become a warrior of God and win His pleasure. We will have to arrange for the purification for every colony, every town and every city so that the generation, who lay their lives and consume their time, honour and wealth for the honour and prestige of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , are born and brought up in this very atmosphere.
