The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 340
Sixteenth Friday Sennon Mar 08, 1991 MY HUMBLE SUPPLICATIONS But my only wish and only prayer is that the New World Order should be constructed from the clay and water of the changed and reformed nations rather than upon the ruins of destroyed nations. As far as we are concerned, we have already been told by our God that we are frail. Over 1400 years ago, Muhammad. . . , the Messenger of Allah, had forewarned that God was going to establish such great nations that none would have the strength to oppose them. So you should never even think of opposing them with worldly weapons. This is a saying (Hadith) in a Chapter of "Muslim's book Kitab ul Fitan". Anyone can read it from there. The Prophet said: "Whatever will happen will happen through prayers. " God's decree shall destroy these powerful nations when they decide to perpetrate iniquity in the world. If God has kept the world unarmed and helpless and granted these powerful nations unlimited powers to commit evil and vice then the ultimate responsibility of protecting His weak servants also rests on Him. TERRORISM SHOULD BE ERASED FROM THE DICTIONARY OF MUSLIMS Thus there is just one way to obtain this heavenly sustenance and that is, that a bond be established with God and that we reform our own selves as far as possible. No evil should ever be perpetrated in the name of Islam in the future. The concept of terrorism should be removed from the vocabulary of the Muslims. To do mischief and to cause pain to others just to keep some issues alive is a despicable act. These things have nothing to do with Islam. Become peaceful yourselves. Rectify your own relations first. Build up your relationships with the other nations and wait with patience. Then you will see how the plans of God will frustrate the evil designs of every other nation. During the second part of his sermon, Hazrat Khalifa tul Massih IV said: Today, I have taken longer to conclude this subject which I was constrained to discuss. However my heart desires quickly to revert to the subject I was discussing earlier - i. e. What is worship - what pleasures can be derived from worship - how to enrich that pleasure 340
