Inspiring Events in the Field of Tabligh — Page 35
35 A God Almighty mentioning the principle about true guidance says: ª ! $ # u ρ “ Ï ‰ ô γ t ƒ t Β â ! $ t ± o „ And All ā h guides whomsoever He pleases to the right path. (Holy Qur’ ā n, 2[Al-Baqarah]:214) Again He says: ¨ β Î ) $ o Ψ ø ‹ n = t ã 3 “ y ‰ ß γ ù = s 9 ∩⊇⊂∪ Surely it is for Us to guide. (Holy Qur’ ā n, 92[Al- Lail]:13) The heartwarming bounties of this kind are abundantly found in the field of tabl ī gh as well. The divine succor is sometimes manifested in a way that he who is not directly addressed in the discourse is guided aright. Sometimes, he who would say that it is impossible that he is converted to another faith, joins the ranks of that Jam ā ‘at, and sometimes, he who used to obstruct people from joining A ™ madiyyat, converts to A ™ madiyyat. A few years ago, I was talking to some Arab brothers in Sheffield and some A ™ mad ī brothers were also in my company. The Arabs brought heaps of objections against A ™ madiyyat and the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). By the grace of God, I amply replied to their objections, but they were arrogant perhaps because they thought they were Arabs and masters of Arabic language. They were as adamant as ever. This dialogue continued for more than seven hours and no results materialized. As soon as the meeting was adjourned and the Arab maulavis left, Malikah, a Moroccan lady came to me and very frankly said that she heard the whole dialogue as a silent observer and was fully convinced that A ™ mad ī s carried the day.
