Islam and the Freedom of Conscience — Page 73
~ 73 ~ manifestation of the greatness of the Holy Prophet sa during these tumultuous days; has arranged for the triumph of Islam from the Divine and established a mission. I would like to ask those people who have compassion for Islam and who have respect and consideration for it in their hearts that can they say if there has been a time worse than this in which this much abuse and disrespect of the Holy Prophet sa has taken place and the Holy Quran has been so blasphemed? I am then deeply saddened and distressed by the condition of the Muslims and at times I get anxious with this grief that there remains not even enough feeling in them to sense this disgrace. Did Allah the Exalted not regard any honour for the Holy Prophet sa in that would He not have established a Divine mission on this extent of abuse to silence these opponents of Islam and to spread his sa greatness and purity in the world. In the event that Allah the Exalted and His angels invoke blessings and salutations on the Holy Prophet sa , how essential it is to manifest these salutations at this time of abuse and Allah the Exalted has manifested this in the shape of this mission. 41 41 Malf uza t , vol. 3 pp. 8 ‐ 9, 2003 Edition
