Surpassing all this, Allah Himself spoke to His chosen people and sent guiding revelations for the moral and spiritual progress of mankind, to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Zoroaster, Confucius, Buddha, Krishna, Ramchander and to thousands more of His revered people. Indeed, the master of all these prophets and Allah’s beloved, Muhammad ( ” allall ā hu ‘alaihi wa sallam), and in the present age, His dear Ghul ā m Ahmad (‘alaihissal ā m) received revelations so that you do not face problems finding out Allah’s will, that you do not go astray, hence wasting time, in your endeavors to find Him. Tell me, is there any blessing that you have not been provided with? You have been provided with all arrangements and all this is so that you can attain the perfection of your life. Remember, Allah needs and loves your progress just like the next person’s. If you so wish, you can get as near to Allah and seek as much of His love as anybody else. All these favors and arrangements are created just as much for you as for everybody else. Just imagine how precious your life is and how great a gift it is. Your life is worthy of great merit and dignity. You have been made trustee of a weighty yet supreme trust. Reflect on the fact that you are the focal point of this universe. You are the most eminent of all creation. You and your species have been given the strengths and capacities that other creation has not been given. The rest of the creation has been appointed to serve you and your species. You have been created in the best of the make, namely, you have been given all the strengths and understanding necessary for eternal progress. Thereupon, you should be overwhelmed with joy and your heart, mind and soul should prostrate before the Creator. You need to reflect over these issues during your daily routines. Praise your God and thank Him. Your heart should be in a state of cheerfulness. You should never entertain hopelessness and disappointment. You should have complete faith in the Powers of your Lord. Your entire trust should be in Him. Make a strong promise of love and steadfastness to Him. You should only fear Him, and He alone should be your desire, objective and beloved.
